I got the news a while ago about my cat Micky possibly having lymphoma about a month ago. I decided not to put him through the trauma of additional vet visits and have been trying to do my best to keep him comfortable. He just turned 15 on Feb 5.
He has stopped eating and drinking, so I've been syringe feeding him baby food for about 2 weeks. I haven't seen him use the litterbox in a while. I talked with the vet the other day and she said I have to start preparing myself for the inevitable.
After I fed him tonight, I put him back in his bed so he could sleep. And I noticed that he kept trying to get up and walk a few steps to a blanket I have on the floor for him. And then he would try walking back to his bed. He seems to have trouble walking, like I can't tell if he's in pain or if he's just having trouble walking in general.
You guys, honestly, I dont know what to do. I knew this moment would come eventually but I'm so NOT ready to bring him in! The problem is that I just don't know when it's time. I knew with my last cat because she was having too much trouble breathing and I couldn't let her suffer anymore. But with Micky I just don't KNOW!!
I'm taking my kitten Midnight into the vet tomorrow morning to be fixed. I was going to ask the vet to pre-pay for the shot and cremation for Micky because when I do bring him in, I really don't want to have to deal with that part of it. It's killing me. I feel like my heart is breaking in a million pieces. I've cried so much and begged him to show me some little part of the kitty I knew but he doesn't even really look at me anymore. He totally ignores me. I haven't heard him meow in over a month! Just growling at me when I try to feed him. feel like he is mad at me or something.
I don't know what to do! I don't know when's the right time! I'm struggling with this so much and I just can't figure out what to do!
I'm absolutely devastated that this is happening. What do I do???
