    I totally understand - and you are doing what is totally right for Max.

    As Sandra said - some yummy liquids might be just the ticket for dear Max.

    {{{hugs}}} to you and that dear woolly kitty!

    Everyone has to make their own decisions based on their pet and his/her needs and personality. No judgments here, that's for sure. I'm sad to read that the subQ's aren't going well but you've done your best. Your love for Max shines through every post. I wish you many happy and peaceful days w/Max yet.
    Blessings,
    Mary

    I would do the same thing if it was one of my boys! You love him and don't want to torture him. That is completely understandable. You could try adding some tuna water or even just plain water to his food. As long as he gets liquids in some way, he should be okay. I applaud you for putting Max's feelings ahead of your own. It takes a lot of love to do that!
    Proud to be a crazy cat lady!

    As hard as it is, this decision comes straight from the heart. He will live his life out as God intended, and you will love hiim now and forever.

    Prayers to you both. {{{{{HUGS}}}}}

    I totally understand your decision and would have made the same one if it had been an option for me with Taz. It's really not worth the stress it causes to Max. As long as he is comfortable for the time being then all is well.

    Hugs to you and loves to Max.
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

    Yes, Medusa said it quite well. Max knows you love him, and now he knows you want the best for HIM. I know the remainder of his days will be happy ones and I hope he has many many many more days left for you to spoil him rotten. This is never easy on anyone, so why make it more difficult for both of you? {{{hugs}}} to you and gentle smoochies to Max.
