He is now 13 or 14 years old, I rescued him as a kitten from the pound..... 3 months ago, the vet said he has a thyroid cancer or condition and no treatment except this 2x daily medication. She said no more flea treatments, no more immunizations, no tooth extraction. So, he's lost almost 2/3 his former weight and the past 2 weeks he almost completely stopped eating.....YET, he still purrs, he still wants to go outside at night and guard the front of the house, and he still drinks water and a tiny bit of dry food, normally he used to eat 1/2-1 can of canned food every single day, now he just looks at it... I cannot bear to take him to be put to sleep as the vet has mentioned this will be his future (before 9 months from now), anyhow I did see him vomit the other day for the first time but I did not mention it to anyone. I almost wish he would just run away because I CANNOT be the one to make the decision. My husband did that with our cocker spaniel who was only 4 and had an incurable liver condition, he says it's my turn now.
PS He still goes out this week and is harrassing the birds and he actually killed one this week I think. (Same old self)
