Domestic cats seems extremely predisposed to kidney failure.
I wonder if its the environment, their genes, or the low-quality food we feed them... |

| sorry to hear that krypt...I'd feel like crap if I lost my baby girl. Cats really do become family members after a while. I hope your vet has some good news tomorrow. |

| I dunno, Sleazy is probably the better side of 15 and going on 16, every year I sort of watch him turn into a complete vegetable through winter, wont go anywhere, eat much or do anything except curl up somewhere warm. Come spring he wakes up out of his coma, staggers outside for the first time in about 4 months and runs off to impregnate girl cats. |

+1.. it frightens me to even think about it.
losing a pet is never easy, no matter how long they've been around for. i've lost a few cats in my lifetime and it is always heartbreaking... but when they're sick or getting too old it's important to do the humane thing and let them go so they're not sitting around wallowing in misery and pain.
it's a tough decision, i know. i watched a very close friend of our family let their cat get to a point where he just really should not have been alive anymore - i mean he couldn't eat, use the litterbox, walk up stairs, etc... and they basically had to lock him in the basement because they didn't want to put him down. finally my mom forced them to do the right thing, and as sad as it was to know that he was in kitty heaven (i grew up with this cat - we were good buddies) it was a relief to know that he wasn't sitting around in some basement all alone and in pain.
Krypton - Sasha and i send our best wishes and a warm cuddle to get you through your hard times. :) |

I'm sorry to hear about your cat.
My wife's cat of 10 yrs had to be put down last year because of leukemia as well
The poor thing would not move, barely eat and had sores on her paws and mouth
The vet recommended to put her to sleep so that she wouldnt hurt anymore...it's the humane thing to do.
RIP Smokey |

Political question:
Why is it "humane" to put down a pet, but "inhumane" to put down a person in a condition like Terri Schaivo, who can only live artificially? |
