Rest in peace my baby

Before I got to thank anyone on my post a few days ago, I had to make the most painful decision to let my baby Chaka go on Tuesday afternoon. Unfortunately, he declined so rapidly and his organs weren’t able to sustain him and I had to rush him to the vet after finding blood in his stool. We made the decision to put him to sleep after determining the medication and diet changes werent helping as he could barely stand or make it to the litter box. Everything just happened so fast and I wish I had more time with him. I regret not spoiling him with his favorite treats before he went and I feel awful for that. I hope he knows that he was so loved and how much his existence left such an impact on me and my family’s lives. 17 years is never enough time, I wish I could spend an eternity with him. I wish I could hold him again so bad and hear him purr one time. We watched each other grow up and he was always there despite life always changing so rapidly and without forgiveness. Thank you my baby, thank you for everything and I’ll never forget you. I love you so much and I hope you loved me just much too. I’m grateful that in the last months of your life you always chose to be in my room and on my bed and it was such an honor to have you by my side. I’ve been on workers comp for the last few months and I see it as a blessing in disguise and allowed me the time to be with him as much as I could. Until we meet again, Chaka bear. Please wait for me on the other side.

My 17 year old boy, Chaka, was diagnosed with CKD 2 weeks ago now. He’s been given so many different meds to keep him stable but now the decline is getting kind of severe. Since yesterday, he’s been stumbling while he walks, not finishing his renal care food, and missing the litter box a lot. The only thing is that he still has the desire to go outside and sit in usual spot in the backyard patio. I wonder if he’s suffering a lot and I don’t want to prolong that pain but at the same time he still wants to go outside and he’s been extra cuddly lately. I’ve always heard when a cat knows it’s time they’ll start hiding. I’m just not sure what to do and it pains me to see him like this when he used to weigh more and be so full of life. But I don’t know if he still has the desire to live. I dont know what I’d do without him.
