PK, sorry to hear about your loss.
My best friend lost her kitty, Cleo, a Siamese, last month. Tassie, a Bengal kitty, was Cleo's playmate and partner in kitty activities. This is what my friend said to me, which may be of some interest to those of you who are considering spaying your kitty's.
"Our beautiful Cleo gave us 10-1/2 beautiful years before she returned to Source and her longtime companion, Sheena. She was assisted in leaving her discomfort last Sunday, 9/4. Tassie helped give her a bath before the vet arrived so she would continue to look Elegant and Refined. Tassie has slept at that spot on the wicker couch every night since.
Cleo had a brief three weeks from diagnosis of breast cancer metastasized into Lung Cancer until she was unable to walk from the size of the tumor. She also was tired of the 6-8 shots daily into her dehydrated body to help extend her life. She weighed Under 6 lbs when she died. It really was a blessing to extend her life long enough for me to get a grasp on what was coming. We were told that 85% of Feline Breast Cancer appears when they are not spayed by 12 months. Cleo was much older when she was spayed."
