Bought some of this today…
I was hoping to get something I could inject but was told that wouldn’t be legal. I can see that. But apparently if I give Azar two of these “when his time comes” then he’ll be so drowsy that he won’t know he’s on his way to the vet’s.
I also bought some wet food hoping that might pique his interest a bit. And then picked up some asparagus on the way home.
Now I’m going to bed early because these days that’s the only time Azar will come out from under the bed. When he knows I’m there lying down and ready to give him a cuddle just how he likes it. He also lets me feed him in bed. Little weirdo. Well, whatever it takes. Even getting up for 3am feedings.
Because it’s not quite his time yet.

Give him a warm cuddle for me. The two of you are so lucky to have each other. You are both in my thoughts.

Thanks. I think of him hiding out under the bed all day, barely eating or drinking, and think that isn’t any sort of life. But then when he comes up to cuddle at night and looks so happy…
He seems to find the other cats threatening now, especially Loki, so when we are both out I set up his own feeding station in my bedroom, and a second litter box. That way he can be on his own and have everything he needs.
One day at a time.

I think of you and Azar very early in the day every day, and I often wonder if he is having a good day. A sweet old cat may well be the most love-deserving creature on the face of the earth and I am glad you are thinking ahead to make everything easy for him.

I like the thought of you thinking of us. After buying the knock-out drugs I did feel a bit calmer myself. Just making sure I’m doing everything I can helps.

Was going to respond to the earlier post but decided to do it here. Azar is lucky beyond measure to have you, and to have had his life with you – in whatever way cats can be conscious of such things he must know this, please don’t torture yourself. However hard it will be, I know you won’t let him suffer beyond the point where it would outweigh the quality time he still has left.
As you said, one day at a time.

Azar has had a great day today. It’s still super HOT out there and I didn’t feel like repeating yesterday’s foolishness of going out in the midday sun. So the aircon has been blasting since noon and after I managed to get Azar out from under the bed (a stressful process, but once he’s out he’s quite happy) we’ve spent the whole afternoon with him on the sofa, bringing him treats and making sure he gets regular drinks of water. Also steamed some asparagus for him…

Always such a pleasure to see him chowing down on the asparagus (or asparagrass, as my niece used to call it). A few scratches behind his ears for me, please?
