Hey, I said I don't want to go to the vet!

This is my cat Patches. I can't get many pictures of him anymore due to his hiding. He was a stray cat that wandered onto my property in 1994. He was emaciated, had frostbite on his paws and nose, he had his front claws removed and he was already fixed. You could feel every bone on his rib cage. I think I lost my mind then. I gave him a bowl of Cheerios and milk and he was MINE! Now he is near the end and I feel like I am too. They thought he would die from his congenial heart disease but what is getting to him is his arthritis. I give him injections now every two weeks. Which are not helping very much. He refuses his heart medication now. I believe in the New Year I will be making the Decision (with the Vet's help), Family is no help at all. I can't stand to see him suffer like he is.
