Thoughts and prayers needed...

My cat Chloe is not doing well. Has kidney and liver problems. Isn't drinking much and doesn't eat at all and that includes her favorite people food such as ham and shredded cheese. Vet has done bloodwork showing the liver and kidney issues and as she is over 20 years old the options are slim to none. Came on really quick this week and she was at the vet Thursday and Friday for an appetite encourager and fluid intake. I have had her all of her 20 years except for her first couple of months as she came from a hoarder that had her and 20 other cats in cages in a basement :( She helped me through the loss of not only a job but both of my parents. She means so much to me I can't even put it down in words. Lots of cats and kittens need homes yes but they aren't CHLOE!! Sigh, writing this down is not being as cathartic as I thought it would and while yes, she is not gone yet I can't even begin to think of life after she is gone. All I know is that really quick after the deed is done that I will have at least two if not 3 cats in the house as the idea of no "pitter-patting" around the house and meows being heard is out of the question.

So, send your thoughts. Chloe and I will appreciate them believe me!
