Max

I totally understand your decision and would have made the same one if it had been an option for me with Taz. It's really not worth the stress it causes to Max. As long as he is comfortable for the time being then all is well.

Hugs to you and loves to Max. :)

***BIIIIGGG HUGS*** to you and Max! :love::love:

I hope so much that Max keeps up in good shape for some time to come- what you write about him eating sounds very good.

With age, they can start to lose weight. My oldest cat (he's somewhere around 12) is starting to lose a little weight. He's still active, spry, and eats and drinks well. I can live with a little weight loss, or even a large weight loss, as long as his quality of life is good.

Some times the hardest thing to do is just give love.

I couldn't say it any better. My thoughts and prayers are with you and Max.

Yes, Medusa said it quite well. Max knows you love him, and now he knows you want the best for HIM. I know the remainder of his days will be happy ones and I hope he has many many many more days left for you to spoil him rotten. This is never easy on anyone, so why make it more difficult for both of you? {{{hugs}}} to you and gentle smoochies to Max.

Love and hugs and purrs for you and Max both.

Slick, I think that you've made a wonderful decision. Now you can just enjoy the time that you have with him. Max continues to be in my thoughts and prayers. Please take care. (((HUGS)))

How is Max doing these days?

Any updates on our boy Max? :love:

How is that adorabele furball doing?

Sorry, I didn't know this had been bumped up.
I'm at work right now - will update when I get home. Right now I've been busy catching up on MOFF'S new babies....well, Mom and Baby.

Max is doing really, really well. He's an entirely different kitty. He's confident, happy, hungry, talkative and affectionate - purring up a storm after he's had dinner and we are on the couch in front of the TV. I know I made the right decision, as hard as it was. His left side was losing hair but now it seems to be growing back. The only sign of real aging is his "carcass with fur" appearance.

The other week a very strange thing happened. I was lying on the couch on my side watching TV. His 6pm alarm clock went off and he was crying for dinner. All of a sudden he jumped up on me turned around a few times and laid down on my. That was a first. He's never, ever curled up on me at any time. Then he lay his head down and seemed to enjoy it. He stayed like that for about 20 min, then jumped up, jumped down to the floor and started screaming for dinner again.

He's happy and his quality of life is extremely good and that's all that matters to me. :love: Thank you for asking.

Slick, that is just wonderful to hear! :love: You have obviously made the best decision for Max and I am glad he is showing he grateful he feels by curling up on you! How great is that???

The girlies are sending all their healthy and happy vibes to adorable Max. :love:
