In reply to the discussion: My beloved 16 year old cat Mouser is near death [View all]EdwardBernays
(3,343 posts)25. Thank you
I grew up in a family that was pretty irresponsible when it came to pets. So I wouldn't have one unless I knew I could commit to making its ENTIRE life as good as possible.
When she finally died at 2am I was there petting her and talking to her. She really wanted to be able to see the room and so I took her out of her box.. Then she calmed down. She was so weak and helpless but I did my very best to let her know she wasn't alone.
