My poor old puss is giving up the ghost. She is nearly 21, and has gone downhill in the last few weeks. She is sleeping most of the day on her chair. Will she just go quietly or should I have her put to sleep? She is very ill, but does not seem to notice. I stood on her paw a couple of days ago and she didn't even flinch. Have read through other threads, and I know it is the last act of kindness we can do for them, but I can't bear to think of the vet putting a needle in her, there is nowhere to put it, she is just skin and bone. I keep thinking, just one more day. This is her life, and the only one she has got left. Every morning I wake up hoping she will have gone to sleep in the night. But she still clings on bless her. This morning I was convinced she would be dead, and then I felt guilty for not having been with her.
Bloody animals!
