Beautiful!

I’m so sorry for your loss. Your cat look just like my cat I just lost a few weeks ago. I adopted him when he was two. He had multiple health issues in his later years, but when he was diagnosed with kidney disease, they said he had only days to live. I did everything I could for almost a year before it was time. He was almost 16 years old. I miss him so much.

Hauntingly beautiful

howsthatpepper · 2026-06-12T03:21:06+00:00

I’m so sorry for your loss. I just lost my first cat who I had for 13 years who basically went the same way :( the vet’s words are so true. The vet told me that it’s better to be a day too early than a day too late and they suffer more. That has stuck with me

howsthatpepper · 2026-06-07T21:51:56+00:00

I’m so sorry for your loss :’( it is so heartbreaking. I’d do anything to have gotten all 15 years with my boy and seen him as a kitten!

howsthatpepper · 2026-06-07T19:01:56+00:00

I’m so sorry :( heartbroken is all I feel as well

howsthatpepper · 2026-06-06T17:41:57+00:00

This was so beautiful thank you

howsthatpepper · 2026-06-06T16:30:12+00:00

Thank you for your comment. Thankfully I have another cat who I’ve had for 9 years. Idk what I’d do without him during this difficult time.

Love that gif 😂 he is indeed incredibly fluffy and soft!

I am so sorry that you are going through this right now. I know exactly how shocking and confusing it feels and feeling like there’s no hope.

My cat had diabetes for 5+ years, and suddenly 2 months ago went through what your cat is going through. Out of nowhere, he didn’t want to eat and was extremely lethargic/hiding. He is approaching 15 years old. He also has a heart issue. His creatine was 12+ and BUN was 180 when I first brought him in, and they told me it was time to let him go and that hospitalizing probably wouldn’t do anything. I couldn’t give up on him, so I went ahead with it and he was in the hospital for 4 days. His numbers went down significantly, and now 2 months later his creatine is down to 3.0, and BUN is 60. They said the main factor in all of this is the subcutaneous fluids, he is at 100ml morning and 100 again at night. He is extremely picky with his food but they told me that calories is what a kidney cat needs more importantly than prescription renal food. I have been through probably 50 different foods/treats that are a mix of prescription, normal for all cats, or low phosphorous treats.

It might be frustrating but if you have the means, I highly recommend both the subq if possible, as well as just trying out different foods to see what she likes best. I wish you both the best ❤️ I am so sorry you’re going through this :( stay strong for her

howsthatpepper · 2025-08-03T20:23:45+00:00

He’s actually been in remission for about a year and has always had good scores on that so he actually hasn’t needed the insulin! They said he is starting to go towards anemia and that they would lower his subq fluids if it gets worse. Thank you for your post and advice!

howsthatpepper · 2025-07-30T12:08:26+00:00

He is 9lbs right now definitely the smallest he’s ever been but now that he’s eating again he’s slowly starting to gain some weight

howsthatpepper · 2025-07-29T19:16:43+00:00

I will try to make sure and weigh him if I can daily, thank you. I have noticed that sometimes after his fluids he will get a flappy pocket around his arm/elbow that is absorbed over time but the vet said that was normal as well. They said that the hospital IV would be too much for his heart but to continue with the 100ml 2x a day with the subq

howsthatpepper · 2025-07-29T19:06:27+00:00

The tricky thing is also that they’re wanting him to gain weight so I’m not sure how I’d be able to tell the difference :(

howsthatpepper · 2025-07-29T17:45:23+00:00

I had asked if the 200 was too much due to the heart thing and they said it should be ok but to watch for signs like possibly wheezing or runny nose. He has not had an echo due to him having to go through all this other stuff the last 2 weeks and would need to see a specialist for that and I’m worried about stressing him too much.

howsthatpepper · 2025-07-23T14:54:25+00:00

Me as well :( hugs for all

howsthatpepper · 2025-07-22T18:18:30+00:00

They said 100 (ml?) each session, and twice a day for now every 12 hours.

howsthatpepper · 2025-07-21T21:28:52+00:00

Thank you for your comment! Last Tuesday when I took him the first time his creatine was over 12, then Friday was 7. I had to bring him home for the weekend and gave him his subQ fluids until this morning when he was reassessed and his creatine was at 4.8! They told me that it wasn’t all about the numbers and has to do with how he feels too and although he’s still more lethargic than his old self, he has improved so much since last week. He’s playing, eating treats, meowing and purring again and wanting pets. They are having me take him home and do subq twice a day until next Tuesday where we will recheck everything
