Question: advice needed on very old cat

[procon]

6. My old kitty was 18 with failing kidneys and the vet suggested

dietary changes. It wasn't a fix, possibly a little reprieve from the inevitable end to his long and well loved life. Maybe it would help, maybe not, but the effects would be marginal at best and the progress of his underlying health conditions would still continue and worse things were ahead.

We opted to send him on over that last bridge, letting him go with the peace and dignity he deserved, cuddled in our arms. It was a heart wrenching decision, but it was my responsibility to do the right thing by my darling companion. All these years later and I miss him still.

You already know what needs to be done. I wish you both peace and grace on the last journey you'll make together.
