DRAGON

Dragon is sick. he is one of my cats, and i have struggled with this for some time, but today we are having him put down. He is at least 11 yrs old, maybe older(I got him 9 yrs ago, the people before us had him at least 2). He has had 2 operations. He is very large(26 lbs), not overweight, just a big cat. He stopped cleaning himself a few months ago, so I have been doing it. He barely eats at all. The other cats ignore him completely. He sleeps all day everyday. In the mornings he is usually in the same spot as when we go to bed. He hasn't been using the litter box all the time. Now he has open sores on his face. He is just old and in pain. Sydney cried all day when we told her, but she said that she doesn't like to see him hurting. She understands in her own way. Peter is taking it the hardest. I met peter a yr after i got dragon, and dragon adopted him immediatly.

I just dont see any other way. Life is so unfair sometimes. If there was just a magic pill to make him all better.
