I just wish it were the same for pets. We've lost two cats to cancer in the past two years. There's so much they can do to extend quality of life, but not much in the way of actually extending their lives.
- gnulinux 5y agoThis is very heart breaking. I love my cat just like a child, he's my everything, and I spend an important part of my day, playing with him, taking care of him etc. Seeing him dead would absolutely devastate me: but being a 20 something, it's very likely this will happen sometime in my lifetime (my cat is 2 years old)!
- askonomm 5y agoCats can live a pretty long time however. My grandmas two cats (sisters) lived from when I was 7 years old, to when I was 27 years old, and both died just months apart from each other. That's pretty good I think.
- nerdponx 5y agoSometimes with humans we spend too much effort extending life without considering quality of life.
- oleander73 5y agoI have incurable cancer and I wish I had the option of going to the vet to "move to a farm upstate."
- nerdponx 5y agoI'm so sorry to hear that.
- xarope 5y agoI have a pet-theory (see what I did there...) about pets; they remind us to appreciate and keep dear to us, not just pets, but the people around us.
