Cue sad music, this is the last chapter! Yep. I wish I could keep this going but I feel that it's reached an impasse. Oh well, I've had fun. Thanks for all the reviews and favourites this has had, it's what kept me writing. long live the shamy!

After the now infamous game night, the gang spent time apart, each to their own, as it may be. Bernadette and Howard took a vacation to Florida (without his mother), Leonard surprised Penny by taking her to Broadway to see a show for her birthday, and Raj was working on a big project that no one really knew about but he talked about aimlessly. It meant Sheldon, Amy and Pluto were left alone in the apartment for a while.

"Do you think we should take Pluto to the vet?" Amy asked Sheldon during dinner. Pluto was lazily sleeping in his basket.
"He does seem a bit down, doesn't he?" Sheldon stared at the dreary cat.
"He's been like this since last week" Amy recalled "but I can't think what would cause it. He doesn't want to play, he barely touches his food..."
"I know, it's probably best we take him" Sheldon agreed "we can take him tomorrow"

The next day, Sheldon and Amy were sat in the vets, Pluto lying across them. They were called in where a male vet welcomed them.
"What seems to be the problem?" He asked as they put Pluto on the table.
"He has not been himself recently, under the weather if you will" Sheldon began "We're unsure if he's actually ill or he's suffering from an emotional problem"
"Lets take a look" the vet poked and prodded Pluto with various instruments as he growled in discomfort.
"Sorry" the vet looked at a concerned Amy and Sheldon "he's a sensitive one"
After ten minutes, the vet was finished.
"Welp, I think Pluto is in perfect health. He has no infections, internal damage and his vitals are great"
"So what is it?" Amy pressed
"I think it's an emotional issue. What are his energy levels like?"
"Usually around the apartment he's very lively and goes all day" Sheldon commented "but as of late this has not been the case"
"Ahh, is he a house cat?" The vet asked
Amy and Sheldon nodded.
"I think I know what's bothering him" the vet began "whilst many cats who are house trained lead a very happy life. However, I think Pluto is suffering from, to use laments terms 'stir craziness'"
"So you mean he's unhappy not being outside?" Sheldon asked
"Precisely" the vet affirmed "so, unless you are willing to let him out, then I don't think his wellbeing is going to get better"
Amy was disheartened. Letting go of Pluto was not something she wasted to do.
"Alright, we understand" Sheldon picked up a now sleeping Pluto "Thank you"
The journey home was silent. Neither of them wanted to discuss the reality in front of them.
As they entered the apartment, they both looked at each other.
"We have to give up Pluto" Sheldon said
"I know" Amy sighed
"It's not fair" Sheldon said glumly
"We can't keep him here if its not good for his welfare. You know that" Amy tried to make sense of the situation.
"I know that" Sheldon stroked Pluto.
"So, I guess we put an advert in the paper" Amy began
Sheldon just nodded.
"I'll type something up" Amy went to get her laptop.
"Amy" Sheldon called
Amy turned back round "yes?"
"Whilst the feline agreement will not be deemed moot, I still want the cohabitation part of our relationship agreement to continue" he said
Amy smiled, actually relieved "thank you, Sheldon"
"I mean, we spent so much find creating it, seems a waste to discontinue it" Sheldon explained
"Of course" Amy replied.
A week later, they had found a suitable owner. A little girl from Glendale who had begged her mother into getting one. She lived in a roomy house and they were happy for Pluto to be a street cat.
They were getting ready to take Pluto over, so they said their goodbyes.
"Goodbye Pluto" Amy began "I want to thank you for the fun times we've had, the memories that I'll never forget. Also, thanks for bringing Sheldon and I closer, because I don't know about him, but I love the way our relationship is growing and can't wait for our future, even if it will be cat free" Amy looked up at Sheldon.
"Ditto" was all Sheldon said.
