I am writing this story to share what happened so that others can know what to do in such a situation. This is a female Thai cat aged 17 years and 4 months. A month ago he started to lose a lot of weight. He stopped eating two weeks ago. We took her to the vet for injections. She had trouble breathing then, and the vet said she might not wake up if she operated on her. We fed her a syringe for a few days. She didn't want to eat alone. He usually lives inside the house, but before he stopped eating, he went out and hid outside. He regained his breath for two days, but still did not want to eat. Eventually, he stayed outside and lay on a bench under the covers for several days without moving or going to the bathroom. Thinking she would die on her own. Well, two days ago he got up and started meowing. Then I decided that the best option is to no longer struggle and undergo euthanasia, which was performed the next day (yesterday). She had cancer. I'm not sure if the cause of the cancer is that they have been given contraceptives for a long time. She was not castrated. I am writing this for those people who have pets to know that castration is a better option than contraception and that pills can probably make them sick.

No, it's just 17 years old. Don't blame yourself unnecessarily.
That was certainly the reason. Anti-heat pills are extremely dangerous for animals and almost everyone who is aware of the risks of them does not use them. You should have been better informed before poisoning her, but what happened will not bring the animal back.
Your cat has not had cancer. It's just old. I had a Siamese cat. My father took it when I was 2 years old and died when I was 18. It's been 16 years, which is old age for a cat. I remember the day he died. I was in 12th grade, one morning I had just woken up as a teacher, but I hadn't gotten up yet. I was lying in bed. At one point I heard something hit the ground in the hallway. I jumped out of the room and saw the cat fall to the ground and could barely breathe. He had been ill for several days, not eating, hardly drinking water. Her eyes were beginning to sink deep into her head. I was going to be jealous .. I didn't want to go to a teacher, but they made me .. I didn't stop thinking about it all day. In the end, when I came home, she was gone ... I realized that later that day she died and she was buried somewhere outside ... My childhood was spent with this animal, I loved her very much.
Yes, that's the reason! These contraceptives are extremely dangerous, there are pictures everywhere of what they cause - huge tumors, cancer and various other diseases. It is no coincidence that they are banned all over the world ... Do not give such pills to your animals if you want them to live long and be healthy. Castrate! I say this as a future veterinarian, third year at Thracian University.
I completely agree with the Author. As a child, I also rescued a Thai cat (an old Siamese breed) from the street. It was a unique animal. They are attached to 1 person and that was me. It was my vent during a very difficult childhood and puberty. I didn't eat at school to buy her food, and exactly from these contraceptives, because our people didn't want to give any money to the cat, and I couldn't raise pocket money for castration with
1. At the age of 10, the cat died in the same way as the Author describes it, or at least that is how I was described. I went to study and I could not take her with me, and my mother could not take care of her. The animal is drowning. Then she died. My sister claims that her mother stepped on her and it is because of this or she gave too much of the pills. I decided not to have any more animals until I could afford them. Today, at the age of 33, with his own home, high income I have two cats. I also saved the big one from a shelter, harassed and abused, but I fixed it with a lot of patience. We took a little kitten for his company. Both cats are ordinary. I decided not to take a Thai or Siamese cat anymore because they are actually too attached to just one owner and suffer when you are not at home. My two cats have been neutered, they have EU passports, vaccinations, they eat the best cat food, etc. If I don't have money one day again, I won't watch animals struggle. In my opinion, however, the author's Siamese died of natural causes. They euthanized her properly, but they also left her outside for the last few days. My cats love to be in the garden and when we are outside they are always with us. We want to leave work and travel around Europe with a camper for 1 year. We will definitely take the cats.
