[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hugs - I love my cats too.  I am not sure I totally followed the sequence of events, but I will say that I am not always sure if aggressive treatment is the best.  Your kitty was not doing well - letting him go through inaction may have been best.

Give yourself time to grieve, but if you continue to be unable to sleep or eat, seek counseling.  [/quote]

I agree with PP. As someone who lost a beloved old cat a few years ago (after what I think of as "skinny old cat syndrome") I'm not sure you could have done much more -- and even if you could have, it might not have been for the best. You loved your cat and gave him a wonderful home, I'm sure. [/quote]

Thanks, my DH and primary vet feel the same. I wish I had decided one way or the other and stuck to the plan rather than going back and forth with treatment options and facilities.  A lot of online advice also misled me and made me switch strategies when time was running out.

Yes we adopted him after he was given up by his owners, but even here I feel guilt that I should have spent more quality time with him. I would have spent 1-2 days dedicated to him if I had know his end was so near.
I had always promised him that before he dies I will give him all the junk food he loves (chips, pretzels etc) but when I tried this on Fri it was already too late, He was moving before ER visit, but he would just come and stare at the plate I had laid down for him.
