Cats Question

Please help :'(

Okay so my cat who is 10(he's 11 this month) is slowly dying, he's really ill atm. I woke up this morning and he just looks so sad and it's breaking my heart :'(
3 years ago he caught feline aids and it seems this past week he's gotten really weak, he won't eat, he's lost LOADS of weight and it's really affecting him. He's going the vets today to have injections which he's been having for the past month and they seem to make him better. I was just wondering what I could do to make him feel better and cheer him up? :( i love him so much and it's hurting me as much as it's hurting him :(

i know how it feels to have an ill cat. i lost one of my cats in december last year and he was only 7...
well your cat is quite old and at one point you will have to say goodbye to each other but let's hope this moment will not come soon ;)


so, i lived with cats all my life and i learned quite a few things about them so to make a cat happier, you have to make it feel comfortable. cats feel safer when they hear a conversation so just hearing your voice will make him feel safer. in these difficult times he demands lots of attention. you have to be with him, like a reliable friend. (because a cat will never see you as his master, only as his equal) he might not be in the best mood to play but it deserves to try to play with him. also if he sees you sad, it will make him sad as well so you have to be strong because sometimes, the mind beats the medications. Think positive!

I wish your cat a quick recovery!

Sorry about that. I hope he'll get better. I had a 19 year old
black cat, her name was Gypsy. and she had kidney failure
and she had to be put down. It was about 10 years ago.
I do hope your cat does get well, I'd hate to see a cat ill
and doesn't eat. I hope the vets take care of him and get
him well and healthy. I wish good luck for you and your cat.

i did not know cats could get aids, well, now that i know they can it's very sad, especially because your cat is old, you probably feel very helpless right now....i know because my dog Toby died at five, this is him....he ate a poisonous frog and had a slow painful death because it was independence day and the vets were all closed. At least your cat is receiving medical treatment for his illness, some owners don't even do that especially if their animals r old, anyways, its good the meds r working all i can do is wish your kitty good luck and hope he is okay. You can try to play with him more often, pet him etc, buy him stuff maybe, treat him really well :)

Cats like a small,safe place so you can just pile a bunch of towels and put him under just so his head is out or you can put some comfy things in his carrier.You might also want to blend food for him and feed him in small amounts a couple of times a day.If you need to,you can even hand-feed him.Cats also like you being around so you should be more with him.Also,make sure you have a lamp turned on near him - for warmth. If your cat is having trouble moving,you can ask the vet if you can give him a pain-killer.Also,make sure he gets water.And,you should keep quiet around your cat.At the end,it isn't fair to make your kitty suffer,is it?The most humane way to help your cat might be to put him down...I'm so sorry...

what animals really want when they`re sick is love. they want to be cuddled and petted and fed treats.they want you to fix a little box where they can just sit there and purr.
