Busy day @Bow 🩵

Oh @Bow! Don't have words, just hugs. I'm so sorry 🫂💜

Im sorry @Bow 💔😢

Thanks @Eve7 @Jynx

it sucks. Hard to say goodbye

Yeah for sure @Bow. Do you have an appt booked in, is it tomorrow? How are you gonna spend the evening, just hanging out w him?

Yep 11am tomorrow @Jynx

wanna hang with him. Hug him. But he is so miserable he hides. And his in pain. He hisses and growls. 🥺

That's so hard @Bow - to not even be able to give huggles... Makes that 'I wish I could get my pets to actually understand me' feeling so much stronger I imagine hey. And that is 100% cat instinct too - being solitary animals, their instinct when injured is to hide and be alone. Makes it that much harder for us!

Considering he's feeling this scared and angry, I'm thinking this was the correct call to make, even if it was really hard.

Gave him his favorite for dinner @Jynx and no dry biscuits.,, just the wet food. His still eating. I sat there and watched him eat and was questioning my decision. Once he finished I picked him up gently. Held him. He wasn’t happy. Was fighting against me, yet holding on tight. Wanted to hear his purr one more time. 😭 haven’t heard it for a while. He had the loudest purr. But he won’t purr. Put him back down and he cautiously clampers back into the cupboard.

@Bow 😭

I can totally understand the questioning hun. I don't know if you remember I used to have pet rats? I had to put one of them down, and honestly it was a not-too-dissimilar situation - he got unwell, I spent almost $1000 trying treatments and eventually they said they could try surgery, or we could put him down. Such a hard decision, but knowing that the surgery didn't have a high success rate meant I had to make the call.

Like I said to you the other night - there's no 100% 'right' answer in these situations. Even if he's eating, it's clear he's not himself, and that is soooo distressing - for you both.

Aww...can you reach him in the cupboard? Maybe you could make a little cubby house or hidey hole close to where you're sitting like out of cushions and blankets or something - so he can hide but maybe a little closer?

He came out again so I scooped him up @Jynx but not at all happy by it and scratched me so much. So it was only a quick hug.

oh I think I remember you mentioning your rats. That is sad. So hard to have to make that decision.
I was telling my D this afternoon. Explained that cause he has been sick so much and he wasn’t getting better that we have had to make the difficult decision to take him back to the vet and have him put to sleep. I didn’t think she understood that term, so asked if she understood what I meant by that and she said no. So explained that he would not wake up and that he would die. ‘Oh’ and then silence. I think I had a moment then too. Urgh.

what did you do today @Jynx ?
