It's done.  We buried him at my mom's farm.  I feel so much better now.  I don't like that Sunny's gone but I don't have to worry about him anymore.  He didn't like the trip to the vet (none of my cats like car rides) but he was pretty quiet most of the trip.  They weighed him and he was over 2...

@catwoman707 @talkingpeanut I know.  Thanks, guys.

@Artiemom I know.  I was hoping he'd go at home surrounded by his family but it doesn't seem like that's going to happen.  I'm even afraid to pick him up and just hold him because I'm worried I'll hurt him.  He's resting under the couch right now and I'm afraid to pick him up when it's time to go.

@Margd   @talkingpeanut He's being put down this afternoon.  Starting last Friday he stopped trying to eat or play.  He just sleeps and sleeps.  When he is awake he huffs through his mouth an can barely stand.  There's nothing else I can do.  He'll just keep slowly getting worse and I don't...

Hi, guys.  I was going through my phone today and I found this pic of him (middle) with his siblings when they were little.  Though I'd share it with you all.  Thanks for all your help. Sorry for the fuzziness.  I still use a flip phone.

Thanks, guys.  I'll keep you updated. 

I guess I have no choice He still can't keep food down and nothing I do helps.

@catwoman707 It definitely doesn't help my work schedule this week suuuuccks!  I work all day for 3 days in a row so I can't even be there with him or he'll have to suffer for that much longer.  When I was a kid I lived on a farm and animal dying didn't effect me much.  If an animal died from...

@catwoman707 I know.  What' worse is that Easter celebrates life and all I can think of is how much longer he has left.  He still acts halfway normal.  Still tries to eat but can't keep it down.  If he has to die I hope he goes in his sleep.  Taking him to be killed would be too painful.

I'm going to try to get his chest tapped sometime next week.  Nothing seems to be working and I'm hoping it'll bring him some relief.

Sorry.  Was working all day. @Margd They did give me some pills for him.  It has our names on it but the package says it's for dogs so I'm confused.  I'm supposed to give him half a pill every 24 hours but I have no idea how to do that. @catwoman707 They did blood tests there and he said...

The vet gave him a shot to help with the nausea but he's still throwing up.  I'm completely at a loss.

@talkingpeanut I really hope you're right.  I don't think I could take losing all of them.

@talkingpeanut The vet said that if he does have it and he's sharing a litter box, food, etc. then he's probably already infected them.  But then the nurse handed me a print-out saying basically that if the cat's immune system is strong enough he can get over it. So, yeah, I'm not sure what to...

Just got back from the vet.  It's not looking good.  His chest is filled with fluid and there's a chance he might have an incurable disease called FIP.  We'd have to get an ultrasound and a tap to make sure but it seems the most likely diagnosis.  What's worse, it's contagious so if he does have...

The vet is already closed so I'll have to call them first thing in the morning and hope they can squeeze him in.  I was making a cake and I let him lick out the egg shells which he seems to enjoy. EDIT:  Nevermind.  He threw up the tiny bit of egg he ate.  And the bit of sauce on my plate.  I...

@xenafritz@CalicosRSpecial   I tried wet food a few days ago but he scarfed it down so fast he threw it up in less than a minute.  Not sure if that was his stomach or because he went too fast. @Margd Just as I was writing this he went into a panic as he was throwing up.  He was running around...

@Willowy I hope that's all it is.  Last night I let him lick of my plate and he didn't barf it up.  And yesterday when I was making lunch I gave him a little bit of shredded cheese and turkey lunchmeat.  He threw up the meat and rice but I didn't see any cheese.  Maybe I should try wet food...
