minsocal Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 I have a cat, now 18 years old. Several months ago, he seemed to have given up on life. I considered putting him down, he was that "bad off". Then, I thought, just make him comfortable. Ease his way. So I cleaned his head twice a day, combed him out ... and then I realized he was "down" because he could not do this for himself. It did not matter if I did it for him, he just needed to be clean. Well, he is still here. Cranky, as always. As healthy as an 18 year old cat could be. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soma Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 It is nice and you are a good listener by just being yourself. Your cat loves you and gave you a great experience on your journey together to an even greater experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
