I'm so, so sorry.

Doubtless you know that cancer just took one of ours.

All I can say is what Ed-puss taught me in the last month or so - he doesn't know what's happening - treasure every day - try not to think about what's coming (I know, I couldn't stop myself, but try).

And it's true that you'd know if he were in pain, so don't worry about that.

I am sorry that the bloods didn't show anything more positive Stuart, I think you are doing the right thing by not giving him the treatment, and I do hope he exceeds the vets expectations. While deep down we know our babies wont be with us forever, it is news like this that hammers it home, and makes things hard, but he will enjoy life regardless, he has no concept of time in that respect, and just treasure every day with him, and make sure you have plenty of pics and happy memories.
Please spay your cat

with Bluto (he died of kidney cancer so might not be the same) the first sign he was going down hill was a lack of co-ordinatation - not trying to scare you or upset you but its worth knowing because I didn't have a clue - I just put it down to him getting on a bit

Thank's again folks
I look at Misty now and He's still Misty :Luv: although today he's back to gravy licking again  :(
Like you say Gill, just because I now know what's wrong with Him, He's still the Same, untill they have an off day  :(
then it all hit's home and the misery set's in  :'(

the vet also told me that it won't be the cancer that will take Him (although that is the underlying cause for His illness)
but it will probably be kidney failure. (this is bad) but I feel a wee bit of relief knowing that, and will know what to look out
for and what to expect as I went through the same with Hamish

as you have all said, I will now be Taking it day by day

Thank You all again, Your support means so much to me

I am so sorry Stuart and know exactly how you are feeling.  :hug:

I try to tell myself that Franta is no worse now than he was before I knew the story and thats working better now but its taken all month and unlike Misty he never tucks into nice food.

I think that you must tell yourself the same and then it sorta calms down until they have a bad day........sigh

Its the shock of actually being told and the time it takes to sink in and then the misery.

Like everyone says take each day one by one and give him lots of cuddles from me and franta sends furry headbuts and pushes and a meowwwwwwwwwww  :hug:

Really so sorry to hear this Stuart  :hug: :hug:.

It's so very difficult to get a time limit out of your head once a vet has mentioned something but we all know the vet can't really know how long Misty has left.  You always knew Misty was getting on and has a limited span like us all. Try to think back to that reality not the vet's guess and enjoy Misty as he is now  :hug:

Thanks Guy's,
although this past month Misty has had a couple of bad day's , not really eating he's just licking the gravy off his food
still been lapping up his milk and drinking water
Right at this moment He's as bright as a button and is currently tucking into a large piece of freshly cooked Salmon
Looking at him tucking in, I still find it hard to digest that I only have a limited amount of time left with him :'(

can't think of anything else to say, I wont let him suffer

Thank's again for your understanding and support

Sorry for the bad news for you and Misty - its never what we want to hear is it

On the plus side he is still Misty and you are still his Dad so that bond hasn't changed its only the time factor that has been moved

Stuart you will love him while you can and I'm sure more treats are coming as are the cuddles - by the way vet should ask the cat re the time parameters all ours have outlived the time frame the vets gave them and we got them for that wee bit longer

Its a very hard outcome but at least you still have your boy and thats what makes this day and all the others he still has with you worth it :hug:
