My cats nearly dead

Lynus my cat is coming to the end of his long life, He must be 19 ish, We lived hare 20 years and he came just after, Janet ran over the last one, (Smudge), Lynus has a sore mouth, I think it may be cancer, He sucks his food, And drinks water like a fish, We took him to our local rip off vet last year, He said he just needs his teeth polishing Blox i thought, He's a cat, And he isnt going on X factor, , He has lost all his weight, Dosnt do much (Never did) And now he relieves himself all over, You never saw Lynus do his ablusions before, So what do i do ?, I dont want him to suffer, And i dont want to buy the vet a new car, They will try to keep him going for as long as possible, Their all locums at our vets, Spend 3 months here then nash, So they just rent a room and the receptionist, Scandal really, But i saw what they get up to on tv,
Bit like old people, Stinking of wizz, And messing themselves, Dont want none of that,
I may breeze over tommoro and see what they say,
Oh bring him in for assessment, And bring your debit card, Bassas

All you can do Reg is do what YOU think is best. If he is suffering it would be kinder to stop his suffering.

When I first met Trish, my cat was like that. Couldn't clean itself, fur got all matted, started messing in the house. I took it to the vets and got it put down. I was in tears coming out of there, I'd found that cat as a little stray kitten in the mid-60s and it must have been about 1980 when it died, 'cos that's when I first met Trish and she went to the vets with me.

I'm so sorry to hear about Lynus Reg! Micky had a virus a couple of months ago where he could not eat as his mouth was too sore. Have a look at his tongue, see if the tip is pink/reddish? The vet told me the name of the virus but I have now forgotten. He could of course not clean himself at the time and it was painfull to eat. I know Lynus is very old and it may be his old age but do have a look at his tongue.

Ive never been catless, But wont be getting another, Worse than kids they are,
Edward Roach my jack Russel that decided he was going to live with us, He lived a long life too, Took him to the vets with my apprentice, Breezed into the vets, He said past his sell by date i'm afraid, Quick injection and Ted just stopped breathing, Gave me his collar and said i will send you the bill , Went out to the van and apprentice took one look at me and he started beefing too, Pair of numptie's sat crying, He loved Ted as well,
feck, Not looking forward to this palava,

So did you have a look at his tongue?

Oh yeh, Lynus show us your tongue, Joking apart, Thats working because he is sat in the sun cleaning himself,
French doors not outside,

How did you come up with the name Lynus?

Haha! I was thinking the same thing, Peanuts and Charlie Brown were going through my mind...

He came with that handle, Cat crazy women round the corner heard Janet flattened Smudge, Nock on the door, Loony with kitten in hand, What do you do ?, Oh thanks very much, Dont mention it, His names Lynus, Blox,

You think he is suffering Reg, remember cats purr when in pain as well as when happy. If in pain as hard as it is for us think we should let them go, as we should our elders. OOPS got into trouble elsewhere for saying that.

Like to put my mother down, Nasty viscous, not on this planet, Glad i dont look after her,

It could be his teeth - I would get them checked. Infected gums and teeth aren't just a problem in the mouth. In dogs and cats they can affect the heart, kidneys and intestine. The tartar contains bacteria than can travel to other parts of the body.

TD, think I started the euthanasia thread elsewhere as it was currently a topic on Emmerdale at the time. I am all for it, you put your pets out of their misery, why not your loved ones.

65 max, Then your out, No exceptions, Black double decker bus's picking them up, Get the gold out whilst waiting, Teeth rings and that, Self funding then, Special dogs trained to find pensioners. Wouldnt be hard, They all smell of moth balls and urine,

Yes think you did and some pillock got really upset with me.

65 Reg? Are you effing sure? Vast majority of me still in working order, note I didn't say GOOD working order but none the less. And what about the members here who are already that age? Jeez, think again Reg.

Remember that series "Logan's Run" where everyone was killed before they hit 30

I think it is all down the quality of life, whether Human or animal, if the person has expressed this in front of solid witnesses they still can't be put to sleep, yet if we don't do it to an animal we are known as cruel. Another damned if you do, damned if you don't.

Yeh, Bin them all, Make room for all the ethnics, In fact give them keys to our houses, Why hang about,

I don´t have long left .... if I follow the same pattern as my parents and grand parents I have 2-3 years max. :sulk1: but like PS at least at the moment everything seems to be in pretty good working order. I have plans in place for the next 5 years of things I am wanting to do so I'm not ready to hand anything to anyone without a fight. But should I get to the point where I just want to roll over then I hope someone will give me a push rather than leave me to hang around.

You looked ok to me, But then again that diabetes screws your eye sight,

I'll take that as a compliment McQ it's the best I'm likely to get

You looked OK to me too, and I was sober, wonder what your like when I am pissed

Yes it was, More than 5 years left for sure, Best not to know anyway,

A good 20 left, for a start relatives probably did not live in the relaxed life of Tenerife.
