I have to agree with this. If she's not eating, things are not going to "sort themselves out" and she would just suffer while you were gone. Like you say, as bad as the idea of having her PTS is, it would be the kindest thing to do for her right now, especially if the person you arranged to care for her won't do more than feed her.Quote:

We are so sorry to hear the sad news about Zsa Zsa.
Its the one duty that we have to do for our companions, and I dread having to make that decision for my Older Cats.
We are praying for Zsa Zsa, and you.
I'm late to this (as usual), but please know that you and Zsa-Zsa are in my thoughts and prayers. I'm so sorry your sweet girl is fading.
Even though it is the hardest thing you will ever do, it probably is the kindest and most loving gesture you can make for Zsa-Zsa.
(hugs) to both of you........... :(
It is not an easy decision that you must make. The last thing in the world did I want to do was to put our dear Ralph Syracuse to sleep in June. Sometimes the cat will take that decision out of our hands, but most of the times, we have to decide. It is so sad to watch a beloved friend decline or suffer. You will do the right thing for Zsa-Zsa. Will say extra prayers for you both!!! TAke Care!!!
I am sorry to hear how Zsa Zsa condition if not improving, i had hoped it would, may you be at peace with whatever decision you make, and know that it will be the right one for her, take care and Hugs at a very difficult time for you.
OMG....I am so sorry that I am very late in posting too!
This must be a terrible decision for you and your family. My thoughts go out to you at this time.
All our fingers and paws are crossed for you & Zsa-Zsa.
WOW.....COTD! we have another movie star on our hands! :D :cool:
Prayers for you and Zsa-Zsa on the way.
This is so sad. I don't know what I'd do if I had to choose to put my cat down!
I mean, obviously it would be for the best if I did, but to actually choose to kill your cat would be horrible. I suppose I would have to, in the end, but it would hurt every step of the way, i'm sure.
I have a pretty big imagination, but even with it I dont' think I could get a whiff of what you're feeling unless it actually happened to me. Which I am glad it hasn't, but I suppose that if you are a person with pets in your life that you will inevitably have to go through with the death of a beloved family member.
I'll be praying for you and Zsa-Zsa with all my heart, and I truly do hope that things work out for the better.
Prayers for poor Zsa-Zsa.She must be in so much pain with ulcerated eyes.It's so hard to see our babies get old.
I think today is time.
There is no improvement with Zsa-Zsa's condition. She had a little drink, but hardly anything, she gulps funny and I think she's dehydrated. I have her in this room now sleeping next to me, and it breaks my heart to watch her sleeping. I think her eye is hurting her now as she doesn't want you to pet her head and she sleeps with her head turned across her back as if she doesn't want weight on that side.
She cannot live like this.
Gentle hugs and prayers for Zsa-Zsa. I am so sorry for you and your family. This is always such a difficult time.
Take care,
Betty
I'm so sorry things have not gotten better. :(
You are all in my prayers.

Oh Zara, I can't believe I hadn't noticed this thread until now. :(
My stomach feels almost sick at the thought of not seeing that beautiful girl around here anymore...
Good thoughts for you and Zsa-Zsa, I know you will do only the very best for her.
Oh Zara i am so sorry {{Hugs}}. Zsa-Zsa and your family will be in my thoughts.
{{{{{hugs}}}}}}}} and prayers. It's hard-decision-making time. Whatever you do, may it be for the highest good of all. Poor ZsaZsa; sounds like she's getting ready so say goodbye :( So sad and so hard. Gentle hugs and kisses all around.
