How to Comfort a Dying Cat
When a cat is dying, the last thing it wants is to be disturbed. This is why it is important to offer it treats and a calm environment.

Keep in mind that the dying cat may have limited tolerance for contact, and may even become aggressive when you try to approach it.
During this difficult time, try to remember the good times you had with your cat. This will help you keep a positive attitude and realize that the death of your cat is a natural part of life. It will always appreciate your presence and support during its life, as well as your presence during its final moments.
If you aren’t sure whether or not your cat is ready to pass on, talk to your veterinarian. While it may seem easier to keep your cat around for one more day, it may only prolong the pain and make it worse.

While your cat will probably not want to be touched during its final days, it will want to feel safe and loved. Make sure the room is quiet and free of other distractions. You may also need to give it some treats to keep it occupied and regain some of its energy.
