In reply to the discussion: We had to let our cat go tonight... [View all]gwheezie
(3,580 posts)37. I'm very sorry for your loss
One thing I figured out after decades of living with cats and dogs. A dog will tell you it's sick, it will put on a dramatic performance that you can't avoid. They yell at you, damn it I don't feel good and what are you going to do about it. A cat doesn't want to bother you so hides it. You say to your cat, you feeling ok, ya look a little sick. Cat says what this, it's nothing. When they let you know many times its to say good by. I'm not saying it's too late to try, and I try everytime but when they don't want to eat they are real sick. You tried and you did the right thing.

My cats live to 18 or 19, too, and as the time comes, they stop eating as well.
