I've had her for my entire life, literally. I'm not ready to loose her yet...
She hasn't been eating or drinking, she hasn't been using her litterbox, she threw up bile today, she coughed up bloody mucus.
The stress and constant attacks from the new kitten is killing her. Not to mention she's starving because he always eats all her food...
I just hope that during her final moments, I can be there with her. I want to be able to hold her in my arms one last time when she dies... I can barely see through my tears right now.
She is the kindest, most beautiful cat I have ever known. I don't want to loose her... She isn't just a pet, she isn't just a lifelong friend. She's family. Her death would be just as devastating as if my sister or my dad died. I'm not ready to loose my best friend. I don't want her to die, she can't be dying yet...
I really need a hug. There has been so many tragic events in my life, with the best dog I could ever ask for passing away, bullying, betrayal, blackmail, learning my uncle has cancer, my grandfather dying, my brother hating me, now this.
I had the exact experience. I owned two cats, one was a mother and the other her son, who grew up with her from birth to an old adult while all her kittens were given away. They must've had a strong bond, because when the male got sick and died, the mother went into a sort of depression. She refused to eat, until the point she was so close to starvation that she had to be put down because there was nothing we could do to help her. I can relate to your cat throwing up and coughing up blood because that's what my male cat suffered before he died. I grew up with those cats, but when they died it didn't really effect me.
But the point is, that isn't anything unusual... unfortunately, unless your vet has a solution, there's nothing you can really do. If she starts to suffer physically, I would recommend putting her down, because once she walks down that road there's no turning back I'm afraid. It's an awful experience, I understand. I love animals as well, and I wouldn't doubt she's just as important to you as your family. But if you really love her you won't let her suffer; trust me, it would be worse for her to live through that than it would be for your her die peacefully.
I don't know what to say about the last sentence in your post, that's really sad and I'm so sorry. Personally, bullying and betrayal don't effect me period, because I couldn't care less about other people. But the things about your family must really hurt and I am just so sorry about that. I think you need a hug *hugs* <33333333 but things get better, trust me.
