My cat, Sammy, is almost 19. The last year or so, his health has really gone downhill. He's peeing outside the box, is constipated, and dehydrated even though he drinks water constantly. He has also lost a lot of weight even though he's been eating normally. He hasn't been as affectionate and doesn't sleep with me at night very much anymore. All he seems to do is eat, drink, and sleep in his little cat tent. The vet said his liver and kidneys are in bad shape. I could bring him in for a few days for some IVs, but in a couple of months he could be right back where he is now. I had my other cat put to sleep a few years ago and it was very traumatizing. I don't know if I can go through it again. I'm 30 years old and have had him since I was 11...just the thought of being without him is agonizing. I guess I just want someone to tell me I'd be doing the right thing by putting him down....any advice would be appreciated.
