My dying senior cat is in pain. How can I help him feel better?

My elder cat is near death, what can I give him to lessen his pain? Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | 10 lbs

Unfortunately nothing. Many human pain medications are toxic to cats, and cause death themselves, but it's not a pain free death. Giving them human pain medications will make things much worse. Dying is not a pain free process and if Skyler is dying, taking him into a vet immediately to put him to sleep will be the kindest thing for him. Please take him into a vet now.
