Sir Buttons.
I can believe I'm writing this, especially after losing Pudding and Fluffy last week.
I heard a cat being sick at 4 this morning, and then sick a few more times so got up to check on whoever it was, it was Sir Buttons but worse he was dragging his back legs. He had a severely enlarged heart we discovered a few weeks ago and was in HCM. I pretty much knew it was a saddle thrombosis but rushed him into the vet hopingninwas wrong, but I wasn't. We made the decision to have him PTS because he was in severe pain and it's a condition that they seldom recover from and if the do, they are very likely to have it again.
He was 18 and we had him for 2 years after his owner was diagnosed with a terminal condition and had to go into care. Nobody thought he was 18 because he was a strong looking, chunky lad.
I'm sorry we lost him but I'm glad we found him quickly and I hope he wasn't in pain for long.
