I have never been much of a cat lover, but I have been in similar situations with my Dogs. I know how tough it is to make that ultimate decision. I hope everything works out for you.

Could be Cystitis. Kidney shut down. Cats susceptible to blocked ureters.

GOOD KITTY. I am a dog person myself but I will surly say a prayer for your little fur ball before bed tonight. Any cat willing to incurre the wrath of the of the Secret Service just to take a poke at Obunghole deserves all the prayers available.

Prayers for you both. Had a white cat wander up to a restaurant I owned 8 years ago. She had been abused and probably dumped in the lot by the adjacent Chinese restaurant.

Anyhow, God brought that little thing into our lives to join the other 2 cats and we discovered she had diabetes, skin & food allergies, and asthma. If diagnosed with diabetes, your cat can be given Insulin injections. It is very easy to do even for those who think they could never do it. Quite frankly, it was easier to give her 2 shots a day than to try a pedicure with her.

After a year of Insulin shots, one day our cat stumbled out of the room looking drunk, gasping, and collapsed on the tile. We thought that was it but quickly put some Hershey’s chocolate syrup from the fridge on our finger and rubbed it all in her mouth. KEEP SOME HANDY. Apparently at some point it is possible that their pancreas will just adjust or reject the Insulin shots. She is still alive today and has been off Insulin for 5 or 6 years. Not bad for an 18-20 year old cat who had to wait 10 years before she hit the jackpot of love.

You already know that plenty of love will help comfort her no matter the diagnosis. As others said, the Fancy Feast can food seems to give them the incentive to eat; and they bitch for more. Have to cut them off like last call sometimes.
If no chocolate syrup, grape jam on hand will suffice if she has a crash in blood sugar. You may encounter this and will have to act as there will not be time to drive to vet.
Be strong amigo and many blessings to you and yours.
