    It's never easy to let go and say goodbye. You will know when you need to do this. I feel for you, Tim and Fluffy. I'm very near if you need anything.
    Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) is a full management plan in which stray and feral cats already living outdoors in cities, towns, and rural areas are humanely trapped, then evaluated, vaccinated, and sterilized by veterinarians. Kittens and tame cats are adopted into good homes. Healthy adult cats too wild to be adopted are returned to their familiar habitat under the lifelong care of volunteers

    I have to agree with everyone here. Making that decision is the hardest thing to have to do. My prays are with you and Fluffy.

    Hoping that Fluffy is feeling better today. Are the appetite pills working? As long as he is resting and is peaceful, as someone else here said, you can be pretty sure he is still comfy. Gentle hugs to Fluffy, and big ones to you and Tim. My thoughts are with you guys...

    Thank you everyone very much.


    This is a very hard time on all of us. Even Yoshi & Lucky are very mellow today. Fluffy has this 'smell' on him, and I think we all know what that is.

    Today is worse than yesterday......he is eating some, but not nearly enough. He isn't drinking either. He has a new problem today - like he needs something else . His hind legs are not working. He will struggle to get up, move a few feet then plop down. His front paws go outward, too. I don't know if his arthritis is acting up, or he just doesn't have any more strength left in him to move
    Then a few minutes later I walk around looking for him and there he is - jumped up on the kitchen chair HOW did he do that??!! When he got off the chair he just ploped down and stayed there for a while, he also howled when he got down - I think he might have hurt himself.

    This is so hard, one minute he is moving around (just barely) and the next he is passed out sleeping in a very strange position - like he just got up on the bed, and that was all he could do. When he sleeps it is VERY soundly.

    He seems to be sending me mixed messages - or maybe I'm just not getting them correctly, I still don't know what to do. Maybe I am just too selfish and keep thinking he will get better, he is just having a bad day today.

    I'm struggling with taking him in today........for the last time.

    Oh...my heart goes out to you. Please take care. I am sending you & Fluffy a cyber hug. You will know when it is time. Fluffy will communicate somehow to you, and you'll just know.
    I love Fenway, JoJo, Olivia and Nonnie!

    I'm so very sorry.

    There is no easy answer and the most painful one needs to be done. I know you don't want to say goodbye but you don't want Fluffy to suffer, either. Believe me, I know how hard it is.
    Cuddle and comfort him as much as you can. When you have to take the decision, know that he will be thankful that you relieve him of his pain. He has had a good and long life with you and will always be in your heart.

    Big (((((hugs)))))

    Gentle hugs and prayers going out your way. I've been in your position and it's the hardest decision to make. You WILL know when it's time. It sounds like it's close. Be gentle with yourself. I still miss my Goldie and remember those final moments before she went over the bridge. {{{{{{{{{Fluffy}}}}}}}}
