Oh, Cloudy, my sweet, beloved, striped friend. Our adventures together, I fear, are coming to an end. Cloudy (15, kidney disease) continues weight loss, etc. Vet to call me to discuss next steps. As is, Cloudy has a presumptive final vet appointment next wednesday. Maybe we’ll get more time.

Thank you. Me too. And a well timed, easy transition to his next existence is part of The Great Compact even though it is never the fun part.

Thank you. He’s a good kitty and I am going to let him do whatever he wants for the next week. And maybe we still have some time left.

Sending you hugs and strength. It’s such a hard decision even when it’s clearly the right decision. 💔

Thank you. He’s a good kitty. The best life we can give them & the easiest and best times transition to their next existence that we can arrange.

❤️❤️. A good death is the final gift we give them. It’s the promise we make them when we adopt them. It’s also a really hard thing to do and never gets easier in my experience.

Thank you and me too. The back end of The Great Compact (best life I can give him, easiest transition to next existence I can manage) is the least fun part and still important.

Sympathies. I had to do this recently. Its the painful side of the intense, but significantly shorter, lives that these delightful furry bags of knives and love have. Its not, or shouldn't be, a casual or easy decision, but at the same time, when its time, its time, and then the grieving can begin.
