Stinky the cat

[twirlgrrl]

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.









Thanks to artemis_rich for that last one.
