Joachim our beloved cat was a throwaway. No one wanted him so I decided I would take him home. He took to my husband instantly. He was playful but a bit aloof at first. He was so tiny. He grew to be a beautiful cat and was always a bit of a loner. He began losing weight and after 2 different vets and lots of medication he got no better.
Numerous tests revealed nothing. The last test was for lymphomy and that is what it turned out to be. We had to make the difficult decision to put him to sleep because it was so far along. Fortunately or unfortunately he died before we had to go through with it.
I was there as he took his last breath. I just wanted him to know that I would never leave his side. Watching my beautiful cat die in my arms was the hardest thing I have ever had to deal with. We will miss him so deeply. There will always be an empty space in our hearts for our
little fighter-Joachim Piper.
