dusty_retroThis one is a doozy.
Kwill had a vet visit this last Monday.
OG it was for the arthritis and vomiting, but they did a blood test. Turns out he has Kidney Disease. Which explains the vomiting, weight loss (in three weeks alone he lost several ounces), and general just... Being less like himself and being extra clingy like how Mom's old cat was before she died.
Ngl I cried thinking about it, still at the vet's, and even now if I think on it too hard I start to veer on uncontrollably crying. (Legit it's made me think about his end of life care and talking to the vet in advance about arrangements for when he's ready to go. I know I'll be inconsolable and unable to tell them what I want done. I want him cremated so I can keep his ashes with me... I need to start sewing a plush of him since I plan to keep the ashes in a vial or something similar in it.)
He's been with me for forever.... I want him to be okay as long as he can, but I need to start coming to terms with losing him before it happens.
It'll destroy me regardless and I need to be ready.
Yolo,
