I need some wholesome shit right now.
My cat is dying. She stopped eating her dry food over a month ago. I tried some canned food we had, but that was too solid, so I bought some liquid food. She licks a little bit, but never finishes it.
Hey ability to make it to the litter box is gone. We now have piddle pads all over the house.
Just the other day she wanted to go outside, and she spent longer out there than she had ever spent, and slowly made her way out of the yard, further than she has ever been.
She can't walk that well now, she can only make it a little way before she needs a break.
I think she only has a week or two left, and I want to spend as much time as I can with her.
I just want to hear some good stories from you guys about the last few times you had with your pets.
Fren, we are going through the exact same thing with our kitty Emily, age 18. Very rough days we are having, and nights. I could have written what you wrote. So none of us are alone, this is a universal pain among animal people. So I want to tell you something. Whether you believe in spiritual matters and hearing God or angels, or not, I will still tell you this. Someone close to me who really does commune with angels and is most beloved by God, has asked for confirmation before that an animal we love is passing in peace and that they will be looked after, to make the transition without being distraught. Reassurance that we were making the right decisions. This person has not only been given the name of the angel who will accompany the animal through transition and be lovingly holding them as they arrive, but the fact that as we waited for the end, they "are already there with you".
Thanks fren. Sorry to hear about Emily.
