...As in the live one.

He's not doing too well.  Sleeping constantly, not eating, weight loss, muscle loss.....Taking him to the vet tomorrow.  I have no faith.  His mother went out the same way.  She was under 10.  Pancreas issue.  Chances of survival if it IS the same are VERY slim.  I fear it's the same thing and I have a feeling that I'll be saying goodbye tomorrow......

He's 11.  I watched his birth.

Hope for the best, and be prepared for the worst, and if that's the case, find comfort in knowing you provided what i'm sure was a loving and caring home...but you reading this won't make it any easier.

I know your pain, I had to put down my 3 18yo cats with in the same year due to kidny failure.  Be strong, but know its ok sometimes to ball like a baby when its necessary.  When my chihuahua Duke had a stroke, I literally did 90+mph through a parkinglot going to the vet.  When they put him down I sat in front of the vet on the curb and wept.  Infact I still get choked up thinking about it.  Best wishes for you and your fuzzy friend.

Took him over to the vet at 2.  Was told to call for an update at 5.
The vet seems to think it may be an adrenal gland issue.  The test came back negative for Pancreatitus.  another test shows he's been in contact with the feline leukemia virus, but does not have feline leukemia.  Wish I knew more about this adrenal thing.  Apparently it's a newer discovery as far as cats & dogs are concerned.....

Sorry Paul, was just thinking earlier how I'd feel if one of ours was terminally ill, both are between 5-6 years old, hopefully they'll be around a long time yet...

Sorry to hear of your loss. I had to have my cat put down 5 years ago and it still hurts when I think about her. But I now have twin gray calecoes, I've had them for a year now and they've really brought a joy back into my life. They've been great company for me since I've been laid off as well. Give yourself time to heal then when you feel ready get another one or two, it really does help to ease the pain.
