My old boy is nearly 17. I've had him since he was a kitten. He had a spell of being unwell about October last year. Took him to the vets and he was diagnosed with kidney disease. Given drops and special food. He just about tolerated the drops but would NOT eat the food. I tried a few brands and thought I'd just feed him what he wanted at the age he was. He loved his food. Last few weeks he's been sneezing a lot but still eating and drinking ok. Even giving me the obligatory grumpy meow when I pick him up....... Since Friday he's really gone downhill. Not eating or drinking and nose's bleeding. His nose resembles that of a snotty toddler! And his fur is caked in a snotty bloody substance where is nose is dripping. He's not eating or drinking and is just lying in his bed. My other cat is nearly 18! She's started going off her legs too but still wolfing her food down. Tomorrow I have to take my boy to the vet. I know the vet will agree it's time. Poor boy is all bone under his fur. I feel like I'm condemning him to his death. I feel sick to the bottom of my stomach that tonight is gonna be his last one. Anyone about to give me some advice how to get thru this???? They've both been with me thru thick and thin. I'm s single parent. My friend will come to the vets with me I know I won't be able to hold him while he goes to sleep. I would rather remember him as he was. Does that make me selfish??? My friend said she would sit with him I literally know I can't do it. God I love my cats but this bit is so bloody hard!!!!!
