I'm late to read this post. God Bless you and your cat. If you take your cat to be put down, your cat wants you with him when he goes.

It's such a sad time for you. You will know when it's time to let go and let God.

One of my cats who died of feline aids could no longer eat and had to stay at the vet for fluid. The 2 things he liked most, eating and being held, he couldn't have. That was how I made that decision

Another my best ever cat friend had extensive lymphoma, legs paralysis and vets wanted to do chemo and a chest tube. He had no dignity to stand to use the litter box. That was it. And he was in pain and fear.

My 18 year old cat who had renal disease for years, finally got lymphoma that wasted her. Steroids helped for 2 weeks. When she couldn't get into the litter box without urinating as she climbed in, that was it.

Cats have dignity.

"your cat wants you with him when he goes."

I will definitely be there to comfort him.
The voice he last hears, the touch he last feels, will be mine.
