crazyfurriesSo it's...been years since I updated here. Because life, depression and a host of other excuses got my brain away.
And I'm only on here right now because I have to update things that have been going ON in my life, seeing as the world has sunk into Covid-19 hellscape. (I live in the US, yes IT SUCKS. Jumping Zombie Christmas we are run by ignorant assholes.)
I'm updating because right before we got the Safer At Home notice (in..March?), Louie was showing signs of severe difficulty with the litterbox and a large lump on the right side of his muzzle. This year, he just went past 14 years old, and rather to no one's surprise he's got kidney failure. Y'all who have elderly cats say this is manageable and you would be right!
The lump in Louie's mouth was Squamous Cell Oral Cancer and it had anchored to the roof of his mouth, in a place the Veterinarian called 'hard to remove and painful to live with'. So for these past months he's been getting fed wet food mixed with Gabapentin. This past week, he's had a steady loss of appetite and the past two days...bloody mucus vomit over the bed followed by an attempt to defecate on it after he couldn't do that in the litter box. Tonight getting him to take the medicated food goop involved feeding it to him on my fingers.
Tuesday I have to put down my sweet bubbaw man cat.
