don't you wish we could do that for our elders...
Yes, and I'll bet many of our elders wish we could do that, too.

Now that I'm paying attention and out of denial by going public, I'm noticing that she's having trouble getting around. I always thought she stands at the stairs for a few seconds before going up because she forgot what she was going to do. Now I realize that it probably hurts to climb them. She just hesitated before jumping up into her bed, which is about a foot off the ground.
She's an old lady.
So I'll make the call today and get it over with. No real sense in prolonging it. I just always figured she'd go off somewhere when she was ready to croak over, but she doesn't go out anymore when it's chilly. And I REALLY don't want to just find her laying dead.
heck, I've heard about Claudia for so many years I feel like I know her... You are a good cat mom...Friday at 12:30. I feel a sense of relief.
The only other time I had to have a cat put down, he was a only a few years old and had feline AIDS. So it was awful and traumatic. This isn't like that - it's time for me to be responsible and call it a day for her. She's been a good cat and had a good run.

Thanks, you all, for helping me make this decision.
Is it cheesy to have your animal cremated? I did that with my dog and have a box urn in my office.. I think I would do the same for my cat.

I love your sensitive side.
Naw... that's not cheesy... this is cheesy...Is it cheesy to have your animal cremated? I did that with my dog and have a box urn in my office.. I think I would do the same for my cat.
I really don't like the thought of her just being...disposed of.
