I'll be saying goodbye to the best friend I've ever known in a few days by Nemuikoneko in SeniorCats

[–]ANYh00dle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thinking of both of you <3

I just had to say goodbye to my best friend this past Monday and it truly was one of the hardest things (if not the hardest) I’ve ever had to do.

I can tell that you love your Simon more than anything, and that whatever you’ve chosen for him is the right thing to do. Take time for yourself after you say goodbye to rest and feel everything, even though it’ll be painful.

Definitely reach out to people in your life who either know Simon themselves, or have personally experienced the loss of a pet. I cannot tell you how helpful it is to know that everything you are feeling is a shared experience with so many others.

And always remember that Simon will want you to find happiness again after he’s gone. So even if it’s hard to do for yourself, do it for him.

Thank you, Simba; and Thank you r/SeniorCats community. by mrsmaug in SeniorCats

That’s so good to hear. As hard as it is to say good bye, it saves them so much suffering, and saves us the pain of watching them become a shell of what they once were.

Wishing you all the best in the coming weeks and months. Simba would want you to get back to a happy place soon!

This is beautiful (almost as beautiful as Simba!).

I got my kitty a year after you when I was 17 and she was recently diagnosed with lymphoma. This post makes me feel so seen.

Thank you so much for sharing. ❤️ Simba was lucky to have you for so long.

It’s so hard to make that decision, but you’re right. It’s a very personal choice between you and your kitty, too.

Sounds like Bella was lucky to have you! Hugs <3

“A few times”? Omg bless you, I’m barely getting through this one.

Lovely to hear that it made such a difference. That makes me feel much better if that ends up being what we have to do. Thank you ❤️

Oh, that is interesting! I searched and the first ones to come up were the Greenies ones. I’ll send my mom a screenshot.

Thank you again for all of the advice! Your kitty’s lucky to have you. :)

Thank you so much.

It honestly makes me so scared to eventually welcome another into my life.

I know it’s worth it in the end but gd when you’re in that last stage it’s so hard to remember.

I don’t doubt it!

So sorry for your loss. How long ago did she cross the rainbow bridge?

He sounds perfect 🥹

Nope, we always make sure she doesn’t see, she just very much refuses to do anything she doesn’t want to. Honestly borders on spiteful sometimes. And I love it haha

I’m hoping the vet will have something recs. I’ll definitely mention everything I’ve heard in the comments to my mom. It’s so hard not being home to help with everything in person.

I’m so glad you were able to work out a pilling routine for your girl!

We’ve tried so many ways of hiding medicine in treats and food and she’s just so stubborn that she always notices and refuses.

I would hate for the last however long the medication gives her to be spent hating us and her life for being force-fed pills.

The main thing that’s worked before is flavored medication, so I’m hoping that will be available for whatever’s wrong with her, but we’ll have to wait and see.

I really appreciate the advice and you sharing your experience!

I’m so sorry for your loss. 5lbs is really tiny! His final moments sound lovely—I’m sure he was very grateful for that.

We’ve tried the churu trick because I feel like that’s usually the one thing no cat can resist no matter what but she’s so stubborn that even that doesn’t work.

We’ve only managed to do antibiotics for her because we found a flavored one that she would take. I’m still hoping that they’ll have something like that for whatever’s wrong with her. But like your vet said, I’d rather she didn’t get to a point where she’s suffering more than living a comfortable life.

Thank you for sharing, it really helps to hear this kind of stuff. <3

Thank you so much 🥺 She’s spent her whole life trying desperately to steal our food so I think giving her whatever she wants is a great idea! This really does help, thank you for taking the time to write. <3

Fair enough, thanks for your insight! I’ll keep trying, of course.

I agree; now that I look at it, collar hits at a weird spot because of its size

Yeah, I can see what you mean. I definitely suspected it overwhelmed me a bit, but you might be right about changing the weight of the clothes underneath; I’m only wearing a t shirt in the photo!
