I was with her every minute of her last day. She made it to 18 years and her kidneys failed. We are so so sad.

I know that cats often search for a secluded place to die. But I believe / hope it was comforting to have her humans at her side.

Who else has this special experience of being with your cat in the final moments?

I had one pass away at 16 from liver failure. Held him in my arms at the vet while the final shot was done. That was years ago and I have tears in my eyes thinking about it now.

Wow, powerful love, sorry for your loss.
