My cat had not eaten in two days I think. Today I made a very small steak for myself and tried to give her the tiniest bites and the juice, she loves the juice of meats. She ate the meat about a tablespoon full and licked the juice/plate clean. Is she just not wanting cat food? I wonder? She has turned her nose up at the Whiskas moist pouch stuff chicken flavor her favorite and also the Hill special diet from the vet for kidney problems, she ate it when we brought her home from the vet and the next day, just a tablespoon at a time throughout the day. She is still drinking and using the litter box on her own.
I was wondering if it was time to put her to sleep. Before she ate today. I was *trying* to talk to my husband about it, I said to him, it is going to be a hard decision to put kitty girl to sleep, and he had said to that, pulling the plug on my dad was a hard decision, putting a cat to sleep is not.
I was not trying to put the cat in the class with his dad, but before she ate, I am trying to figure out when is it time? I do not want her to be in any pain. She is sleeping all the time, or laying down awake *trying* to look at you. She is blind and almost 14 years old, if you have not read my last post.

Just catching up on reading. I'm so sorry for your kitty. I believe you will know when it's time. ((Hugs))
I'm very sorry to hear about your kitty. They ARE part of the family aren't they? They give us unconditional love and are there to rub their faces against us when we're having a bad day! I will keep your kitty in my prayers.
I am so sorry about your baby. It's so sad when they get older, and they get older so quickly. It breaks my heart.
Please check my blog - I think I may be able to cheer you up just a little. :) Pet your baby for us and know that we're praying for both of you.
I am sorry to hear about your baby..I just put my almost 18 year old to sleep 2 weeks ago today..he had kidney failure and quit eating..for the last 2 weeks of his life he was only drinking and licking the sauce and on his last 2 days wanting to go out side and started meowing..we knew it was time as his quality was gone and I didn't want to see him in pain any longer..he had lost so much weight..he was a fighter till the very end..but we could tell it was time..and I knew once we did..his pain would stop and he would be back with God and in perfect condition...it was hard..but I knew he would be happy again..We miss him with all our hearts but know we will see him again someday and he is in great hands again and with his siblings..I posted my sweet kitty you may have to scroll down to older posts but you will see him...You will know when its time...What a sweet person you are for being in her life..
Hi there...I just noticed you are following my blog. First of all I am so sorry about your kittie that you love so much. We have had many, many animals over the years that we have had to "put down" and it is always very hard. You will know when it is time. How I gauge it is...what is their quality of life right now and is their anything else we can do for them? We've put down a dog we had for years that got cancer...another one had conjestive heart failure..a cat that was hit by a car and badly mangled...a cat whose hips were displaced (born wit it) and couldn't walk anymore...on and on. They were all extremely hard decisions...we cried...we had a nice burial for them on our property and we still think of them often and miss them. On a lighter note, I see you are a John Prine fan!! I love him too and play some of his songs on my guitar! The more I read about you the more I see we have a lot in common. I am 2 years older than you. I am going to try to click to follow your blog now after I finish writing this. Thanks for coming by mine!...debbie:)
Thank you all for such wonderful comments, I appreciate the love and compassion you all have given me for my wonderful girl Elkie.
