Reading these has me in tears. it's finally hiting me that I may need to make this decision for real in the coming weeks/months. I don't post often about my cat, Chow Chow, but his health has been failing since last winter.. He's going on 17. All summer I've been giving him sub-q fluids, which he's now resisting. He's less than half his former weight. But I just can't see myself taking him in on a good day, like many of you, it would keep my hopes up that he still had a few good days left. I know if he became incontinent or couldn't get around it will be time. I've asked him to stick around the house, though, because if he went off into the woods I would always wonder about him. Not really a problem now, I don't let him out much now that it's getting cooler. *sigh* I guess I needed to read this for a reality check. Thanks everyone for sharing your stories. Here's my sweetie-cat:
