“My cat had kidney failure, and the vet said it could of lived on dialysis, but what kind of life is that for a cat? “

My first kitty with kidney failure was a nightmare - we did subcutaneous fluids, special food she hated, frequent vet trips. I’m not sure we did her a favor with all that. With my 2nd, I just got her the k/d food and put out fountains so she’d drink more. With my 3rd, she hated the k/d so I just fed her anything she’d enjoy. They don’t understand why they are suffering like a person would. In hindsight, I never put my kitties to sleep soon enough, but it’s a tough call to make.

Yes, having to put down a beloved pet is one of the hardest tasks in life.
