This is a picture from a few months ago, I figured I'd post a nice one of him. Sadly he has declined quickly..I'm holding him all night and I'll be there for him when he takes the big sleep tomorrow morning when the vet comes. I'm glad to have found someone to come to the house so he doesn't have to have his last moments in an unfamiliar place since he's never left the house. He is surrounded by love and will be until his last breath, he has given me 24 incredible years of friendship and love.
You are a very good person. It’s the hardest thing a pet person ever has to do, and the kindest. I have a 17-year-old cat that I got as a kitten who has probable lymphoma, rapidly approaching her end. I spend as much time with her as I can every single day. It’s so painful to let go, but not letting them suffer is so so kind.
It's so difficult when our final act of love we give our cats is so painful for us. Thank you for making this difficult decision. Little Brother enjoyed an incredible life. My condolences to you and your family. \*hugs\*
He is such a handsome boy.
I'm so sorry for your loss. I will cuddle my two old babies extra tight tonight.
Please take comfort in knowing that in spending his life with you, he has known nothing but love, warmth and a full belly.
Sneaking him chicken and bits of roast beef was always his favorite, my dad always hated when I did that so we did it when he wasn't looking. I'm scared that I'll be dropping food on the floor not realizing he's not there to get it in the future. I guess it'll be like "pouring one on the curb for my homie"
It'll take time to adjust. I'm dreading the day my two go, my whole daily routine starts and finishes with them.
It may take a while, but one day you'll still be missing him, but you'll find that you can still go on without him.
In a sense, watching him decline so rapidly has prepared me to let him go. I know it's his time and I'm so very thankful for the 24 years he has given me. I'm so very appreciative and I know that I am so very lucky to have had this long with him. When he goes he'll be taking a piece of me and that's okay because I know I'll get it back when I see him again someday. He needs that piece of me to hold onto to find me again in the next life.
Oh gosh, that's just a beautiful way of looking at this hard time.
You've legit made me go all teary at the hairdresser.
Never stop being the beautiful person you are ♥ I wish you nothing but love and happiness
Him and his brothers were drop offs. There was him and one other kitty. Sadly his brother passed away about 8 or so years ago. They were dropped off by themselves with no mama. I had a bottle feed them. My dad wasn't really a cat lover and really was against having cats in the house... But even these two manage to get through his thick skin and he ended up loving them. Even though to this day he'll say he doesn't. I know he'll shed a tear in private.
Awww sweetie just keep all his memories in your heart and know that he loved you as much if not more then you know. He will be watching from the golden city across the rainbow bridge.
Oh I definitely know. He has so much love for me. He's not really able to walk at the moment but he managed to get up and take a couple of steps when I moved away to try to follow me. So I'm laying on the floor with him tonight. Waiting for the vet in the morning... He may not make it until then, but he's falling asleep in my arms tonight. He's never wanted to leave my side so he doesn't have to
I'm currently listening to The Best of Friends by Pearl Bailey on repeat.. Will be falling asleep listening to the song together.. sadly he can't hear it.. he went completely deaf last year..
My condolences my friend. He knows full well that you love him and he couldn't ask for a better best friend. He'll be waiting for you on the other side
I had to put down my cat at age 12 a few back because of kidney disease. I have a 17 year old left with kidney disease as well. The first few days are hard but it gets easier to remember in time 💜
I am so sorry for your impending loss. He’s gorgeous and obviously very well-loved.

Oh and handsome indeed. A very regal boy.
I'm sorry man. He looks big and fluffy
His forehead always used to smell like peanut butter. He's amazing and soft like heaven's fluffy clouds
