This is so difficult. I too lost a cat to kidney disease a few years ago. It was very difficult to watch l'il Zig deteriorate.
I wish you much strength and courage. I feel your sadness.
Here's my menu
Tuna - for course 1
palate cleanser of 1 shrimp in between courses.
Turkey - for course 2
10 pounds of Catnip for dessert.
You remember the movie scarface? how at the end of the film Tony (Al Pacino) had a mountain of cocaine on his desk ? That's how much catnip Aubrie should get.
