Today we're putting down our oldest cat, Eddie. He's 15-years-old and he's been declining steadily over the last few months. It's time. I don't want him to suffer

Thank you. The shelter was closed today, so he's going to be put down tomorrow. Which makes it worse 'cause I had come to terms with it this morning and then to see him...yeah. At least two of my other kitties caught my "I'm sad right now" vibes and were especially cuddly with me today.
Oh, I'm so sorry to hear that, honey. I know it's an incredibly difficult decision, one I had to make for my cat a little over a year ago. It was one of the worst days of my life, I can't even describe it. The worst part of it was seeing him pick up a little bit after I'd already made the decision, in that last hour before I took him to the vet, seeing him want to interact with me after weeks of withdrawal. I so wanted to call it off, it was one of the sweetest and the harshest hours I can remember, but I knew in my heart that it was the right decision, that he was in so much pain... I second-guessed myself for months and months afterward. There's no easy solution for that.
I hurt so much for you that you're going to go through that tomorrow. Try to hang in there. I'll be sending positive vibes towards you, honey, for what it's worth. I hope things go as gently as possible.
He's a gorgeous cat. I'm so glad you had so many happy years with him. *hugs*
OMG, BB. :( This is horrible and I know it must be really hard for you. I went through something similar with my dog over a year ago. Just... *HUGS* D;
