Me, I went into full middle-class shame mode that my kid has acted poorly in public and that she'll have that incident on her record.
Yeah, mine had sedation orders for "behavioral infraction" on her record for over 8 years thanks to a multi-staffer biting spree during a single visit. I was mortified. I had to plea for them to put away the needle on every mundane checkup (while she growled and howled up a storm). I was so relieved when the record finally got expunged. :twitch:

Incidentally, she bit the tech nice and hard during her euthanization 18 months ago.
The Boss and I laughed but in that horrified knowing way. If the next check-up goes poorly next year, we're going to see how much more it costs to do a housecall.

When I see pics like this I miss having a cat. The weather will be nice soon though and the neighbors cat will come and visit while I grill.

Same - my husband is not a fan, so I have to be satisfied with friends' cats.

The day has finally come. We are scheduling Sparky to be euthanized on Wednesday. He very likely has a brain tumor and has begun rapidly deteriorating.

I’m both gutted and laughing bitterly at the way he’s timed this to we had to buy him a 25 dollar bag of his speacial food for two days. A thorn in my side until the very end.

I will miss that hideous bastard eternally.

So sorry to read this, Jon. Everything you've shared over the years indicates that he'll be a lasting part of your life. It's all we can hope for that we make those connections that will endure after we part.

So sorry Jon. Really hard stuff. At least you know he's lived a full, horrifying life.

I'm so, so sorry. Like I said on Twitter, I kind of feel like Sparky was our unofficial IMCT mascot (after Hoy, of course). And, as I always say, no matter how old they live to be, they never live long enough. I hope you are giving him a great last day.

I've had to say goodbye to a few friends over the last couple of years (Lucy-furr the cat & Iggy-pup the dog). It sucks, it doesn't get easier but I think we know that going in when we take animals into our lives. It's still worth it. Goodspeed to Sparky. Try to celebrate his life,
