Kitty, Again

More bladder control problems. Friday and yesterday he would at least move out of the spot once he lost control. Today he just sat in it until I realized and moved him, and most of his left side is wet.

He doesn't eat-he just sniffs food then turns his head away.

He seems to like being near us, but won't make much effort to move toward us, really.

Because of the bladder issue, we've kept him in a bathroom with his box, water, and a cozy sleeping spot (on the heated floor) the last two nights. Each morning when we have gone to get him, he's been laying in the litter box. He doesn't get up to greet us. He just lays there.

He's less and less himself, more and more spacey and distant.

The end is close.

Sigh.

Such sad news, J. I'm so sorry. Know that you have been just wonderful to him. this is one of the worst parts about living with cats -- you typically outlive them. This guy has had a long and happy, feisty life with lots and lots of love flowing in both directions. Do keep us posted...
