I found out yesterday that my cat's kidneys are failing and he's slowly poisoning to death, vet says he only has a few days left, if that. How can I make sure he feels loved in his last days?
He won't eat anything, not even treats. I have to feed him via a syringe so he gets some nutrients.

Why are you torturing him by keeping him alive?
>>2231618
I think its unfair to end their life before their time
>>2231620
Yet you're feeding him through a syringe. It's obviously his time; you're just making him suffer because you're selfish.
>>2231621
Maybe because he's my first and I can't bear to let him go
>>2231622
No shit. You're keeping him alive and letting him suffer for selfish reasons.
You can't stand the thought of letting him go but making him suffer doesn't bother you.. you shouldn't ever get another pet.

Of course it bothers me, I've been a wreck just trying to comprehend the gravity of it all

Sorry bro. Same thing happened to my little guy about two weeks ago. He will become very miserable and it is best to have him put to sleep so he doesn't suffer. I know how you feel about it being unfair (feels like leading him to the slaughter) but when they get to the point where they are no longer eating they are suffering and it's time. Much love and God bless.
I know that you really care a lot but you should really consider putting your friend down. Animals don't really have the consciousness to be able to say enough is enough it's all up to you to manage his pain.
That being said, we all know people that would rather bleed out slowly than be put down before"their time". That view alone requires a human consciousness deeper than just live/die. Your pet doesn't have human morality and it doesn't have goals other than spending time with you and not hurting. Do the hard thing and put him down for his sake. It doesn't make you a bad owner.
The only time I could schedule is this upcoming monday at 3...

I used to run dialysis patients to their appointments. Trust me. Renal failure makes you feel so shitty you want to die. Your friend wants to die. I promise you. It sucks. Your doing the right thing though
