A few more thoughts about this –
One thing I didn’t mention above about my cat’s particular situation, but which happens to many deteriorating kitties, is they eventually can have seizures. My kitty had one tiny, brief seizure and that was enough. The cause of the seizures can’t really be treated; they can only be endured. She suffered and even though she survived and recuperated somewhat, she was on track for more. I could not and would not let her go there again.
Also, for you to be aware of when you are ready: Some vets make house calls for euthanasia’s. I have used that service a couple of times because it completely eliminates any chance the cat will get stressed. To say goodbye in familiar surroundings can be a comforting last act of thanks from you to your cat for years of companionship. It isn’t inexpensive, but might be an option anyway.
Take care.
