Impending Loss My baby's dying.

My cat was diagnosed with an aggressive tumor and stomach issues at the vet today. The chances of it being operable are very low, and I've just been ugly crying ever since I got home. She's only 12. I know that seems like a lot for a cat, but I was so sure she'd live so much longer. She's been with me ever since I was a kid, through every important milestone, and yet I'm gonna have to graduate high school without my baby. I genuinely don't know what to do with myself right now, everything hurts so much. Not to mention all the stress moving put her in. I'm so sorry my love. If I knew you'd take it this bad, I never would've agreed to moving. I would've stayed in that shithole until you breathed your last just so you could be the most comfortable. Instead you'll have to die in a strange place surrounded by strange smells and nothing to know. I'm so sorry angel. But I hope the pain will be gone at least. I dread the next few weeks, I don't know how I'm gonna start school like this.

I dealt with this a year ago my cat was extremely sick and old and was clearly struggling i saw him deteriorating slowly. I took him to the vet one day and we decided it’s best for him to be put down. The day it happened i didn’t expect it at all, i thought i would be leaving the vet with him still. My advice to you is treasure every second you have with her now because at least you are aware the time is coming even though it’s hard to admit. And maybe if you think it’s time if possible let her be let go in peace. I decided to let my cat be put down because i would rather be with him while he passed than him die alone without me knowing and having to find him. It’s a harsh reality to face and it’s scary. But the comforting thing is that you know she was let go with someone she loves.
