My buddy Spot
Spot kitty has been my buddy for almost twenty years. He got his name Spot because as a kitten he looked like a black spot on the floor. He grew to be a fierce 16 pounds of feline majesty. He has really slowed down the past few months. I have him on CBD oil and it’s helping but... he’s not eating much and is losing weight. Sometimes being the grownup and doing the right thing really sucks.

It is very difficult to watch them decline, and in my experience it is almost always in the winter. If they make it to Spring they bounce back. 
I had Spot Kitty as well, she was mostly white with a few big spots - a very sweet girl. My 20 yr old Ricki is an orange tabby that has noticeably slowed this winter as well. 
Fur babies make life so joyful - but we know there will be loss and pain. It's all worth it for the love and companionship they give us.
Give Spot big hugs and treats - btw, the CBD oil is always a good thing !
Best to you and Spot from Ricki and me. 
She’ll be 14 in Feb and I can’t imagine my life without her. Whatever path you and Spot choose, I know it will be the best for her. Peace to you both.
Each one of them has left paw prints on my heart. For each of my fur babies, I have made the pledge to do the compassionate thing when the time comes to make the ultimate decision. It is hard, but it is also the most loving act when life becomes too painful for our cuddle buddies. Blessing being sent to you and to Spot. ~ Halle (8 yrs), Teddy (8 yrs), Feisty (20 months), Rebel (6 months), and me. 
*All of mine are rescues. Halle and Teddy came to me as week old kittens, Feisty showed up on my doorstep as a 4-5 week old sick kitten that is now a healthy active cat, and Rebel was born to a feral mom cat (Baby Girl) late in the summer. He was very small and not very healthy, so he came into my house where his diet was more controlled and he's on L-lysine for immune system support. He has recovered and has added lots of kitten energy to the household.
