I was with her every minute of her last day. She made it to 18 years and her kidneys failed. We are so so sad.
I know that cats often search for a secluded place to die. But I believe / hope it was comforting to have her humans at her side.
Who else has this special experience of being with your cat in the final moments?
My 14 year old cat has ckd and my biggest fear is that I won't be there when she eventually passes. Since I've adopted her when she was 8, she hasn't been too friendly with other people or animals besides me, so I don't know who else would be able to give her comfort when she has to go (knowing of course, that's not usually cat behavior when they get close to death).
And I just want to make sure she feels loved until the very end.
