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.
We just put our cat down a little over two weeks ago after going through pretty much the same thing. She stopped eating dry food back in January and started throwing up more often (she was long haired so was always barfing up hairballs). Brought her to the vet and they ran tests and couldn't find anything wrong. She seemed to have trouble swallowing or digesting food, not sure what but she didn't want to eat very much. She ate some canned food, the softest we could find, but kept losing weight. At the end she only weighed a few pounds. She was 13 so we knew the end was coming. One day she threw up, including some blood with a big hunk of something from her insides. She then laid down like she wanted to die and we made the decision to bring her to the vet to be put down.
Not going to lie, it was tough. It still is, it was hard just typing that out. But that was our 4th cat over the years so we've been through it before and eventually like any death you get over it with time.
