Last night, our beloved Siamese, Camilla, didn't finish her dinner. This morning she was too quiet, and neither drinking nor eating. By 1pm she was vomiting so we found a vet practise that was open and got her there.

Blood showed that she was in renal failure, and by now the spark had gone out of her eyes.

RIP Camilla, sleep well.

So sorry to read this View, iv'e had Siamese and Oriental cats in my life since i left home at 16, they will always be my first passion, if it's any consolation, it is better that cats go quickly with renal failure, i have experienced some upsetting slow declines and the end result is sadly still the same . RIP lovely Camilla, hugs to you View xxxx

Thank you all.

We were lucky to find a vet that respected our wishes. Once the light had gone from her eyes, there was only one thing to do, and she went peacefully being cuddled.

She was such a character. We will all miss her reminding us that it's her dinner time and looking disapprovingly if we are sitting in the chair where she wants to sit.

I am sorry, View.

Our cats are the heart of our house and it's always so hard when you have to give them back. I'd have made the same decision as you and have done several times when many would think it was too early. But I knew and they knew it was time.
Sleep tight, Camilla.

Can we see come photos of the lovely girl when you're ready?

I'm so sorry, it is so hard losing any animal and I as a Siamese owner (although she sees it that she is an owner of a human) know what huge characters they are and can imagine the awful silence in the house today. Do hope you feel better soon.
