Please give me reassurance that it really was my Cat's time.

Hello there,



I'm truly sorry to hear about your loss. It’s never easy to say goodbye to a beloved pet, and it's natural to seek reassurance about the timing. Sometimes, signs like weight loss, lethargy, changes in appetite, grooming habits, or labored breathing can indicate that a cat's health is declining. Cats are experts at hiding discomfort, so noticing these signs might mean they felt unwell for some time.



There are a variety of conditions common in older cats, such as kidney disease, hyperthyroidism, or heart issues, that can gradually affect their quality of life. If your cat demonstrated notable distress or a significant decline in daily activities and comfort, it might indeed have been time.



When reflecting, try to focus on the good times and the love you shared with your cat. They would appreciate all the care you provided. If you're feeling uncertain about any symptoms or the situation, you could greatly benefit from a chat with a vet who can offer more personalized guidance and support.



Your peace of mind matters, so please consider booking a consult with us at Dial A Vet. We’re here to help you through this delicate time.
