Hi all
I would like to first off thank everyone on here who came to our aid over the past few years.
This forum and group is full of some very special people. Thank you.
What happened.
Monday willow had a tooth pulled and was given a good bill of health, all of her blood worked looked good, the vet said she should be around for a lot longer.
Tonight I get home after a long day around 10pm and found willow breathing short shallow breaths. I thought maybe it is her asthma. I gave her the inhaler, she ended up peeing all over the bed and could not stand up.
I rushed her to the 24 hour emergency veterinary. They put her on oxygen, IV and took some exrays. The vet came back into the room and showed me her exrays and said her entire body is full of cancer. She will not make it through the night. I need to put her down now.
I’m sorry, I’m not going to do that, some may disagree with my decision, yet if I would have listen to the four veterans back in 2015 who all said to put her down, willow would not have spent her last years with a family who loved her.
If she is going to die, she will die at her home in my arms with her family by her side. Not in a strange, cold place at the hands of a stranger.
Willow and I have become extremely close. I don’t feel I will ever meet another cat like her.
When I would leave she would set in the kitchen and Merow nonstop supper loud for me driving everyone nuts until I would come home. No matter where I would be in the house willow would come to me and never leave my side, if I left the room she would follow me around like a dog. At night she would either sleep on my chest or under the covers next to me all night only leaving to get a drink or pee and right back to bed she would come. The past year she was having a hard time getting back upstairs, she would Merow for me to come and get her. Every time I would go to get her as soon as I would picked her up she would start to purr. Thank you daddy for coming to get me.
Right now willow can’t walk more than a few feet, she has a hard time breathing, I gave her the last of the pain meds from her tooth being pulled on Monday to ease any pain she may have. It is only a matter of time before she leaves me forever.
Even now on her death bed she still purrs when I touch her. We are on the downstairs couch, she is laying on her side next to me purring while I rub her belly as if nothing is wrong.
I’ll be by her side for her last breath. I’m going to miss her so much.

As long as you can help her with pain I would let her die at home .
