I wasn’t looking to euthanize him, just ease his pain like we do with humans. If I accidentally gave him too much, at least he’d die peacefully at home.
He has been such a faithful friend. I always called him my little man. He’s Maine Coon, orange color, so big some people didn’t even know he was just a kitty when they first saw him.
My dad always loved cats, some used to call him the “cat man”. I told him today to say hello to his grandpa when he passes.

Thanks for “listening” to me. It makes me feel better.

I understand that. You’re a good cat mom. Was trying to think if I have any kitty meds for pain, but all I have are anti-inflammatories and eyedrops. They wouldn’t get to you very quick anyway.

aww, he sounds gorgeous. I love Maine Coones. I’ve never had one but I’ve always wanted one. Does he like to play fetch? I hear they are the biggest breed. How much did he weigh at his peak? Do you have a picture you could post?

That is sweet about your dad. Did he know your kitty? I know that when I pass on all of my departed animals are going to be there to greet me. My last one was Cashmere, I have to put her to sleep about a year and a half ago. She was only nine but had kidney failure for a while. She never did eat very well and was terribly petite. I still miss her. She was the undercat of the three silver Persians. I always had to look out for her to make sure she got enough food, enough bugs to play with, enough toys. I think the worst part is the few months after they pass, where I still look for them in their usual spots. It’s so hard.

Where is the thread I wrote when she passed. I couldn’t get over losing her, and I kind a wanted to put a memorial together. It really did help me.
