Magic our kitty is not doing well since his last visit to the vet. When we took him in to get his shots (for the flight), we learned that he lost another pound in the last 4 months bringing him down to 4.5 lbs. And Magic seems to be going down hill so fast from the time he had his shots and the trip didn’t help either. Bobby weighed him again just a few days ago and he had lost another half pound from the time we arrived. I weighed him again this evening and he’s down more than one pound in the last three days. He weighed in this evening at 2.4 pounds. He’s sleeping almost 100% of the day now and doesn’t appear to be eating anything at all. Bobby has been trying to get him to eat some chicken, tuna, broth, kitty treats and Bob’s been trying anything and everything that he can possibly try to get his poor kitty to eat something, anything.

The vet told us that Magic would eventually get to this point but it is so hard to accept. Today Bobby purchased Magic’s little box and our hearts just about broke. Bobby’s found a little pet cemetery where they will cremate. And we’ve already made plans to have him cremated and we’ll keep him with us until the day we retire. We have plans to eventually burry him in our backyard one day and we’ll plant a tree in honor of him. He’s been Bobby’s friend going on 18 years and it’s so hard to say goodbye.
