My sister's ex-boyfriends cat has been living with us for like 4-5 years since he moved into a small apartment with his family and they didn't have the room for her (five grown adults, a seven year old, two dogs and another cat in a 3 bedroom apartment).
She got sick a month ago and seemed to bounce back but this weekend she wouldn't eat or drink and when we would try to give her water she'd just make this painful cry. We decided to put her to sleep today so she wouldn't suffer (it turns out that the vet was able to feel she had some kind of cancer on her liver because she had lost so much weight). Granted, this is her old age catching up to her (she was 17) and it was definitely easier than coming home from work or school one day and she's laying dead on the couch.
tl;dr we put my cat down and I'm crying and holding onto my stuffed bear because he's my security blanket. This is my life of an almost 21 year old
