Last Thursday we had to say goodbye to our Cheeto. He had a slew of medical problems throughout the six years of his life and I feel we gave him the best life we could.
His biggest problem was his spinal cord issue. It was diagnosed awhile back that it was too short and he would never walk normal. Well over the past month his walking got really bad. He was pretty much just dragging himself around and essentially became incontinent. We took him to the vet to see if there was anything else we could do, and when the prednisone didn't help, we knew it was time.
It was one of the hardest decisions we've ever had to make, but you could tell Cheeto just wasn't himself anymore either. Jim took him to the vet and he said it was like Cheeto knew. Usually he's really hard to get into the cage, but I guess he didn't give Jim any trouble. He didn't cry on the way to the vet or in the waiting room like he usually does either. We decided to keep his ashes so I'll be picking them up at the vet today. It's just so weird that he's not here anymore. That little squeaky meow, the way he would essentially body hug your leg, how he loved to lick the sweat off a cold can or bottle. He will definitely be missed...

This is so sad. I'm tearing up just reading this post. Having a pet leave you just breaks your heart and I'm sorry that you've had to deal with this for so long. I'm glad he's in a happier place and probably feeling better already...
What a beauitful baby kitty... So precious.
RIP Mr. Cheese- you're where all the sweet and adorable things end up- in a beautiful place- happy and no longer suffering.
so hard to lose a beloved pet. I love my kittys so much. Cheeto was blessed to have such a caring family for the last 6 years.
