This is my 15.5 year old, blind kitty. (and yes, the one I shaved...)
She hasn't been eating for the past week. A month ago she weighed 5 pounds. Yesterday she weighed only 4 pounds. She was dehydrated and they had to give her fluids at the vet. They also did a big blood work-up. We're afraid she might have kidney disease. I think we'll get the results back today or tomorrow.
If it's kidney disease there's no cure. It would be a matter of making her comfortable. But I also don't want to see her suffer. I think we may be at that difficult place - time to make a decision.
Cabby was my first cat "on my own". I got her at the end of my senior year in college. She did the three day almost-cross-country drive to CO with me and dad when I went to grad school. She flew from CO to OH when I moved. And a long car ride from OH to NY. She's been with me the longest.

I am so sorry Julie. I know she meant a lot to you, and hopefully you can find some comfort in all the years you did have together :(
