My twelve year old male cat had renal failure, but he was only ill for one week and the vet said it was best to put him to sleep.
Another of my cats needed tests and treatments that I could not afford (she had a form of cancer) and I had to have her put to sleep also. I know what you are going through.
Both my cats seemed to know that it was their time - but it hurts like hell.
God bless you - I'll keep you and your beloved cat in my prayers.
Thank you. It is so awful to lose our family members. Funny thing is, I was begging her to hold on and get better. The Thursday before she died, I said to her “it’s okay to go now. I know you’re tired and if you can’t go on any longer, you don’t have to because of me. You can go to God.”
After I told her that, it seemed like she just declined, worse day by day, even though she seemed to get better after a few days of antibiotics.
I’m going to ask Him if we can have them just a little bit longer. I’m sure if I annoy Him enough, and others as well, He’ll give it to us.
