Venting Just waiting for my cat to die.

Anyone else? Once she goes, I go.

 

[Poor Stargazer]

Same, she is all i have and all i care about. She is the only reason i am still here. I totally relate to you. Animals > humans

 

[Dominicka]

Yeah, some days I don't think I can hang on anymore, theni look at her sweet face…

I probably would have gone years ago but I had to see the cats through. I lost the last one unexpectedly in March. Since then I've been making my preparations. I admire everyone who chooses to stay alive for their pets, because our pets depend on us and I took that responsibility seriously. There was a terrible situation in my neighborhood where a cat was discarded after the owner passed away and that was just never going to be part of my story.

 

[Smart No More]

Yeah, I've spoken about this quite a bit on the forum. I just can't leave my cat that way. It would be too cruel and traumatic.

 

[Tortured Existence]

My cat is the ONLY thing that has stopped me, but he's young (I wasn't contemplating suicide at all when I adopted him), and he literally could be around another decade or more. I can't imagine being here through next month, and I doubt I can make it another year because my health is rapidly declining. There are days when I can't care for him properly because my pain is so bad.

They're all so innocent. Like @Smart No More said, it is cruel and traumatising. For me, it's also hypocritical.

100%. My cat is the only blessing I've gotten out of this life. I remember I went away for a week and my mom told me he wouldn't stop crying. So I know I have to stick this out for him, and I'm pretty sure when he passes, that would be it for me.

 

[Euthanza]

Sometimes I get jealous with cats and dogs. They have short life span, loved just by existing and euthanized when they need to.

If you have rapidly declining health, then your situation is different than, say, mine. Are you able to get in touch with any local rescue groups who might be able to give you leads? I've heard of arrangements where the cat has care lined up for when the owner can no longer provide care.

 

[Dominicka]

Good point, @euthanza. I'm disabled. It shouldn't be this hard to go.

My cat is 12, hopefully it won't be long, but it could be another 5 to 10 years, who knows with cats? I have my SN, anti-emetics all ready to go.

Bless you x
