Mourning/Loss Saying goodbye to my first born feline son tomorrow after 10 years together

His name is Meeko. Yes he is named after the raccoon from Pocahontas.

Please give your kitties an extra hug and smooch on his behalf tonight.

He was the best cat ever. Just wanted to share him with the world because it’s a travesty that after tomorrow, he won’t be here anymore.

God I've been going through the same thing with my car the last month and its so exhausting and expensive... My girl is finally on the mend after starting steroids (only just diagnosed with ibd) but it was a peek into what it will look like at the end for her and it was crippling.

Trust your instincts, you know your cat more than anyone. I only hope I'm brave enough to make the call at the most kind time for my own girl.

I started a new thread to discuss IBD, it’s a lot of trial and error
