Just found out that my wife is going to put her cat down later this afternoon....

When I first met my wife the cat weighed in at around 26 lbs...in the last 8 months he's lost 2/3 of his weight so he's down around 9 lbs...something's not right and he's not wanting to do steps anymore and has a weird **** meow now, he goes all night with it...she's had him 16.5 years of his 18 year life

With the boy home from college my wife just wants the cat not to suffer anymore

Totally dry, 20mph punched it, no traction and instantly bouncing off rev limiter. Shot email to tuner and here was his reply, Like he thought I was just bouncing it off the limiter cause it was fun.

After 18 years sound like its time. Atleast y'all gave it a good life.

You should never romp on it on wet pavement.

I'm not a tuning expert but it sounds like you're missing two pistons

Hard to do that to a pet but 18 yrs is a long life for a cat. I'll bet another is in the near future!

Not sure the current generation of folks are ever going to see that kind of appreciation in their homes -- you definitely lived in the "Golden Age" of property value increases! The wife and I have been in our home almost 15 years and we would realize very little appreciation on our home if we sold today -- and we live in what is considered an "up-and-coming" part of the Houston area.
