PAUL-This time last year my elderly cat was diagnosed with feline aids and feline leukemia-The vet wanted to put him to sleep but I made it quite clear that it was not an option-Me and my Mother nursed it for the last weeks of its life,often having to clean up after him many times but I never doubted it was the right decision especially when I found him one day sunning himself on the window sill-Any quality of life is better than no life.
