Had a very upsetting morning. Unfortunately came down stairs and found our cat unable to move his back end, like a paralysis. He had no signs of trauma so kept him comfortable as possible then rushed him up to the vets.
Turns out he's had a heart condition that's caused a blood clot and effected his back end being no movement at all. The prognosis was very poor for recovery. I asked the vet what he would do and he said he felt the best option was to put him to sleep. After speaking to my wife and son we took the decision to put him to sleep.
I wasn't aloud into the vets due the Covid bull shit but kindly the vet said he would sedate him and bring him back into the car so I could say goodbye. Milo was still quite aware when I took him into the car and I told him how much we loved him and there was no need to be scared. I said a prayer as he settled down and stroked his little head. I was so grateful for that. We've lost our other cat Benny which doesn't seem too long ago. I hope Benny will be their to help him as he passes over onto his new journey.
He has given us so much love and friendship. We will miss him. I hope he can cross with ease and at peace.
