What would you do? (**Update 6-18-09 - need your prayers)

I have not posted in a while... but those that remember me will know I have always had multicat households and my guys have usually been long-lived. It is so hard when they get so ill that you can't be sure what they would want you to be doing.

It sounds as if you are and continue to be your cat's loving advocate... In all the years I've had pets I have learned that you need to listen with your heart to what they want. You will know when you are helping him fight his illnesses and when you are fighting not to lose someone you love but who has gotten tired of the fight and wants to let go.

This is not to say that this is that time. You know your cat and you know yourself. You both have my strongest wishes for the best. Whatever happens, remember the love you share never ends.

Sydney has been on the Prednisone for almost a week and she is significantly better. She was actually playing with her toys today, which is something she hasnt done in a long while. She is eating a lot better and has returned to eating her dry food. She still has a long way to go before I feel comfortable with her wieght, however, I think she feels heavier and has put on some weight. I still dont know what is going on inside her and why she was so ill, but I am hoping and praying it was not the cancer. For now, my focus is keeping her eating and then hopefully I will go from there. I was so afraid I was about to loose her and she has turned around again. Lets hope this trend continues and she keeps eating. I will keep everyone posted with her progess and thank you again for all the positive thougts. Thank you!

How encouraging, Katherine! I'm so glad that Sydney is doing better and even putting on weight. Pred will do that, for sure. Atta girl, Sydney! High five to you, Katherine! And, of course, (((HUGS))).
