so true Margo - but there will be howls of wrath at that statement!!
I just had to put her outside. She seems to be losing control of her bowells and I can't follow her around with paper towell and carpet cleaner. Unfortunately I think I think I'll have to take the vet's advice.
What was the advice, Wilso?
Do you think there's no reasonable quality of life left?
Requires quality for both of us though. She seems reasonably content, but I live alone and can't devote every minute to caring for and cleaning up after her. I have enough trouble keeping my house clean as it is. I'm working 12 hour shifts for the next 2 days another four the week after, and I can't leave her inside during that time.
Yes, sadly I see. And you can't leave her outside to cope in her condition, poor old thing. How very, very sad, Wilso. I'm so sorry.
so sorry
has it made you think of having another cat(s)? they really are lovely companionable animals and very good for depression. Rosie does himself a world of good.
Wilso,
Sorry about your cat friend.
Sam
For the last several weeks she's been waiting for me at the front door when I got home from work. Today there was no sign of her. I put her food out, and had to go out. I've just come home and it hasn't been touched. I don't think she's coming back.
that's so sad, I hope she just died peacefully in her sleep somewhere - or better, comes back, not knowing must be horrible.
Wilso do think about another cat. Himself's depression is so much better since we took in Rosie. They make you smile, laugh and are so warm and comforting when you are down. (I shan't mention the making you cross, exasperated ....)
I hope she comes back, too, Wilso. Poor thing. I feel so sorry for you both. At least you're making her last days more comfortable.
Wilso ~
You and Kitty are in my thoughts. It was such a kind and selfless thing you did to befriend kitty. Believe me, she knows you were something special.
Best to you Wilso.
Food sat out there for 24 hours untouched, so I'm sure she's gone now. If she did die, I just hope it wasn't under my house!
Any sign of the cat, Wilso?
Nope. Put her out last Wednesday morning, and I haven't seen her since. At least if she died I know her last weeks were comfortable.
And that is a damn fine thing.
