Oh Dawn.  I've just seen this.  My heart goes out to you.  Truly it does.  The feeling of emptiness is unbearable I know but you know you did the right thing by Tilly to let her go.

RIP beautiful darling angel.  You were so very much loved  :'( :'( :'(

Dawn  I'm so sorry.  But you have your girl every opportunity which counts for everything.

My heart  aches for you.   Tilly will be a huge miss.  Nothing we can say will make any difference but I hope you know we're with you, and we wish Tilly a safe journey.   Xxx

she is quiet but gets very lively when the cooked chicken comes out of the fridge, I think when that stops I'll know - she is doing the stairs herself which she wasn't before she was admitted to the vet and still potters in the garden a bit

I appreciate all the support I am getting here  :hug:  only cat people understand - nobody here as asked "are the cats still alive"

he is a bit happier with her at the moment, she is responding to him well and likes being fussed by him (she has never liked being fussed by me!) as she is so up and down it changes hourly what we think, I imagine that if she seems withdrawn for more than a day that will be time

It certainly isn’t called an emotional rollercoaster for nothing unfortunately. Sorry you don’t feel like you have a good relationship with your vet, it is so crucial in times like this. What does OH want to do?

we still see bits of the old tilly, and weirdly (and thankfully) she is getting down from the table to use the tray to poo, she is eating felix, chicken and ham (yes I know) but frankly she can have what she likes as far as I am concerned, oh is still trying with the renal heated up but he has more time to do that sort of stuff so I'm happy for him to give it a go - I don't think it will be long but we keep on

Dawn, only you and OH will know when the time is right, today she sounds as if she has picked up for a little while.

When Trouble stopped playing was when I decided his quality of life had gone, he played almost up to the end, not for as long, and it was nore up close and personal, things that tickled his paws as he couldn't really see very well. I don't know if that helps or not, but Tilley still seems to have a sense of mischief. :Luv:

she has moments frances, apparently she jumped out from behind a bush in the garden at oh this morning -he is with her more than me as I work so I have to be guided by him I just wish we had a vet we had a relationship with rather than feeling each is pushing an agenda she did a bit of running last night (she has always only done two speeds asleep and fast) so that was nice to see, she ate very well last night as well but this morning only picked

Oh Dawn :hug:.  I have to say I agree with Desley about your vet and Tilly’s quality of life.  However, you and OH are with her and we are not – if she still “being Tilly” and not in distress then day by day is the only way to go.

that was my thought too desley, tbh we are taking it day by day, oh is convinced they just want to keep her going so we have to pay for another blood test, I'm not that cynical yet but as most of you know we lost amber is a very destressing way and I swore that would not happen again

couldn't get to pah at lunchtime, traffic a nightmare due to nato summit in local posh hotel - who would believe it

I’m not sure I’d agree with your vet, it’s clear her quality of life is deteriorating if she doesn’t want to come down off the table to toilet. Yes you could live with her peeing, but is it fair on her?

thanks Liz, I'm popping out to PAH at lunchtime so if they have some I'll pick it up, typically I had some knocking around for years and got rid of it a few months ago - I appreciate your input, its hard to know what is right, on Saturday I was sure she was ready but on sunday she was on hind legs scratching the plum tree which made us think she wasn't

Dawn vet bed is the best thing for this situation if you have any it means the wee doesn't stay near the skin, we had HRH on it for a year till she decided it was time to go to the other side, did save the couch as well, can you sand the table and re varnish x

She will let you know when it is her time x
