My 18 year old cat, Ashley, got lost Sunday on the way from the bed to the couch. I had to rescue her when she got wedged behind the cat tree. I live in a 1 bedroom apartment.

She's Deaf, she has arthritis, and she's now almost blind from cataracts. And yes, that is a diaper on her, because she doesn't move to go to the litter box, just when she smells food or wants cuddles.

Her final vet visit is set for this Thursday, 10am, Arizona time.

Well, the deed was done Thursday. The vet agreed it was time after a very short evaluation. My boyfriend and I held her and pet Ashley as she died.

I still have 4 other cats at home. They all seem happier so far. Ashley growled at all of them because she couldn't see or hear what they wanted any more. Sad to say that 2 of my other cats just wanted to groom her, but Ashley wouldn't let them.

I love my pets -- I've had many in my life. I sympathize and empathize with you -- it is a very difficult thing. My thoughts are with you on Thursday.

I'm sorry to hear that. Last summer i had to put down a cat that I had had for 17 years. It isn't easy, but she won't be suffering any longer.

So sorry to hear this. Give sweet Ashley a cuddle for me. Hugs

I’ve had to do this several times. It’s not easy. Hang in there.

I'm sorry you are going through this hurt.
Remember the good times you've had together all those years.

Poor little thing ?

We feel your pain, we have all been there. It is, in fact, losing a family member. Knowing that you are doing "the right thing" is little consolation. It makes us want to believe in both a doggy and a kitty heaven.

I'm so sorry. My girl is 17-years-old with diabetes and cataracts. I dread that final vet visit and hope it is still years off.
