12 Years Ago A Vet Told Wife & I To Have Tabby Cat Put Down

[cachukis]

11. Mine eventually had cancer in an eye. The vet

offered to remove it for free if she could keep the eye for study.
The cat eventually had bowel problems and often the intestine would stick out. We would give him an enema and out came the poop and the intestine returned to its proper place.
One weekend we went to my wife's cousin's wife's memorial. We had already mourned her passing.
At a drive through at a bank, our cat sitter called to tell us our cat had passed. We were crestfallen and teary eyed. The sitter asked what she should do. I told her to take a heavy duty garbage bag, wrap tge cat, and put him in the freezer.
At the ceremony we sat on either side of the cousin. I kept crying at the loss of our dear cat.
Other guests were commenting how we must have been really close to the deceased.
Little did they know, it was our cat.
At the reception at the house, I told the story of our cat's demise at 26 and how he was frozen for future burial at our home.
Many of the attendees had been to our house for Thanksgiving over the years. Some were not sure about an invite for the next one.
