I also did the subcutaneous fluids on my cat for a few years. Once the needle was in, we made it our bonding time. I would just sit and pet him and he would purr. It's not at all difficult because the skin is loose enough to easily get it in. It doesn't take more than a few times before you are both comfortable with it. His quality of life was as before.

I am so sorry for your family's loss. {{Hugs}}
Please do not feel guilty. Cats are very good at hiding illness. Once you knew your girl was seriously ill, you made the most selfless, kind and loving decision for her that you could.
She was a beautiful girl. You and your family are in my thoughts as you grieve her.

I'm so sorry about your kitty. My in-laws just had to put down their 17yo dachshund yesterday. It's so hard to lose a pet.

I am so sorry. We just lost our kitty right before Christmas. Such a deep hole. I still look for him to be under foot.

I am so sorry. I will have to make the same decision soon for one of my kitties. Your baby was beautiful.

dulcemama, I'm sorry you had to make that decision for your kitty. Cats are known for showing their symptoms when it's too late to do anything to help them. One day they seem fine, maybe a little off, and the next day they look all raggedy and ill. She was beautiful and I'm sure you gave her a great life.

Thank you all for your kind words. It means a lot to know that others know how it feels to lose a beloved pet. It's so odd that even though I am thinking of her all day long, I am also not completely used to her being gone.

I felt guilty when mine passed, too, from a heart condition. I kept wondering if I had paid closer attention, whether I would have known. As time has passed, I realize that there was no way I could have known - it's just a reaction we have to the shock of the loss. I'm so sorry.

Oh, I'm so sorry. I'm going through the same with my 14 year old doggie now. Not to hi-jack your thread but she was diagnosed about 10 days ago. At present she is on one med and kidney diet prescribed food. I am just starting to prepare some home cooked food that was recommended but really it is just postponing the inevitable The vet said 3 to 6 months and if my dear Marble continues to eat well, I hope for at least that. Please don't feel you failed, cats have a great ability to 'hide' illness until it is too late. Over the years, two of my cats have died from kidney failure. The first one was like your kitty and went very quickly, the second lingered for many months and honestly, although you wont feel it now, it was better that she went when she did. My heart and thoughts are with you, again I am so sorry.

I am sorry for the loss you your fuzzy whiskered friend. One day she will be waiting for you to pick her up to take her to heaven with you when you, too cross the Rainbow Bridge. She loved you with all her might. You loved her with every ounce of love you had for this family member who wanted nothing more to curl up and purr on your lap.
You took good care of her her entire life so bless you for being a best pet owner ever!!!
