Secant’s cancer finally got the best of her and Mom had to take her in to be euthanized yesterday. Mom hung on as long as she could (tube feeding, experimental therapy, even doing subcutaneous rehydration) but it had become clear that Secant was no longer able to function at all and there was no hope of recovery, only further deterioration. Secant was approximately 16 years old.
Secant was a wonderful cat who we, of course, never sufficiently appreciated. She was exceptionally friendly and gentle, and quite affectionate. She was wonderful with the children, who liked her as well. Here’s a few photos of her in rememberance.
My condolences on Secant’s passing. I’m sure it was hard on the kids. But probably harder yet on Mom.
