I have 2 male cats. Samson who is 19 years old and LoveyLou who is 20 years old. The past year or so has not been kind to LoveyLou. Our vet says that Lovey is not sick, it is the age that is catching up with him. He is not in any pain. He eats, plays and uses his litter box. He loves to sunggle up to you. But he has lost a lot of weight in the past year. You can see his little back bone now. My heart is saying that it not time to let him go yet.He is doing all the things he normal does. But my mind see the condition that he is in and wonder if I am being selfish. I am 40 years old. I have had Lovey for half of my life. I just can't image him not being with me. The other thing is when Lovey time comes, my husband says that he thinks that Samson will not be far behind. Those 2 have been together all their lives. Samson is in good health, a bit over weight but fine.Losing both of them in one year would be a little much. Lovey has helped me through so much in my life. I just want to do the right thing for Lovey. He is such a big part of our family. We love him very much. I know that I will soon have to make the decison to let him go. That day will be one of the sadest days of my life. But I know that Lovey will be with the rest of our cat family that has gone on to the other side. He will be that little black and white kitten that I brought home sitting in my hand bag. Happy, whole and full of play.....
Take care
