So... my oldest cat lived his full life until 21. He passed at home quietly. Of course I miss him, but he had had his life.

Not long ago my other 7 year old cat took ill, at first it seemed like a bladder infection, I took him to the vet the day after. And the illness had progressed. It was a totally different thing, called saddle thrombus, and it is very deadly. Even if you can save the cat once, it will reoccur. From having a healthy cat, I had a dying cat. I had to let the vet put him down.

It was a shocking event. I'm OK but it's too quiet at home. The dog is very depressed.

I knew I had limited time with my cat since he was not "normal", but I had pictured at least 12 years with him. He probably had Klinefelters, and in cats, small heart stuff can happen that you really can't diagnose, but if they are the bad type, they can cause clots.

Rest in peace little friend.
