Packer`s oldest cat.....14 yrs, died in my arms yesterday of kidney failure......I`m so glad he wasn`t here to experience it......stupid social service wanted me to tell him she was very sick, so he wouldn`t be shocked when he came home and I told him she was dead..........seems stupid for him to worry in the hospital that she was so sick without him.........so, I told him the best I could........p.s. docs are quite pleased with his progress
