Hi, I have an old kitty, will be 19 later this month. Her name is Snowball and she is still mobile. She eats and sleeps mostly, but that's ok. Snowball's mate is Spooky (15 years old) and they spend most of their time snoozing on their big, soft pillow. I usually hold Snowball on my lap and pet her in the morning, that's our time together. The other day, Snowball came out in the livingroom to scold me for not bringing dinner on time and my husband pointed out that she is in really bad shape. She was circling and does look pretty bad. She still grooms, but not well. This morning I noticed she seems to be in pain when I picked her up and every time I shifted, she hissed and tried to bite me, so I know she is hurting. I don't want anything done to her, no shots, pills, fluids, etc., nothing that will prolong her life or make her miserable. She is old and too good of a cat for that at this point in her life. However, I am wondering what signs I should look for that she might be in pain all the time? Will she cry out if she is in pain while laying on her pillow? Is there any kind of pain killer that could be put in her food or something like that? Any info or ideas I can get would be appreciated. Thanks.
