My dear Punky passed away last evening after a quick deterioration. She had gone blind 2 or 3 weeks ago, but was still trucking along, being bad and snuggly. In the past 3 days, despite profound blindness, she actually got herself on the bed and was sleeping on my pillow. But last night she started having breathing difficulties and collapsed, and we made a very tough decision.
19 years is a good, long life for a naughty kitten, and we’re all lucky to have known her!
