Sara, How sad to lose Taj at such a young age. Thank you for making his short life so happy, and I agree that heroic measures under the circumstances would have been unkind to Taj. As my vet told me last week when I had my CRF cat euthanized "Heroic measures are often more for the owner than the cat".
I hope your Rani lives a much longer life. They are both so fortunate to have you.
