I was with her every minute of her last day. She made it to 18 years and her kidneys failed. We are so so sad.

I know that cats often search for a secluded place to die. But I believe / hope it was comforting to have her humans at her side.

Who else has this special experience of being with your cat in the final moments?

Sorry for your loss.

Our 19 year old also had kidney failure, and we spent every minute with him as well. On his last night, the sunset was in every direction, a full 360° sunset. April 30th was his last day and I will always miss him. He was Muteki; he was invincible.
