Our Kitty "Nikki"

With great sadness we lost our beloved Kitty on Friday, October 24, 2008. Nikki was 14 years old and developed a tumor in her mouth, under her tongue, and unable to eat. The vet who treated her was unable to do any more and we had to put her to sleep. We had been on vacation in Palm Springs and had her boarded at the vet due to her not eating, however, they called us on Tuesday to tell us about the tumor they found. We had a sad last couple of vacation days. They took care of her for us and after we got home, we saw her for the last time. We spent an hour saying our goodbyes, petting her and loving her one last time. We wanted to be in the room when they medicated her so she wouldn't feel like we were deserting her again. We got to hold her while she fell asleep. It was like we wanted, to be with her until the end and now she is out of pain. The doctor thinks she may also have had cancer. He said with cats symptoms come on quickly and then it's too late. She will be missed.
