@CloverReef Know the feeling.  One of my cats has kidney disease, it’s a one way thing, diagnosed about a year and a half ago.  Vet suggested more and more tests, and I did push back, with, “will this change the prognosis?  Or help?”  Based on the litter box, I know it’s progressing, that his time is limited, but I’ve had a warning, I’ve tried to make sure that he’s generally happy, and dreading that final day, but it won’t be as big of a shock as that first one was, because that first one, I wasn’t expecting, it was basically out of the blue to me.  A side effect was that I had already had to start considering the burial vs cremation decision on the sick cat, pros and cons, so I did have a small head start when I did have to make that decision for the unexpected one.

Yay!

That’s so sad, @Desiderius Price. I lost a cat to kidney disease last year. It was very sudden and ugly. Just one night she was her usual self, knocking shit off high places and enjoying terrorizing the dog, then the seizures hit and within one minute, she was suddenly, a weak, fragile little thing. Learned a lot about the empathy of my other animals that week. I feel for you. <3
