Cat Forum / General Topics / March 2008My cat died last week
Hi, My cat died last week, after having treatment for kidney failure. The exact age is 16.5 years old. It was really sad for me. I picked her up on street when she was around 3 weeks old. Probabily our mistakes was unable to discover her tooth problem and giving her too much cat biscuits....bye > My cat died last week, after having treatment for kidney failure. > The exact age is 16.5 years old. > > It was really sad for me.

All the good things far outweigh the percieved mistakes at the end. After all, we're only human.

All the good things far outweigh the percieved mistakes at the end. After all, we're only human. Yes. It's hard to tell when a cat has tooth problems.....We had one that died of jaw cancer. We didn't even know there was a problem until she stopped eating. We called the vet immediately, but it was too late to save her, so all the vet could do was put her to sleep.......Now, with our other (now 5) cats, we have the vet come by and give them a physical inspection every year or so.....They just got done pulling two teeth on Smokey, our ex-feral cat last month......If you can't afford to do that, then inspect the inside of their mouths at regular intervals. Also feel their bodies for lumps and rough spots regularly, and watch for changes in their eating and potty habits. Cats are not good at letting you know when they are hurting. > Hi, > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > around 3 weeks old.

Kidney failure at that age is fairly typical... and any teeth problems had nothing to do with it > Hi, > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > around 3 weeks old.

Don't beat yourself up over what happened- you obviously loved her and cared for her very much Lesley Slave of the Fabulous Furballs
