We\u2019ve spent the past week with her, letting her eat whatever she wants, hugging her, and crying. She had her 24th birthday on the 3rd, and things went downhill so fast after that. Personality wise, she\u2019s her amazing self. But her arthritis is so bad. I know this is the right thing for her, but my heart is so broken. I\u2019ve had her for over half my life. She\u2019s been my best friend for so long. I just don\u2019t know how to say goodbye. *I just wanted to add the junk food is from this morning. She has always had a very healthy diet.<br \/> Edited to add her name is Foosa \u2764\ufe0f Thank you so much to everyone for your love and support. I\u2019m reading all your comments and crying.<br \/> I know I didn\u2019t go into a whole lot of detail, but her arthritis is so bad that she can\u2019t hold herself steady to eat anymore. She falls over when walking sometimes, or gives up all together and just lays down. We tried laser treatments last month, and it helped a little bit. But she took a sudden turn right after her birthday. Since it got so bad, I have been pushing her around the house in her stroller so she can always be with us. Making this decision is the hardest thing I\u2019ve ever done. Seeing her like this, when she\u2019s always been so active and happy, broke my heart for her. Shes so tired all the time now, and I can see how much pain she\u2019s in. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><!-- SC_ON --> &#032; submitted by &#032; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/user\/Lululorayne\"> \/u\/Lululorayne <\/a> &#032; to &#032; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/cats\/\"> r\/cats <\/a> <br \/> <span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/gallery\/1vnwvcv\"><\/a><\/span> &#032; <span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/cats\/comments\/1vnwvcv\/saying_goodbye_to_our_24_year_old_baby\/\">[comments]<\/a><\/span> <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<script async=\"async\" data-cfasync=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/pl30214220.effectivecpmnetwork.com\/9ab3d4df8a7e1a6171e16ddbf732cc19\/invoke.js\"><\/script>\r\n<div id=\"container-9ab3d4df8a7e1a6171e16ddbf732cc19\"><\/div>\r\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We\u2019re saying goodbye to our sweet baby tomorrow.
