She couldn’t sleep, she would not face you, she would find places to hide and face into the wall - really strange behaviour. In the end she was having these “fits” of shaking, and couldn’t walk straight. It never meowed or cried in pain or whatever, but it had to be suffering. Or at least confused as to what was going on.

Thats exactly how my cat is acting. He just lays and stares at the wall. He still eats some but it seems hard for him. Its like he knows he should eat but he doesn't really want it. Today we had made the decision to do it but then my husband decided to give him his medicine for a few more days and see if it helped. His tumors have doubled in size in just a couple of weeks. Poor baby. I think once its done, I can start healing but right now the grief is constant. Its tough watching your best friend die and not having the strength to help him pass. And I am so sick of crying!

I know your pain. But, I think your cat has already made his decision. Now you need to help him. If you think the meds will help - keep doing that. But if it is just to prolong things, the only thing your prolonging is your grief and his suffering. Be strong. And good luck.
