It's a sad day

My cat is dying. I've had her 17 years. She can't open one eye and can't see out of the other which is open. Everytime she gets up, she takes a few steps and falls down and just lays there. She won't drink any water or have any food. I don't think she'll make it through the night. I'm totaly gutted, really sad. Long time since I've experienced a passing away in my life.

That really sounds like it's on its way out. Maybe it'll go off to a better place.

Sorry to hear that buddy

Never easy when a pet dies

Nitefly · 19 Nov 2009 at 20:01

That sounds sad, I hope its final time here goes as well as it can.

Sounds like same condition as when my dog of 16 years passed away, completely heart breaking to see them in that state.

So it's going blind, very sad news

Grandmaster Fap! · 19 Nov 2009 at 20:02

17 is a good run fella, all you can do is be there for her.

Sorry to hear it mate. My one of my cats died last year and I was gutted, still am tbh 'cos she was awesome. Thankfully I had a younger cat too who kinda filled the void.

Serious cat is serious

secretspy · 19 Nov 2009 at 20:08

am so sorry to hear that

i know how you feel.

Lost both my boys earlier this year, never nice to see an animal deteriorate like that

I'm sorry to hear that majick

Dark_Angel · 19 Nov 2009 at 20:09

Sorry dude.

magick · 19 Nov 2009 at 20:09

Many thanks guys for the kind comments.

Sorry to hear that

If she's really distressed it might be better of taking her to the vet? They could maybe give her metacam if she's in pain or if there's hope possibly a steroid injection to keep her going to see if she recovers?

It kind of sounds like she's had a stroke. Has she been to see the vet at all?

Inevitable for any pet owner

, just sit by her side thriugh the night and stroke her so she knows shes not alone.

Sorry to hear about your pet, it is horrible when a pet dies.

Stuff · 19 Nov 2009 at 20:11

Sucks man. Maybe take her to the vet tomorrow morning? Having it put down might be the most humane thing to do, as I doubt you'd want to see her suffer

Ziggy · 19 Nov 2009 at 20:15

Sad news.

One of our dogs was put down yesterday. Was in a similar condition.
