I posted a while back about my kittens eyes. That problem after we got it medicine cleared up wonderfully and she is doing well.
But now my older cat Lovey whom is 8 coming up on 9 in march is acting strange. She's gained weight, she's a big cat to begin with but she had lost a little. Near her tail when you pet her she meows and tries to bite whomever touched her, the lower back thing has been going on for about 6 months or so maybe longer. And now also in that spot are two small patches of fur missing from where i'm guessing she somehow got them out. I've also noticed that she doesnt talk to me as much, she used to meow at me all the time now i dont hear a thing when i talk to her. Nor does she move around much anymore, just sleeps in the chair in our living room...
My mother is telling me she wont take her to the vet just to be told that shes going to need expensive medicines, and more regular vists to the vet. Because 'Its just a cat.' My mother was raised to where their animals were never taken to vets...I dont think thats right and i've tried fighting her on it but she wont listen to me..
I'm begging her to take her in january when we have the money but i'm worried that if we do the vet will tell us something bad..I know that if we cant afford the medicine and the vet tells us that its hurting her..I may just have to make one of the hardest choices in my life and have them put her down..to save her pain....
I'm really worried about Lovey, as she is older and overweight..and has never been like this before..Any advice as to what I should do?Or what could be wrong?
