As of tonight, Peaches can't walk and isn't eating anymore. She lived a good life, she's nearly 20. Here's hoping she passes peacefully, she doesn't appear to be in any pain.

Jesus, what kind of monster would throw boiling water on cats!?

I appreciate you sharing your story, it reminds me of good times with Peaches and Kiki. They become more than just pets, they're like family.

As for painkillers, I had a couple gabapentin left from my own prescription, I see that used often to treat cats although imo it's a shitty painkiller. They're real strict about opioids these days.

I’m really sorry I went on so much about my cat; I honestly didn’t mean any disrespect. Just empathizing with you and putting myself in your shoes, I felt horrible and I couldn’t imagine going through the same right now. I’m really sorry this happened, and I know it doesn’t take away from the pain, but I’m glad you were aware something was happening and got to say goodbye 🙁

I live in the city, so things change really fast from neighborhood to neighborhood. My first ex was Hispanic and lived in a really ghetto neighborhood (to be honest), it wasn’t somewhere we would hang out often unless I came home from school with her when her mom wasn’t home (lol her mom would literally refer to me as “gilipollas”, right in front of me lmao), and that was one of those days.

I’m sorry about Peaches dude 😢 You sound like you were a really caring and good companion for your cats, too.
