Have any of you ever had to have a cat put to sleep? I did several years ago...an 18 month old Himalayan that I rescued from my other cat's vet after he was attacked by a pack of dogs and bitten all over his butt, back and hind legs. He looked so pitiful in the back of a cage, shaved and stitched up that I just fell in love with him and took him home. He was about 6 months old at the time. When he was 18 months old (name was Harley), he got sick and I took him to the vet, where he was diagnosed with FIP. There is no cure for it and the treatment is very expensive and rarely sucessful. I took Harley home for one more night where I said goodbye to him. The next day, I left work early, went home, took Harley back to the vet and he was euthanized. I stayed with him, holding him in my arms as he died. I'm not ashamed to admit that I cried the whole time. He was so young...he should have lived a long and happy life. I kept his collar and favorite toy.
