Tia

Another life is coming to an end here. There's that pressure to make the right decision, and the mind games are horrendous. I truly believe the last act of kindness is to help them along with dignity and not let them suffer for hours or even days. Better a week too soon than a day too late. But of course knowing exactly when is so hard. It's not as cut and dry as people say, they don't always "Let you know," and with two people you need to always agree on the decision, sadly that is currently not the case here. 
Tia has hardly eaten all week, other than bits and pieces. I've tried everything I can think of and she won't have anything in any sufficient quantity. I refuse to force feed an old cat and last night for the first time in 15+ years she has left me alone to eat my dinner.
Tia has not been taken suddenly ill, she's hasn't passed out or developed a new illness. She has been fighting an illness for almost three years and has fought it bloody well, but now she is an old cat and her system is slowing shutting down, there is no going back, no recovering .. decisions need to be made. Whether it's today or the next day for the love of the animal it needs to be made.
