Sad day Chez eb.
Rocket has Cancer and needs to go over the Rainbow Bridge.
Brokenhearted, but euthanasia is the most humane option.

It all happened so fast. He had a huge tumor that blocked 90% of his windpipe. DH and I do not believe in Chemo/Radiation for pets because they suffer and do not understand the treatment.
The vet said that we could try steroids, but that would only buy him 3 months. And I was very unsure of his quality of life. So, euthanasia today was the most humane choice.
But it was not easy. The lesson learned today was to do the euthanasia at home, not at the vet’s office.
Toast to Rocket, the good boi’s, boi cat.

I'm so sorry for your loss, EB. He will only remember that your DH and you were with him until the very end. May he rest in peace and be pain free.
I totally agree with Gnuj, EB. Couldn't really have said it any better.
Life for Rocket was a long stretch of eating her kibble which she liked so much (I remember this) and getting stroked and paid attention. The end wouldn't have hurt -- it's not supposed to, right? And much better not to put her in a position -- steroids or something else -- that would have prolonged her suffering. You're right, she wouldn't know what was going on if she got exposed to a new treatment.

Especially hard when so sudden.
It's heartbreaking. But it seems like Rocket was very lucky to have you for his human
I don't want to be insensitive, considering the above, but I really wanted to share this:
A sub-forum for designer and other furniture/items?
We're trying to get a sub-forum dedicated to designer and other furniture/items started. Do you love designer furniture as well as other special bits and bobs as much as your bags, and want to share them with and inspire the rest of us? Or if you need advice on something you're thinking of buying, there's sure to be a TPF:er who has experience to share.
We'd love for you to join us with odes, ideas, tips, yay:s and nay:s and most importantly pics of your favourites. Big and small, expensive and cheap, flea market treasures to IKEA to Gae Aulenti and Verner Panton. Minimalist to lavish. And don't forget DIY and hacks. And kitsch!
All the special items that make our day a bit brighter like your favourite lamp or steam mop or French cocotte. Or Maserati. Don't you want to give all the car fob pics their rightful home?!
Join us here! Hermès bags and slg in supporting roles are also welcome

Home & Garden - Designer and Other Furniture
Would it be possible to have a sub forum for designer and other furniture/items in general? People post pics here and there on the other forums but they tend to get lost in the general chatter and threads. Likes and dislikes, tips, finds, big and small, expensive and cheap, IKEA to Gae Aulenti.

All day? What took so long? Did the vet have to squeeze him in? I have no knowledge of vet practices whatsoever, but I'm guessing if it was an at-home procedure, you might have had to wait a while before he could do a home visit. IMO, it was better to send Rocket to the catnip heaven as fast as you could, which you did. Of course, hospitals don't make procedures and operations easy and smooth running for people, either.
Don't wait too long to get a kitten . . . Rocket was Siamese, right? Or close to it?
My husband had work issue. The vet Appt was for 10:30AM. I was told it would take a while, so I drove home. It was around 2:00 when we had our discussion with the vet and decided euthanasia was the best option.
Here’s a picture of the good boy.
EB, I'm sorry. Rocket will long be remembered on chat for the loving, fun boy he was. His end was much too early, but you and DH gave him a wonderful life with a dignified end. Hugs to you all.
A handsome cat. Siamese are supposed to be talky. Was that true of Rocket?
