My cat

[fastneasyTossout]

I would feel horrible ctbing in front of my cat who is 12 years old. I have had him since he was 8 weeks old.. and I have no family to give him to. I fear he will suffer tremendously more after I depart.

I'm the same way. On one side I feel like it would better for her to know I died rather than just gave her away because I didn't want her. It would be really damaging to her as she was a stray that I took in from a load of strays. She wouldn't go near humans or let them touch her but she came to trust me. Nobody else could care for her properly. We're friends. I can't do it to her so I'm waiting until she's passed before I ctb unless something really forces my hand. I don't think it will. My issues for ctb are health related and I've been doing a bit better lately. As your pal is heading into his teens do you think you might be able to try and last him out. If not then maybe contact some services that can properly be ready to take care of him once you're not able.

Please give him to a no kill shelter or try to find trusted individuals. You do NOT want to CTB infront of your cat as there have been many cases of pets actually eating your body after death.

absolutely this. also, it's better for your cat to be given away than to starve or have to resort to eating your corpse.

I would like to stay alive for my two senior kitties. The thought of leaving them behind is too much. Like others have said; try to find a good place for him if you decide to ctb. This must be so hard, I'm sorry you find yourself in this predicament.

I hope that if you decide to leave this world your cat is somewhere where he is well cared for. I wish you relief from your suffering.
