I think it is kinder to put a cat down than give it shots every day. I know, y’all get attached to a particular special friend. I am not trying to be cruel or insensitive. You can get a doomed cat from the pound for far less money in honor of your late friend, and do a lot more good that way, I believe.

Believe it or not, it's really simple to give a cat or dog an injection. The reaction of the pet depends on the animal's pain tolerance and personality - each animal is individual in this regard. My favorite cat had renal failure for the last couple years of his life. I gave him fluid injections under his skin and also Pepcid injections for his nausea. He tolerated all of it very well and it greatly improved his health.

see my post #39. Most older kitties at some point have kidney failure.
Dehydration makes them feel absolutely miserable and the fluids give immediate relief.
