Losing a dear friend soon

After about 18 years give or take; I am sad to say that I'm about to lose my feline buddy.  He has been with me through some really tough times, was there when I had many a dark moments.  Loved things that rattled, wanted to curl up under the sheets with me when I slept.

Like many good friends, you have your great times, your arguments, times when you couldn't stand each other and then later on made up and formed a stronger bond.

Had the odd ability to brush off problems on his own.  Had gotten fleas twice; things to try and help with that wasn't working.  And give or take a month or so, they'd be gone; no explanation.  Had bladder stones, illnesses...all he managed to get over with little to no medication.
(Mostly due to me living check to check, I couldn't afford the insanely prices.)

Though I knew he was reaching the length of his age a year ago; he still had plenty of pep and energy.  Despite being deaf and constantly battling his body with dehydration.

These past few months, however, has been a deep decline and now...we're here...

It's the hardest part that I knew was coming eventually, but never was going to be ready.  I'll have to bid him farewell.

Unfortunately this is going to result in a steeper decline in my activity for a while...

I'll be back at some point, but for now...I need to grieve..

So sorry to hear this. It's so incredibly hard to lose our friends. Rest easier knowing that you gave him a great life right alongside his best buddy, and when it comes time to give him that final act of mercy, it comes as an act of love. You earned your right to grieve, and you should do just that. Take as long as you need and reach out if you need to talk or vent or reminisce.

i'm so sorry about your kitty :(

here's one way to look at this decision you have to make

you've been a great friend to him and he's had a wonderful life with you

but if his health is in decline, letting him go peacefully would be your final act of kindness to him

it will never be an easy thing to say goodbye to your best friend, even though you know it's for the best

but for now he is still here, so please cherish every precious moment you have left with him

Oh no! I am so sorry to hear this.. losing a pet is awful, even if its doing them a kindness in their old age.
I have bittersweet memories of that little rascal tearing all the keys off my laptop.. he will be missed. ♥
