Hey!
My question may be a little strange but I thought I would ask it anyway.
I do not know yet if I will be forced to put my five-year-old male cat to sleep but if I have to… How will I manage to see him die or let him die?
I cry day and night for fear of having to do it and I do not know how to deal with it.
Do you have any suggestions? It feels like I’m letting my cat down.
My other cat is a female cat and four years old.
I absolutely do not want any more cats after them.
I would not be able to go through something like this again.
Do I make the most humane of putting her down at once? Please help.
I feel really bad about this.
Does a cat suffer when it is put down?
Does it feel like it’s going to die?
How can I see my cat lying there and look at me before he falls asleep?
Hi Marie!
I myself have had to put down a cat this summer.
My cat was 13 years old and suddenly became ill. I had no other choice.
The vet came to my house and we had her put to sleep in the garden at the place she loved. But even though I tried to make it as nice as possible for her and the vet was wonderful, it was a hard decision.
So there is nothing that you can do without feeling bad about it.
If a cat knows that it is going to die, I can not answer.
But that it probably understands what is going to happen, I think.
It’s so irreversible. I knew that my cat would not make it, but it was very difficult to make that decision.
So if you can solve it in some other way e.g. relocate the cat or keep it anyway, it’s probably the best thing for both yourself and the cat.
