It wasn't our cat, but I had no choice, since our other cats didn't want to know him, and no-one else wanted to try and take care of him. I love animals, and even though he smelled badly, I was the one who was there, giving him some love that he probably craved for and he knew this, since I was the only one giving him attention. So, it pained me to go to the vets which is about 5 minutes on the bus, however, we took a nice stroll and let him smell the fresh air for 30 minutes on the way. No meowing, not one single noise could be heard, since he was I guess, happy. Further to that, when he had his first shot, a sedative or anaestetic, it took a long time for it to react so, it gave me enough time to call his name out so he knew that I was with him. He was given the second shot and I waited for a further 10 minutes, then it was all done. Damn shame!!! My father also passed away 2 years ago to cancer of the lungs with metastasis in the liver stage 4, basically terminal cancer. I have seen him with the treatment and it made me sick and I have vowed that should I ever have cancer, I am just going to face it head on, no treatment.
Sucks, doesn't it?
