Jakey needs to have the rest of his teeth out, his mouth is in quite a bad state and we were going to book him in first week of the new year to have it done but then Radar got ill and died so it got a bit unintentionally delayed (sorry Jakey) :(

Problem is that the insurance excess, euthanasia, and cremation costs for my poor Radar were not cheap and that essentially rinsed us of the money we had available for Jakey's dental surgery. Phoned the vet yesterday to get an estimate and was told "worst case scenario, £1,100" - fuck me sideways.

Had to go cap in hand to my parents to ask for a loan, I hate doing it but it seems to be a regular feature of my life unfortunately - fortunately they are animal lovers and have said to just get him booked in asap and don't worry about it - I know I am probably using up their holiday fund for this year, they are pensioners and not rolling in money :(

Of course I am going to be in bits when he is in for surgery; with such a recent loss still weighing heavy on my heart, I am going to be very anxious about Jakey. He needs blood tests first due to his age, which accounts for some of the cost.
 
We had him home for three weeks but sadly today we took Tango back to the vets for the last time. It was the right decision & the right time. Still hurts like fuck though. Hes the fourth cat me & ms starfish have had PTS & it doesnt get any easier. Hes now buried next to his brother Bob in our garden. Its just us & Mitzi now.

So sorry to hear this, I remember you saying he wasn't well - glad that you got to spend some more time with him, but all that doesn't make it any easier. Love to you all xx
