Saying Goodbye to Your Cat: What to Expect
Let’s be real: deciding to put your cat to sleep is brutal. No one wants to make that call, but sometimes, when your cat’s pain outweighs their good days, it’s the kindest thing you can do. Talk it out with your vet—they’ll help you weigh things like appetite, mobility, and whether your cat is still enjoying life at all.
If you go ahead, prep yourself and your family. Take photos, give extra treats, and don’t sugarcoat things for kids—honesty helps everyone process. You’ll also need to decide: do you want to be there at the end? Some people do, some don’t. No shame either way.
Afterward, you’ll have choices about cremation or burial. There’s no right answer—just what feels best for you. Grieving is messy and personal. Make a little memorial, write down your feelings, or just talk it out with someone who gets it. Remember: you gave your cat a good life, and that matters most.
