Needed-advice about Cleo....
13 Answers
She has not eaten at all in the last 3 days-yet she is still alert and purrs when cuddled. I can honestly say that I do not think she is in any pain,and I don't think she will last too much longer.My daughter and I have discussed it and we both feel that if she is not suffering,it would be best if she went "naturally"...ie-let nature take its course. i really don't want to stress her unnecessarily.....Please,my friends-can you advise me?

You know Cleo better than anyone and I bet Cleo will let you know when she's had enough. If she is not showing any signs of distress then I see no reason why she shouldn't just carry on with what life with you she has left , enjoying the love and perfect care you are giving her.

oh what a terrible time for you, they say owners know when the time is right, and honestly you will. If you dont feel she is in in any pain, I think you should carry on giving her the love and cuddles she wants at the moment. Try tempting her with some pilchards in tomato sauce, that was something the vet always told me they used on cats that wouldnt eat. Or some turkey? god bless xx

Oh, dear pastafreak - I do hope little Cleo's still OK. When my old cat, Cleo was near the end, she just wanted to be near me and have lots of hugs. I, like you, felt that it was better she "went" naturally, as I felt she wasn't in any pain either. She stayed at home with us and on the morning she died, she sat under her favourite chair, dosing and then she "chirped" at me (you cat people will know what I mean) and I went and picked her up and she lay in my arms and purred and then just went to sleep. I think she would have wanted it that way. Ten years later and I have another little Cleo - just as mischievous as the old one and with an equally loud purr. I swear she's Cleo come back to me!!
