However, there is something that has got me down. My 15, nearly 16 year old cat has recently become very reluctant to eat her food. She acts as if she is in pain when chewing, and doesn't like to be touched or fussed as much as she used to. She has her moments where she is happier than ever, but always result back to not acting herself.
She has had these same symptoms before, so we took her to the vets. She had to have a few teeth taken out, and the vet said that this could be a reoccurring thing.
Our family are contemplating whether it would be OK for her to have her teeth out, and to just excessively mash up her food, so she is able to eat properly, or whether it would be kinder to put her down.
Claudia is my healer. Whenever I feel upset, down, or unwell, she will always sense there is something wrong, come over and sit on my lap, and soothe me. It always cheers me up.
I knew I would always have someone there to comfort me, regardless of the situation, who wouldn't judge, and always knew how to make me feel better. Now, I wish I could take all my energy and heal her, to say thank you for all the times she made me feel better... But I can't.
I hope this isn't on it's way to becoming the end. I hope that this girl has a few more years left ahead of her. Although, I do have to face up to the possibility that she may not, and soon, it might be.
Hold on, Claudia. We love you <3
