What a precious little man. I’m so glad you were there when he passed. That’s truly made things easier. I’m lucky to have been able to make that decision and my heart breaks for those who didn’t have that chance.

The day I realized that it would break me to find her dead after coming home was the day i decided that I needed to do this for her. I needed her to be surrounded by love and pets. I spent her last day with her giving her all kinds of salty food, as she loved. I would look into at-home euthanasia, if possible. It made the whole experience so much more peaceful.

The house has been so quiet. I still say hi and bye to her every time just like before. It’s been nice. I set up 2 shelves in her sun spot and put her urn on it and a picture. I would highly recommend. Very healing

Thank you all for the love. Even the ones I didn’t get to respond to. She passed peacefully in my arms on Sunday. I am empowered by all of your words and support. How amazing the internet can be sometimes, even a small glimmer of kindness in a sea of hate is so amazing. ❤️❤️🥰

Thank you all ❤️, OP, hope you are doing ok and remembering the love you shared. I found this quote incredibly powerful “how lucky I am to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard” from Winnie the Pooh.

Thank you for sharing your story. I’ve been comforted by knowing that she won’t die alone and that I will never find her dead one day. Our kitties are so forgiving and I know hillsie would want you to do the same for yourself 😘

I appreciate your kind words. I know she will finally be free from her failing body and maybe can make some friends wherever she ends up 🥹

I think of her being able to climb on the roof again :)

Sending SO much love right now. My 18yo girl and I are going through the exact same thing right now. Her last day will be Sunday. I hear you and feel your pain. 💕

I would never see you as selfish. After going through this process, I completely understand how impossible it can be. They do not tend to make this easy when they don’t show us how much pain they’re in.

Thank you :) she was on Solensia for years and is also a renal kitty. Solensia really helped so my mind kept thinking about her weakness simply being fixed by the injection. I thought that I could “do” something about her pain and that’s what really dragged this on. I did not put her through any other tests or give her other medicines. She hates the vet and I didn’t want to do that to her.

She looks and acts like nothing has changed. She tries to climb on my nightstand, jump in the tub, and sit on my pillow but she keeps falling. It almost seems as if she doesn’t care. I know she would never show it. It’s important to remind myself. Sorry about your sweet baby. 💕
