[quote:Factual Error:MV8zMTM1ODQ5XzU1OTYwNzMyXzczMUU0QTM5] I know what you're going through, OP. My girlfriend and I had to have our cat put down a few months back. She was 20 years old and couldn't keep any food down. Going to the vet was one of the most emotional things I've ever been through. Brings tears to my eyes just thinking about it. RIP Bubba-cat.

Adopted him 4.5 years ago from the shelter at 8 years old. His name was Aspen, but I called him Bubba-cat half the time. We've been through diabetes and insulin shots 2 years ago but he went in to full remission.
Just this February I took him to the vets as he was losing weight. He was diagnosed with congestive heart failure. He took the meds in pill pockets great for the first 2 months, the last three weeks just refusing (no matter what we tried to hide them in).
I'd taken today off (thankfully). Woke up at 7:30 am to see him breathing hard and heavy, had him to the vets by 8:30 and was home by 9:30 without him. It all happened so fast, even though we knew it was eventual.
My Mr. Wonderful is away in NY on a trip with his brother so had to do this on my own. I actually am OK with being alone right now. Numb as hell though.

Rest easy, bubba-cat.
