Just needed to share with some other cat lovers. My beautiful boy was put to sleep today. He was 13 (so not really that old in the grand scheme of things) and rapidly declined with kidney disease resulting in kidney and liver failure over the space of 2 months. He hated the renal food and I must have tried every one and every other supplement available.
Please be kind. I'm already overcome with guilt that I didn't make the decision sooner, he was still eating, drinking and very affectionate, jumping up in the window and onto the bed until yesterday which is why I didn't.
Yesterday, he wouldn't eat at all, and he was very lethargic, I slept on the bathroom floor with him overnight. This morning he seemed quite unsteady and I knew it was time. It wasn't until he was on that vet table I realised how much weight he had lost. I feel so broken, this is my first experience of pet loss. The vets were great and tried to reassure me but I can't help but feel I could have done more. My poor boy, I am so so sorry 😢..
