This morning seemed like any other morning, until I found Neo, one of our four cats, sprawled out on the stairs howling. I managed to unhook his claws and move him, but his back legs had completely gone, he was panting and appeared to be in agony.
This was odd because an hour ago he was completely fine. I even caught him stealing some cat food out of an almost-empty tin. From what I've gathered he has Saddle Thrombus, a nasty condition where a dislodged blood clot causes the back legs to stop functioning.
This is very sudden and very sad for all of us, as just two years ago the mother of our cats, Jenny, was hit by a car and died shortly after. Mum and dad have taken him to the vets, and I'm waiting for them to come home now, so please keep Neo in your thoughts.  |

Thanks ham5ter. Neo sadly had to be put to sleep but at least he isn't in pain anymore. Apparently the saddle thrombus was caused by a congenital heart defect, which explains why he wasn't active and never put on weight.  |

Poor kitty. At least he isn't in pain any longer.

Thank you everyone for your support. I'm really starting to miss Neo's presence around the house; he used to always meow for food whenever my parents came home from shopping, but now there's just silence. ![[nsad] [nsad]](/images/smilies/emot_sad.gif) |

Losing a pet is always horrible. But you did the right thing. No animal should be in pain like that.
I'm sorry for your loss! |

It's really difficult now, and it will be for a while, but one day you'll start to feel better and able to think happily over the memories you have of Neo.  |

Oh, I'm so sorry D: You did the right thing though, and I'm sure that wherever Neo is now, he misses you too. |

Thanks again for the kind messages everyone, I really appreciate it. I've been feeling a bit better today but I still felt sad this morning when I didn't hear Neo's familiar meow waking up my mum and dad. I hope I go on well at college tomorrow. |

Sorry for your loss You did your best to give him a good life and did the right thing in the end, no matter how much it hurts. Try to remember the happy times you spent with him. |
