Blessed vibes to you and Kisuke's spirit. I am glad you had many years with him @op.

I wish I could level with this, but there's def a point to get a vet involved, and it's WAY before it's this bad.

I'm so sorry for your loss, regardless of his age. Grief is a terrible thing and I'm sorry for what you're going through.
He looks very sweet- all my boy cats have always been so gentle and sweet.

sorry for your loss
DeVermisMysteriis
I don’t know the situation, so I hope I don’t sound accusatory or preachy. But, please do not let your friend suffer. You owe him that
SithShodan
What a distinguished old gentleman. ;v; My thoughts are with him, and with you. I just had to say goodbye to mine..my DMs are open, friend.
KnowGoYesStopWin
When they stop eating and moving, it’s time. Don’t let them suffer slowly.
Kittynomnoms
Mine let me know by standing up and just... Walking off my bed, hitting the floor with 0 resistance. Could not walk after. Had to let him go
JackieTreehornProductions
as someone who let this go on too long, yes - please don't do it to them or you. Read the signs and do the right thing despite the pain.
CitrusGrenade
I know someone currently letting it drag on. I want to slap the shit out of them.
PickleForBreakfast
Strange how most show this compassion towards pets, but not humans
Assisted suicide has been gaining traction now, other countries already practice it.
I'm actually in the second country to legalise it, but whenever other countries report on it they make us look like villains
Most do show this compassion toward humans. The difference is that hospitals won't let you for fear of lawsuits and religious persecution.

Just made the choice to ease our old girls pain today. I've been crying all afternoon. It was right. But it hurts. Love you Kiki.

Kiki will be pushing things off of the rainbow Bridge until you meet again.?
Thank you.
gluttonygreedpridewrathslothlustenvy
I've got two, both almost 16. Hard to see them diminished, hard to be objective to decide when it's time. Not long now.I'm thankful & afraid
It is. Love them every day.
vakler
While harder on you, perhaps euthanizing to cut short drawn out suffering would be a kindness. He's beautiful, thank you for sharing him.
TheMadOnion
Death with dignity, something we as humans are denied often.
YeOlRazzleDazzle
We did this with 2 of my childhood cats when they lost all motor function in their old age. It was truly heartbreaking, but I'm glad 1/2
I got to give them a wonderful, loving last day, knowing it was coming. -- And knowing they loved me and I love them no matter what. 2/2
ImahumanIpromise
And be there. Hold them, pet them, talk to them. Don't you dare leave them alone.
Gonnaderpya
Had to for my cat last year. Likely had bone marrow cancer (had half of his blood cells...) And he had a deformed heart. Took 3 vets to 1
Finally get him looked at because he wasn't displaying symptoms when I took him to the other two. Finally took video of him basically 2
Zoned out and confused. Final vet was amazed how strong he looked but said he wouldn't even live another week 3/3
Kieralynh
Lap of Love is a national in-home euthanasia service that is worth every penny. Especially if you have multiple pets.
ToastedVanilla
This is a tough decision. Can't exactly ask the cat if it wants to live a little longer... I could never make the decision in time...
Obviously nobody but the owner can make the call, but I've been here and had to do it. In my eyes that cat is ready to go.
I read further and saw they made the call. For what it's worth, I think it was the right call.
Sarah1987
I did this with my 14 year old cat when he was in kidney failure. Brought my other cat with us for comfort and so she understood he was gone
I stayed and held him and pet him through the entire process. Then my husband took me to Starbucks after to cheer me up. Went through the
Drive through and my deceased cat was in a burial box on my lap. Cheerful Starbucks guy at the window “how’s your day going so far!?!”
I looked at him and said “well, we just euthanized my cat.” His face and the situation made me and my husband laugh. I needed it. Starbucks
Dude was super empathetic. I told him he helped cheer me up so to not change his approach to customers. We still talk about it.
We had just left the vet, he has passed. Thank you for everyone for their support and kind words.

21 is an amazing age, and I hope with all my heart that both of mine live such long lives, and feel as loved as Kisuke must have.

If it's okay, I'd like to share with you some words that someone said to me when Vince, my Great Dane died. I am so glad that he was as 1/
Loved as he clearly was and that you got to share so many years together. And I am so sad at the pain and loss you must be feeling right 2/
Now. But I am even happier for that scared, lonely soul that you will bring into your life and on whom you will heap all the same love 3/
You held for Kisuki. When you are ready.
