Moxie :(

[lesliepear]

I don't think Moxie is doing very well. He's hiding and not eating (I've tried to force a little food down today, he had been eating up till the last day or so) - I do have a vet appointment tommorow night, and I sadly think he may not come home. He'll be 16 in August but I don't think he's been well the past few months. We've decided not to get another cat (Mark doesn't want one) for now, and there is no room for any other kind of pet here (even a fish).

And no matter how many times Mark says we have Alan now, it isn't the same, especially after almost 16 years (and having to rehome Inky at age 13 last fall).

There are 3 people on my friend's list who lost long time pets recently (and Moxie had met one of them) - it's really hard.

That's so tough. All of my family's cats have been getting much older in the past few years, and the eldest two have died. Lucky died two years ago, followed by Peeper last year. The rough part is just knowing that Reebok is only a year younger than Peeper, and his turn is coming soon (he's 16 now), and that Toad is only 2 years younger than Reebok.
