My Cat Has No Will To Eat or Drink and Is Very Weak

Thank you for all of your words, I now accept that she must die and is
going to die and no longer feel depressed. Does anyone know if heart
failure is a painful way to go or is it quite fast?

Amen. When I had Alex euthanized in August, I was there with him the
whole time, and I felt *so* much better knowing that he died with me
holding him and stroking him and telling him that it was okay to let
go. The greatest kindness that we can do for our pets is to help them
to leave when it is time, rather than making them suffer until they
die "naturally", IMO.

It *is* a kindess. When we had our beloved cat euthanized, the vet stroked him,
kissed him on the head and said, "It's a shame we can't do this for people." I
wholeheartedly agree.

I was once advised by a cardiologist at a vet teaching hospital that
heart failure can be painful and it is much kinder to euthanize.

Now that I think about it, putting her to sleep is for more than just
the pain. It would be quite loving to put her to sleep as Amy doesn't
sleep much anymore (I assume she is sleeping some time), instead she
lays around on her side with her eyes open staring blankly.

Ian, I'm so sorry. Putting Amy to sleep is truly the compassionate thing
to do if she's suffering. You obviously love her very much, don't feel
like you're betraying her. I'm so sorry.
