May 19:
Bette’s life is now done. We chose to put her to sleep. I don’t know what happened but she’s so quickly declined. She wasn’t lucid. She was in and out of it. She wasn’t really aware of her surroundings. Because she would physically panic If off oxygen, they arranged for us to go back to the room and see her in the oxygen cage and talk to her and say goodbye. Then they brought her out so that we could hold her and pet her and she started to struggle a little bit but she was so out of it also because of the pain meds, but in a different way that when they gave her the first medication that usually puts them to sleep, and usually stings, and a cat who is conscious enough reacts, she did not react. And then she was quickly gone with the next medication. We are now dropping her off for a necropsy, so that we get an idea as to what happened.
UPDATE: See a later post about her necropsy which showed she had cancer in the brain.
