My 17 year old cat has had cancer for a while now. He can't weigh more than 3 pounds now. He used to weigh 12 pounds when he was healthy. He hasn't eaten at all for two days and doesn't want to drink.

I would never have waited this long to have him euthanized but my younger son, 20, is in complete denial about this poor cat. He is going to be very upset with me .

I'm taking my kitty tomorrow at 8:30 am for the euthanization. I will be able to stay with him the entire time and bring him home after.

I am going to tell my son that I am taking the cat to the vet to see if anything can be done for him but to be prepared for the worst.

I can't stop crying! He's a part of the family. This is just so hard but I know it's the right thing to do. Say a little prayer for us. Even my husband is crying which is unbelievable, if you know his history.
