Older Cat Traumatized from Hospital Visit

Hi - sorry, I was just thinking out loud. I know I'm the only one who can answer those questions.

This may help if it hasn't been posted already/ you haven't seen it already; also, many feel that one day too soon is far better than a day too late.

Does your vet have suggestions regarding someone who does euthanasia at your home? In any case, you might contact one or two of them and ask for their advice.

that's the best advice I've read - thank you and thanks for the link. I think tomorrow or Friday will be the day.

Thinking of you.

Thank you so much for checking in, but it’s with a heavy heart that I let you all know that Houdini crossed over. It was definitely time. I had a nice last day with him. He snuggled on the couch with me for about an hour then he laid on the floor, where he was more comfortable, just a few feet away until the home euthanasia vet arrived. He passed away peacefully and pain-free in my lap. It was the best goodbye I could have asked for under the circumstances. Just taking the time now to grieve. It’s amazing how such a small being can leave such a huge void in our life. Thank you all again for the support and well wishes.

Bless your heart for being so caring and kind.
