We have our BW (black and white) male dying. He's 12. He started loosing weight a few months ago. Thought Hyperthyroidism at fires. Treated for that. He responded for a couple of months and then began to loose weight, again. Then, cancerous tumor on the spleen was found.

Rather than put him down, we decided to do hospice, because he is a valued friend.

We give him pain medication twice a day and will until the end.

Putting a friend down is very traumatic. As is this, but this allows him to go in his own way. Hurts just as much.

I am sorry to hear that. I just put down my 17 year old long hair a few weeks ago. Freak’n killed me to do it. We could have done the whole chemo/pain thing but at that point, aren’t we really doing it for us? I mean, if there’s no chance of recovery why put them through it? They rely on us to make that decision for them. Just my 2 cents and I am in no way mocking your decision. They’re family through and through. I hope you have a lot more time with your BW.

Bless you for being such a caring person and making your cat’s life comfortable in his last days.
