I was with her every minute of her last day. She made it to 18 years and her kidneys failed. We are so so sad.

I know that cats often search for a secluded place to die. But I believe / hope it was comforting to have her humans at her side.

Who else has this special experience of being with your cat in the final moments?

I’m so sorry, it’s so difficult to say goodbye. I’m glad you got spend some time together at the end. When we said goodbye to our kitty we were holding her and scratching her ears when she took her last breath.
