mikeman Posted March 24, 2022 Report Share Posted March 24, 2022 Made the hard decision to euthanize Walter today, he's been going downhill again for the last few weeks and for the last few days has been pissing all over, going in my closet, on my bedroom floor, in the dining room, etc. He would do it in the daytime even if I'm right there and also at night, not very fun to be sleeping and wake up to your boy peeing on the carpet, I weighed him before I brought him in and he was 8 lbs - at one time he was 19. The vet apparently felt sorry for me and didn't charge me, said he was a good boy and a good patient, she mentioned that not many people keep up with diabetic cats for years - I think I've been giving him shots for about 4 years. I took the body and luckily the ground is thawed and was able to bury him in the back yard. It's very sad coming home and packing away all his dishes and litter boxes knowing he's gone. I took a couple final pics of him. You can see by the close up that he wasn't healthy. He was around 12-13 years old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moldoveanu Posted March 24, 2022 Report Share Posted March 24, 2022 Probably best idea no need to torture him Probably was in pain and not feeling good at all every day He rests in peace now and you are now less stressed about it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatrickBateman Posted March 24, 2022 Report Share Posted March 24, 2022 Yeah Mike he didn't look healthy. Sorry for your loss. Had a dream about putting my dog down...more like a nightmare. I'm sure he appreciated what you did for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll prob get another cat but not right away, having a cat with diabetes really sucks, cats are supposed to be low maint, easy to feed, easy to care for, can leave them alone for a couple days with no worries. With a diabetic cat it's non stop special food, special care, insulin, syringes, test strips, vet visits, and you cant take a trip without finding someone to come in and give him a shot - and NO ONE wants to give a cat a shot because it's sounds scary as fuck.
