Stinky the cat

Stinky is really sick. Like, dying sick. He has lost at least half his (considerable) body weight, is not eating, and is very weak. The vet did an x-ray and took some blood yesterday. He thinks he feels an abdominal mass but it didn't show up well on the x-ray. The x-ray did show fluid surrounding Stinky's lungs. Sweet guy purred all the way through his exam and even through the needle stick.

I'm not a big keep-them-alive-at-all-costs person. I'm just waiting for the lab results to see if there's something we can do to keep him more comfortable for a few days or weeks, since he's not miserable, just very weak. He still purrs the whole time I'm near him.

Such a sweet lunk of a kitty.
