I had a cat that showed some of these symptoms, and one day he disappeared w/o a trace. I was very sad, and didn't know he would leave like that, but some of these symptoms were showing in him and I didn't know if he was really dying or not. [Edit] well my other cat had passed away a little before Halloween. Rest in peace Lunar. He was a sweet white kitty, and he was so respectful. I hope he's happy to see his brother Mojo again. Rest in peace my boys. 🙏🏻 may God give you all the love in heaven like I did for you here on Earth.

My cat started squatting in the house one day and making weird grunting noises. It looked like he was trying to pee! It was odd, so I walked over and gently used my foot to try and point him towards the litter box. That was when he hissed at me and that was not right. He’s a marshmallow and has never hissed at us. Long story short, his pee was backing up and we went through everything we could to help. One morning, he just looked sick and I knew he was peeing less and less. I called the vet and rushed him over. He had emergency PU surgery. They also found he has heart failure. So now he’s doing much better and he’s himself and not sickly anymore.

When all of my cats were in their last days they all shared one common behavior- isolation. They will find some remote place and hide. Cats always seem to want to die alone.

Please don't panic over most of these symptoms as they are quite normal for most cats. In my lifetime with over 200 cats I've rescued some have been great havachats, sleep most of the day, etc, etc. Some haven't made it to two weeks of age, others have lived past 21. I know when they need to have the vet give them a kind and peaceful way to cat heaven. I had one old girl last year laying in my lap having a cuddle when she chose to pass away.

My cat is more then a cat she’s my daughter she’s my best friend I love her dearly She’s my baby and she’s saved me so many times

My childhood cat, Milo, was always out and social. Towards the end of his 18 years, we noticed he would hide. He also wouldn’t come out running to eat. He lost a lot of weight. Going from 15lbs to just 5. We eventually had to put him down, because his livers were failing. But I will say this, the signs were there. And on the vet table, he was purring. I wish pets could live as long as we do.

My girl was 18 when she quit drinking water. My vet had not yet suggested sub-Q fluids. We found her by the front door that night, trying to get out of the house. Hiding behavior. My vet said she passed at home where she was happy. I don't know about that. She didn't look so happy. I loved her so much.

I had a cat around 10 years ago now that died. He was a loving and protective cat, a Bombay and Persian crossbreed with a white streak on his chest not present in the rest of his litter. He had contracted rocky mountain fever from a white spotted infected tick, we didn't know the signs or the illness before he was too far gone. On his final days his body temperature was through the roof, he barely moved, he didn't groom himself at all, and during his final trip to the vet he relieved himself without warning. We had no choice but to put him down before the illness made him suffer any more pain, the vets told us that the only way he could've survived is if we had taken him there the day he was bitten. He's outlived by his siblings and his mother, who's still alive to this day.

Our Fur Baby passed away over the weekend and we're missing her so much. Rest in Paradise, Petunia🐾❤ You made our lives so much better with every little meow🐱

Our Zmrzlina had squamous cell carcinoma in her throat. She lost weight. Her saliva got thicker and gummed up her fur. We had her lion cut and gave her a sweater. She didnt smell good but she was still friendly and lovey for months. A few days before she was ready to go, she played like a kitten. She was diagnosed in April 2020. She turned 17 that July and wasn't ready until October. We them help her pass peacefully.

My cat is dying of kidney disease and diabetes. I’ve been monitoring his blood, food, stools, water intake and more, and spending hours with him in the mornings, all night and evenings. He sleeps with me. I will probably lose him within the next 12 months but I will know he knows his human loved him. He hides under the bed unless I’m with him. He’s 15. I will miss him terribly.

My boy had some alarming symptoms last month. Not a good diagnosis. Now we're making him comfy and cozy while he still has good weeks left.

'Retire from being your pet'. What a lovely euphemism! Great video.

my cat was euthanised last year. for several months earlier, she stopped eating, was peeing everywhere, she was deaf as a post, slowly going blind, possible dementia, and she could barely meow. she was 22. R.I.P Bandit; you little hooligan. Bast will look after you. her ashes are in a box on my windowsill.

I hope anyone reading this trying to figure out if your baby died because of your neglect, will stop and remember your great love for them, and trust you did the best you knew to do at the time. I’d say it’s a lifelong adventure, growing kitties and always something to learn. I hope, through time, and maybe with the help of another pet, you will ease your pain. And always remember the joy you two shared. RIP little one.

My old lady is 20, and has only shown some weight loss. Changed her to a fattier food and saw improvement already. ❤

I have had cats suddenly become sick before I could get them to a vet or could afford the vet. I just left them alone to let nature work. It is heartbreaking as they try to hide for their final moments

My sweet cat developed a mouth cancer and was too old to justify a surgery to remove it. I struggled trying to determine if it was time to let her go… when she started smelling and stopped grooming herself, I knew it was time. Miss her everyday ♥️

My cat went at the age of 6, she liked to go outdoors and we lived on a dead end street, one day, she decided to venture out to the main road, and at the time she decided to go across the street, I wasn’t even home at the time, and my friendly neighbor saw my cat in the middle of the street, dead, and left my cat in front of the step, in a sleeping position, when I got home, I couldn’t believe what had happened after my neighbor told me what happened, now she’s in my backyard in heaven, may god rest her soul.
