Oh dear Kristin, my deepest, deepest sympathies. May you have every and ALL the supports you need during this difficult time. And blessings on Byron. You have given him so much.
We use the latest in scientific technology and state-of-the-art weaponry and you, if I understand correctly, poke them with a sharp stick.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister
Oh damn. I'm sorry, Kristin.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I'm so sorry, Kristin. But when you get around to reading amych's "for later," I've something to add. We trapped TC, a feral, more than a week after whatever trauma had snapped his entire rear foot off at the ankle. The wound wasn't closed, would never have closed on its own. He would have died. Other than the trauma, he was completely healthy, so we had the leg amputated. Socializing him was far more fraught than him learning to live on three legs--and he was well past kittenhood. He's done amazingly well, and he enjoys his life. They adjust amazingly well and fast--better than their humans, usually.
All good thoughts to you and your kitty.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Oh, Kristin, I'm so sorry. All good thoughts going out to you and Byron. It's so difficult and fraught facing these decisions for a creature so utterly dependent on you and so unable to understand what's happening or why. Vibing you wisdom and love in abundance, dear.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
So many purrs and ~ma for you and Byron, {{{{Kristin}}}}.
Also lots of peace~ma for Scrappy's whole family and healing, pulling-through, miracle~ma for her niece.
