Hi all. I have been lurking on this board for over a month now since I first found it. I have learned a lot about the proper care and nutrition of cats.
I was informed by my very good friend that her cat is near its end. She doesn't know whether it'll be today, tomorrow or next month. Her cat is 19y/o and suffers from kidney failure for the past year or so. She's weak and fragile, but still feisty.
I need advice on how to help her out during this time. I live in a different city. She has told me that when the time comes, she just wants to be alone for them to spend the last moments together. I have told her I understand.
My question is, what can I do? How do I express condolences beyond mere words? This cat is so precious to her. With all the sadness in her life, the cat has been her saving grace for 19 years. Throughout our 11 year friendship, the one thing I know is her deep, deep love for the kitty.
Do I send flowers? Not call her until she's ready to speak? What's the proper way for me to handle this without intruding upon her during this very difficult time?
