So... yeah. Cut because it's depressing kitty stuff.
So my one cat, Cookie, is getting old. He's been with me since I was... five, maybe? and he's a good cat. But we noticed stuff a while back that was kind of worrying.
First of all, he was losing a lot of weight. We kind of expected that of an old cat - we've had cats a lot, and when kitties get old, they tend to lose weight. But this was a lot of weight.
Second was that he wasn't eating really well, and would... wobble when he walked. So finally I got worried to the point I made Mom take him to the vet's office.
They took blood, looked him over, and got back to us saying he had something wrong with him that was messing with his blood. They gave us high-calorie cat food and some pills. So we've been feeding him and giving him the pills, but...
He's still skinny. Sometimes he won't even move if I pick him up. He'll meow for no reason at all, and I won't know what to do.
I just... I'm getting the feeling it's time. It just seems mean to make him go through this longer. I hate the idea of it, but...
I just don't know what to do.
