Such a shame 
Thanks for everyones kind words. It'll be tough to get over him, but he's brought us a lot of joy, and us him hopefully 
.
.We were wondering if it might be ok to get a kitten/young cat in his last month or so if we can keep him at home, or if it would upset him. Not sure yet.
25th of August, we've been together over 3 years now; the last 'mistake' is quite a long way in the past!I'm sorry Platypus
On the plus side when did you get married? It doesn't seem 5 minutes since you broke up with your last GF. My word time is flying!

Sorry to hear it, just had my dog put down a week ago after 10 years together and it's a heart breaking thing.
My cat is now weeing blood all over the place again so he's going back to the vets tomorrow Just can't win at the moment.

That is a real shame to hear Platypus, far too many of these threads popping up as of late .
Hope you and the Mrs cope and get it through it ok.

Is right!It's been a bad couple of weeks for GD pet owners.
Sorry to read of this platypus, I really am.
At least you had him for a good while.

Gutted for you mate
Just make sure his last days he's comfy and not in pain.
Don't leave it til tomorrow mate, Vets now.
A cats bladder can rupture pretty quick unfortunatley.
There should be an Out of hours emergency number for your local vet.

I missed the comma

Ok we're really not sure what to do. We brought him home last night with some steroids which will help his kidneys and - according to the vet - make sure he doesn't suffer any pain. But naturally he's still moping about and feeling sorry for himself, drinking loads (good) but not eating much at all (bad). Then there is going to be the trick of getting him to eat the steroids..!
Should we just say our goodbyes and then let him go? Or give him a few extra months - we've been told he'll have a good few months on the steroids, and feel no pain.
It's natural to want to hold onto them as long as we can, but I'm really not sure if we're being fair to him.

That's a really difficult situation, platypus. I don't envy you.
Maybe just keep an eye on him for a few days and if he starts eating well and takes the steroids then give him those extra few months, and use them to properly say goodbye.
If nothing improves, though, it would be best to let him go sooner.

I would have to agree, if he is in no pain stick with him, who knows what might happen?
If things start getting bad, or you notice any change then you will know what to do.

I hate to be a bearer of bad news but how will you know if your cat is in pain, both of my cats had serious problems before they died, and nither cried more often or showed outward signs of pain, if i would have let them carry on... i dread to think of the pain they would endure if thier innards popped or just the consistant pain they cant show you.
