Back home with a bump.

After a great holiday I returned home to a poorly cat, Merlin had lost a little weight while we were away and seemed to be panting a lot. I took him to the vets Monday morning and the vet was very worried as it sounded like he had a heart murmur, I rushed him to their main office where he could be xrayed and also have an ECG done.

I dropped him off at 10.30, at about 12.30 the vets rang to say that his condition had worsened and that he was suffering, they were essentially asking for permission to put him down. With a sad heart I gave them permission. He was only 9, a lovely cat, very affectionate. He'll be missed.

I'm having him cremated, just not sure what to do with his ashes.
