Wesley: Feng Shui. Gunn: Right. What's that mean again? Wesley: That people will believe anything. Actually, in this place, Feng Shui will probably have enormous significance. I'll align my furniture the wrong way and suddenly catch fire or turn into a pudding.

Our wings are not tired.

{{ChiKat}} You know I just went through this with Brandy. The last few times I took her to the vet I expected him to tell me to let her go, but he didn't. The last couple times he told me if I made the call he would not have an argument. The day I made the decision she had fallen three times and gave me such a pitiful look. I knew I wasn't being fair to let her go any longer. My vet told me that her breed was a dignified breed and it wouldn't be right to let her lose her dignity. (he was super funny in describing certain tiny undignified breeds)

I know it is the most insufficient advice ever, but you will know when it is the right time. Ans whether sooner or later it sucks.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

it's so hard to spend every day looking at him and wondering if today is the day, if you're just missing the signs.

This. I keep wondering if I'm missing something or deliberately ignoring something.

We're going to the vet on Friday. I'm actually going out of town for the weekend and I'm boarding him there. Maybe that's a good thing. They'll be able to observe him pretty closely for three days.

Punishingly Intricate

aww ChiKat, that's so hard. There were a bunch of times with my dog Frank where we thought it was the end but when it really was we did know. I hope your vet is able to give you some guidance. It's such a difficult part of being a responsible pet owner.

Thrive to spite them

ChiKat, I went through this with Anna. It was so hard, she was still getting around, but she was losing her sight and her kidneys were shutting down. Finally it came down to just feeling like she was having more bad than good.

ChiKat, the vet should be able to tell you if your cat is in pain. I'm sorry things seem to be reaching their end.

Thanks, y'all. This really does help. I just want to do the best thing for him. I'm just afraid that my own need to keep him around will win out over what's best for him. I don't think it's time quite yet, but I do think it's probably coming soon. I just don't want it to happen at all.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

ChiKat, as much as you love him, I'm sure you will only do what is best for him. That kind of love means selflessness, not selfishness.

It's so very hard, ChiKat. I hope the vet can give you some guidance.
