Thank you for your kind words I have been down this road twice in less than a year as I had to put my 17-year old Pepper down last October, but unlike poor Cleo who went downhill too fast, I knew for some time that Pepper was on her way out and was able to give her a few really happy months...

Animals are one of the great joys of our lives. Many of us go through life accompanied by at least a few loving pets, and each one of them shares a special place in our heart. However, there's always that one single pet that stands out over the rest... the one that is truly special to the point...

Thanks everyone for your help and kind words. Cleo went downhill very fast yesterday evening and overnight. She was near death and visibly suffering all night and the vet said it was time, so I put her down this morning.

Thank you guys, I appreciate it Unfortunately I'm not as optimistic today as miss Cleo has had a rough day. She had a pretty violent vomiting spell earlier in the afternoon and seems pretty down again, and she's been missing the litterbox this afternoon. In general she's lost a lot of weight...

Thanks everyone; we're taking things one day at a time right now. Cleo looked like she was bouncing back on Saturday but then went downhill in a hurry again on Sunday and looked terrible. She had finally taken a few bites of her own food on Saturday afternoon but then on Sunday I woke up to...

Hi folks, I am looking for feedback on if anyone knows anything that might be able to help my ailing Cleo cat. She is old (19-20, don't know her exact age) so it just may be her time, but she is truly one of the special ones and I want to try to bring her back to health if I can. After seeming...

I have a cat Cleo who will be 19 years old come January. She has always been scared of the world, hiding from just about everything and everyone except me. I think she's in ok but not great healthwise; she has good days and bad days. There are times when she won't do anything but sleep all day...

Thanks so much everyone, the kindness means a lot to me. I wish I could hold her or even clean up the messes she left in the kitchen one more time but she is at peace now... and is probably rubbing someone's ankles as we speak.

TY so much all for your advice. Things seem to be going ok so far. I have been giving her lots of attention and sleeping on the couch where she sleeps instead of in bed at night, and I got her a new toy that she seems to like. I think she has caught on that the other cat is not here anymore but...

Hi all, I just found this site so I hope I picked the right board for this. I just lost my cat of 17 years yesterday. I have another cat who is probably somewhere around 18-19 years old, and those two cats have been together most of their lives before yesterday. I don't think my surviving cat...

Pepper (1993-2010) I have never posted here before but I'm so heartbroken over my cat's passing that I've felt the need to memorialize her in what ways I can, so I came across this site. It was always an adventure having Pepper as a cat. She was always sticking her nose into stuff, making a...
