I Had To Put My Kitty Down Today (His Name Was Tiki, A Savannah Cat) ;-(

I had to sadly put down my cat today. He was only 12 years old. My mom was on vacation for a week, and he was still eating and drinking water. Then he started to decline two days ago, shortly after my mom got back home from vacation. After we got home from Church, he was in very rough shape. He could hardly breath. We took him to a vet, and they said he had a bad respiratory infection that was in his nose, and then spread to his lungs. He was also in the stages of kidney failure too. He lost almost half of his body weight (6 pounds. Used to weigh 14, but weighed 8 pounds). The nurse also said that he might have had cancer too, since he had a lump on his neck (wasn't 100% sure though), since he was a kitten. It was weird though, because he was weak, but had a lot of energy and fight in him left, when he was on the table, in the vet. He actually jumped down from the counter onto the floor, like it didn't hurt him. Then he also jumped on the counter again, except stepping on the keyboard, by accident. He was very loving still. I prayed on him and said my final goodbyes to him (my family was there too), before being put down peacefully. I will miss Tiki a lot! You were such a great cat.
