i think my baby girl (19 years old) might be on the way out, she's been unwell the last few days, not eating or drinking although she will take a bit of rainwater if I put it in front of her nose, she's sleeping all of the time. She will only drink rain water, I have to leave lots of containers out in the garden to collect rain - spring water or tap water are always refused.
I did think her back legs had gone but she was downstairs last night and upstairs this morning and has used the litter tray.
She has chronic kidney disease and has survived countless medical conditions since she was three years old. I have never know a sickly cat survive so long.
She is like Lazarus, resurrected but more than once. She was at deaths door three years ago but survived and a few years before that.
I took her to the vet yesterday to ask if it was time but he advised to wait a few more days and give her pain killers just in case she's in pain, she doesn't seem to be just very very tired.
I know her time is coming soon but I can't bear it. This is cat number 8 and I can never understand how we can survive the pain of losing them.
