Last night I put my beloved cat down. Over the past few years, she was having strokes and in the past 6 months, they became more frequent and way worse. Christmas Day when I came home she couldn't walk and was crying, she would lie on the floor contorted. She wasn't eating or drinking and couldn't move at all yesterday. Just laying there and vomiting and twitching. She wouldn't respond to sounds and seemed blind. This was her fourth one in the last month and each time her episodes got worse I couldn't stand to see her suffering, so I put her down. That's no way for anyone to live. I miss her a lot but I know she isn't suffering anymore.
A bit of background, her strokes would progressively get worse. She had trouble walking and would fall over occasionally when she wasn't having any. Her personality seemed to change, she became less and less like herself. The Christmas stroke lasted much longer and seemed so much worse. I figured it was her time. I feel awful that I had to put her down. I know she isn't hurting and struggling anymore, she's comfortable now and I'd like to believe she's in heaven.
