I can already tell my 17 year old cat is close to the end of his life

For a year now he has been deaf and is starting to becoming blind a little.

Now recently he hasn't been able to walk, and he has been constantly meowing in pain. He seems sick.

Man I really don't want my cat thats been around my entire life to go... He is like part of the family.

I'm sorry to hear that, but I'm sure your cat wouldn't want you to be sad. I'm sure your cat lived a long and fulfilling life.

It is hard to lose any animal, just know that they're thankful for what you were able to provide for them. This definitely puts it into perspective for us.

Thanks guys.

Has he/she passed away yet?
