My 17 year old beautiful big sweet boy has suffered with mouth inflammation that makes eating difficult and painful for about 18 months. He's had injections every 3 weeks to help with it but slowly it got worse. Over the weekend we decided it was the right time to call it.
I'll get another cat or two at some point, but with money very tight until the old house sells It'll have to wait. I thankfully have neighbours with cats & dogs so I can still pet them :)
