Re: Do animals know?

I have to say that I have only had one cat put to sleep...he was a stray that had found his way into our garage......he was full of infected bites and fleas. I treated him, gave him antibiotics washed and cleaned his infected bites....and he was almost better.
I had found a new home for him where he would be loved and cared for.........he was almost ready to go to his new home. I went out one morning to do his antibiotics and clean his healing wounds and found him almost comatose with a severe head injury.
I wrapped him up and took him to the vets and he was put to sleep.... he was much too sick to know much about it.

All my other cats(I've had quite a few) just seem to stop eating and drinking and fade away......I'm too cowardly to take them to be put to sleep.

When they are gone I feel like I have lost a member of the family.
