Well, it seems that my cat is sick, well sicker than normal. Spook, my black long haired cat, is not acting at all normal. My wife took him to the vet this afternoon and they said that the thyroid medication wasnt helping. Considering he went from 13 pounds down to 6 and I think he is at 3 now, doesnt take a veternarian to tell you that hes sick. That and the growth on the thyroid has gotten bigger, he isnt even eating the wet food, barely drinks tuna fish juice, we can tell he is really sick. He also can barely pick up his head. I knew something was up when he came right up to my face and curled up practally around my neck this evening. He has never done that and I can hear him purr. I have never heard him purr before. I certainly dont want to wake up to a passed on cat, but I dont want him to suffer either. Neither my wife nor I have the heart to put him down right now. I cant tell if he is suffering or not. We will get the results of the blood work tomorrow on him and I hope its just something simple that a pill bottle can fix. Its just not like him to turn down the wet food though.
This is a cat who pulled through fatty liver disease. Google it if you dont know, but the survival rates are really low. Considering he had that when he was 2 years old, and he made it this long, 10 years now, he is starting to live on borrowed time. This cat has been through plenty and stuck around. He is the only animal that actually performs their duty in the house. He is an excellent mouser and winter is coming. I do not know if Percy will pickup on the mousing abilities or not. Anywho, for those who partake in it, prayers for Spook if you can.
