This is our cat Winnie, a 12 year old Persian (13 next month).
He stopped eating middle of the week at some point and was sleeping all the time.
We took him to the vets this morning as he was walking shakely and couldn't lay down. They found a tumor the size of a tennis ball attached to his pancreas. They said he had hours to live and not days.
To say this knocked us of our feet is an understatement. He's never been ill, to go downhill this quickly has shocked as and I can't get over it.
He was put to sleep this afternoon.
Am absolutely devastated, never felt so upset by losing a pet before. He was a larger than life character, acted like a kitten right up to his last few days, such a personality. He'll be sorely missed.
Rest easy Winnie X
