I'll be fine and able to put it out of my head, bc my cat is just laying there like she always has, a kitty loaf sweetie..and then, just now, I see

her licking her tumor and it is bleeding. She has been sticking to mostly one comforter and it rarely oozes, so maybe I am an idiot..but I didn't want her uncomfy in her final days..and didn't want to put her in a diaper. She isn't lethargic, and she is eating and drinking, seemingly in no pain..so sometimes I can dissociate and fool myself, but I am going to have to put her down. I don't know if I can do this on my own y'all 😭😭😭

Is it possible to get a home visit when the time comes? The only thing that made it bearable for me was doing it that way.

It's a hideous thing to need to do however it's done but at least if you can get it done at home it's easier for her. Might be worth asking your vet if they'll do a home visit.

@AntisocialTroll yeah she did tell me about the home visit option. I am going to call them and see how much that costs. I have been so depressed, i havent kept up with the bouse like i should..so I have been remedying that this morning..hopefully she can at least enjoy a cleaner house before she passes, and i wont feel embarrassed if/when they come.

@foldedunfolding honestly I wanted to recommend this too but I hadn't yet worked out how to bring it up.

We had to put our old lady kitty down a couple summers ago, and the kitten we lost in March- both were at the vet office and I really truly wish I'd have had someone come in to our home, no matter how much it cost. Both kitties got a little stressed just going in the car to the vet and I wish I could have avoided it. If I had to do it over and someday hopefully in the the distant future when I have to say goodbye to our current kitties, I'm going to have a home service. A girlfriend has done it with her dog and cat and it was far less stressful for all of them.

According to my friend, her home service wasn't much more cost at all.
