Rudyross Posted July 8, 2011 Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 I am new to this site. My vet will be here in an hour, my 19.5 year old orange tabby is ill with what they believe is lymphoma. I thought when I made the appt this morning, I had made my decision. But find as the time is drawing near for her to arrive, I am rethinking. I know I am being selfish. I have had him since the day he was born. Only 6 months ago I had to have my horse put down. I am 53 years old and the horse was the first anilmal in my entire life to put down and now my cat. Why can't they just go on their own? I have cried for days. He just looks up at me and says Mom, I'm so hungry but I can't eat. THank you all for listening.

Rudyross Posted July 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2011 The vet agreed to try a few things to make Rudy feel better and help him eat, which he won't. I am just prolonging this, seflishly, because I don't want to let him go. This is so hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ann H. Posted July 10, 2011 Report Share Posted July 10, 2011 I I don't think you're being selfish. I would see what the Vet can do to help Rudy, as long as he is not suffering. You sound like you want to know you've done everything possible to help Rudy before saying good-bye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
