Shortly after that, the cat started to dry heave.  I followed her around to be sure she was okay.  She was rather shaky on her feet.  I took her to the vet, who wanted to watch her for 72 hours.  Their initial thought was a stroke, since they spotted a blood clot behind one of her eyes.<\/p>\n<p>I got a call from the vet at about 2am saying that she&#8217;d had a seizure and asking for our permission to treat things more aggressively, which I gave.  But apparently it was all downhill from there, and Nerys passed away at about 4am this morning.  We&#8217;re still waiting for a full report, but right now it appears that she had renal failure which led to hypertension which led to seizures.  She may also have had a brain tumor or some kind of lymphoma, but we don&#8217;t really know yet.<\/p>\n<p>The vet did everything she could, but to no avail.  It seems pretty clear that it was just Nerys&#8217;s time to go, and that even if they&#8217;d been able to revive her, her quality of life for her remaining six months or so would have been unacceptable.  She was 17 years old and had lived a good life.<br \/>\n<br clear=all><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m sorry to report that our cat, Nerys, passed away last night.
