Well, less than 3 months after having to put down our dog Max, Igster, our cat, had to be put down today. He stopped eating, hardly moved and after a few tests, we were told that surgery would be required to possibly save him, but even then, odds were, he wouldn't make it at 13 and the issues at hand. Another awful day. RIP Igster. Please make sure you say hi to Max.
No more pets for my wife and I. I just can't do this again.
Edit: Not a great picture, but here is a pic of Igster:
