We had Spike put down today. He had been having trouble in one eye, and that somehow very quickly turned to trouble in both eyes, and yesterday he peed on the carpet. Josh took him to the vet and they said that he was blind and further both eyes would need to be removed. He sort of looked at them and said ummmmm, and they said they would put him down. Amazingly cheap at $80.
Anyway, Josh said it was harder than he thought it would be and he was upset even when I got home. Jocelyn says the cat is at the doctor. Timothy is sad. I reminded Timothy that Spike had a good long life at 14 years, which is twice the average for an outdoor cat, and we should be happy he was so healthy up until about the last 6 months.
RIP Spikey
