I think it's time for Lily

I have posted before about our dear old Lily-Loo, re the fits etc, and still the fits (around 2 to 3 a day) don't seem to affect her too badly, except just lately it seems to take her a little bit longer to recover from them, still only a matter of an extra 10 to 20 seconds or so, but this evenings events seem to have brought things on a pace.

As I went to help to hold her through the fit, (daft tart will insist on sitting halfway up the stairs, not the best place to be when fitting) she would insist on using her claws and teeth to keep a grip. I know she doesn't mean to hurt, but the last fit resulted in some bleeding patches to my scalp, I have to take Mr P's word for this, I could feel it was a bit shock sore and painful, but he had to put the Savlon on, I couldn't see where it needed to go, but as I had a bad reaction to a previous scratch from her, I accept that it needed something doing.

I still feel that if we got her skin condition sorted, she would be a bit better, but to be honest she is still not "right". When my friend came round last week, the fact that Lily sat quite happily on the stairs rather than taking off like a rocket showed that she is not behaving "normally" for her.

I know it's really the right thing to do, but there is still a part of me that feels that in her own way she's ok. At least the dear old Cluckmeister had the decency to pop her own clogs, if you know what I mean. sad

Iam64 posted this earlier in this thread

"Better a week too soon, than a day too late". and that is what was in my mind today, and I actually quoted it to the vet.

The vet and the nurse said what a very pretty cat she was, and until recently that was true (see pictures on profile, she was the white one, although I never seemed able to get a really good photo of her)

anno and Marelli thank you for the flowers, and many thanks to all who have posted flowers and good wishes, they are so much appreciated.

We adopted her in around 2003/2004, she was about 2,we're both a bit hazy on the actual dates, but the upshot is she had been with us for a long time. I like to think that she had a good life with us, although as she had so many "odd little ways" it was hard to tell!

Much love to you, Lily, you daft tart. xxx

really sorry for you, I was with both my DDs when one had to take tiny kitten and other DD with her dog........ like you say they give us so much pleasure but also so much pain that we think our hearts will break.

Been away so belated flowers. Hope you are all feeling more recovered.

My MiL always had three cats. Whenever one died, another always seemed to move in. She never went looking or encouraged them, they just came.
