Aressar 08/20/21 4:18:02 PM #1:	She had been gradually losing weight over the course of this year, but after a few visits to the vet it now turns out 70% of her kidneys are no longer functional. The vet prescribed medicine and kidney diet to make the situation more manageable, which it was at first. But this week she's been getting gradually weaker every day, and today she's barely eating, if at all. She looks very thin, is listless, has trouble keeping balance and it takes a lot of effort for her to get anywhere. I've been hoping that she eats something, but she hasn't. It hurts to admit it, but I've come to face that she will be dead soon. Tomorrow a good friend who used to be my cat's human before me is coming to visit, and I've kept her up to date on the situation. I hope my cat survives at least until then, so that they can have their goodbye. If my cat survives the weekend, I think it will be for the best to have her put to sleep. She is suffering and it's only getting worse. I just needed to get that off my chest. Still feel like shit, and I probably will for a while. --- One time, CE triggered me so hard with their objectively wrong opinions that I accidentally punched myself in the balls. <cite>Aressar posted [p:957273361] in My cat is ...

Yeah, from what I've heard, it happens to one on three cats. I try to stick to high quality cat food, but there's just so much salt and and phosphorus in most ones, it's ridiculous. Zikten posted...

cjs28 08/20/21 4:50:17 PM #8:	My cat kinda went through something similar. Her pancreas failed and she went from 11lbs to 6lbs and was skin and bones. She refused to eat for months and even when I put food in front of her eith enzymes for digestion, she wouldn't eat it. It got to the point where I literally shoved bits of food in her mouth with the enzymes every hour to get something in her, but she would just throw some of it up later. Eventually I had to put her down. She wasn't immobilized and intensely suffering yet, but I know it was only a matter of time and I didn't want her to get to that point where she would be in a lot of pain >_> It was really hard but I knew it was the right thing to do and the best for her. I'm sorry to hear about your cat, but if there is really no hope that they'll turn around, it might be better to put them down before they really start to suffer. --- NeonOctopus's alt >_> <cite>cjs28 posted [p:957274244] in My cat is ...

AirFresh 08/20/21 4:52:01 PM #9:	I've been there and experienced this. I am glad you are able to recognize that they are struggling and taking everg measure to monitor them. Cats are very prideful creatures and will try to hide any weakness so it is really up to us to make sure they are okay. My advice is to simply spend time with them, give them their favorites and make it as easy on them as possible. People for some reason think animals are stupid but they are very good at knowing when it's the end times for them. Comfort them in the best way that you can and go out of your way to make them as happy and relaxed as possible. I know it's heart breaking but it is one of the most important duties as an owner to make it as peaceful as possible, I just wish their life expectancy was as long as ours. --- AirFresh - The worst content creator on The FAQs' <cite>AirFresh posted [p:957274309] in My cat is ...

EmbraceOfDeath 08/20/21 5:24:19 PM #14:	Going through the same thing right now... I had to take my cat in to the vet over the weekend because she kept acting thirsty but wouldn't drink her water, and I found out she's in the early stages of kidney failure. They gave her a fluid injection and gave me an appetite stimulant for her, so she has been eating and drinking again this week, but she has definitely lost some energy and has been having trouble keeping her balance. She's 18 and has been with me since shortly after she was born, and I don't really know how I'm going to cope with losing her. At least she's feeling well enough right now that we can still spend some time together the same as we always have, but it has been pretty devastating. --- PSN/GT: BigDaffej <cite>EmbraceOfDeath posted [p:957275263] in My cat is ...

nexigrams 08/20/21 6:23:43 PM #21:	It really really sucks. Especially when you end up being the pet's special favorite that they always gravitate towards. I grew up, while not exactly poor, but certainly not well off enough to spend money on pet operations or regular medication, so any time a family pet got seriously sick my parents would put it to sleep. Had like 6 cats growing up, and it never gets easier. Really sorry. The only thing that ever helps is getting a new pet, the younger the better so they can bond with you. I know you probably feel like you never want to get another pet again at this point, but do it. It'll be good for ya. --- https://imgur.com/SYiqIRC <cite>nexigrams posted [p:957276903] in My cat is ... [t:79623445]...</cite> <quote>It really really sucks.

Aressar 08/21/21 2:05:57 PM #23:	Well, my friend just left (the one who was my cat's human before me). Understandably it was heart-wrecking, but it was nice reminiscing on our memories of our kitty. As for my cat, nothing much has changed. She just lays there, refusing any food, water or treats. All she does is crawl somewhere else every now and then, while I support her. I cleaned her with a towel and warm water as well, as she can't do that herself anymore. I really wish I could just put her out of her misery by having her put to sleep, but as far as I can find, there's no vet in the vicinity that's open in the weekend. Somehow I hope she passes on soon, so she won't suffer anymore. I don't have a backyard where I could bury her, so that leaves handing her body over to the vet. And even though it's a morbid thought, I can't help but think that if she were to die tonight, would there be noticeable decomposition before I can bring her to the vet on Monday? Is there anything I could do to slow that down? I hope I'm just overthinking things here, that my mind is just trying to cope by focusing on practical matters. --- One time, CE triggered me so hard with their objectively wrong opinions that I accidentally punched myself in the balls. <cite>Aressar posted [p:957300516] in My cat is ... [t:79623445]...</cite> <quote>Well, my friend just left (the one who was my cat's human before me). Understandably it was heart-wrecking, but it was nice reminiscing on our memories of our kitty. As for my cat, nothing much has changed. She just lays there, refusing any food, water or treats. All she does is crawl somewhere else every now and then, while I support her. I cleaned her with a towel and warm water as well, as she can't do that herself anymore. I really wish I could just put her out of her misery by having her put to sleep, but as far as I can find, there's no vet in the vicinity that's open in the weekend. Somehow I hope she passes on soon, so she won't suffer anymore. I don't have a backyard where I could bury her, so that leaves handing her body over to the vet. And even though it's a morbid thought, I can't help but think that if she were to die tonight, would there be noticeable decomposition before I can bring her to the vet on Monday? Is there anything I could do to slow that down? I hope I'm just overthinking things here, that my mind is just trying to cope by focusing on practical matters. </quote> ... Copied to Clipboard!
Aressar 08/22/21 5:35:07 AM #24:	She passed away last night. In the morning I found her in her cushion nest, cold and stiff. As I realized she was gone, I pet her for a while and cried. I just brought her body to a veterinary that was open on Sunday. I just feel empty right now. At least I got to say goodbye, as well as my friend who visited yesterday, who was my cat's human before me. Thank you everyone for your kind words. She was the sweetest, softest, cuddliest cat I've ever known. I will miss her so much. --- One time, CE triggered me so hard with their objectively wrong opinions that I accidentally punched myself in the balls. <cite>Aressar posted [p:957323247] in My cat is ...

Occupy_This 08/22/21 3:37:23 PM #30:	I had to put my cat down back in November. His arthritis in his legs was getting worse and I could tell he wasnt comfortable. Took him to the vet for a teeth cleaning and there was something in his bloodwork that worried them ( but they didnt tell me what)When I got him home his back legs were barely working (but he was still eating) However the next morning he was crying because he could barely move so I took him in and said goodbye. --- Sigs are overrated <cite>Occupy_This posted [p:957334962] in My cat is ...

That's sounds like it must've been difficult. Not just because he died, but to make that decision, especially since it was such a specific part that was weighing him down.
