Old cat!

[racing_gurl07]

Ive been with her for 18 years, will be 19 in march, its going to be so hard to put her down. but when we do, if we do, i want to hold her when she goes to sleep. My aunt told me that when old cats want to pass awayon their own they want ot go outside so you wont find them, and kitty always wants to go outside now, but we dont let her.

We had a cat who lived to five weeks short of her 21st birthday. She trusted us so that whenever she was ill she got closer to us for the comfort and safety rather than hiding. She let us know when it was time for her to go. After all those years with her it was hard to let her go.

There's no reason to put her down unless she is suffering. Our old girl, Patty, lived almost 20 years. She was extremely lively, mentally and physically, although she had a thyroid condition. Your kitty is very pretty.

Your kitty is lovely. Hopefully you will still have a good amount of time with her. And even young cats have siezures, so as long as she is not in pain, I would not consider putting her to sleep.
