Very sad update on Benny, my cat.

 Not long ago I posted about getting my cat back, the one that was gone for 3 years. Well... he contracted Blastomycosis, a fungal disease. It is very rare in cats, and almost always fatal. He had gotten his leg injured. I believe the neighbor cat attacked him. After 2 days it was looking infected. I took him to our veterinarian for treatment. A week later he was much worse and then he began losing his ability to eat and became blind. I had taken him to stay at the vet's office so they could help him recover, not knowing what was wrong. This past Monday afternoon I had to make the decision to have him euthanized. The next day the test results came in. It was so awful. He suffered terribly, and I hate that, but of course I had no idea what was actually happening to my poor Benny. I had never even heard of such a thing.
