She's not going to the vet, never liked being picked up at all and the stress would likely put her over the edge. She's 16 years old, we're not going to push her when she's ready to go and right now she's feisty/stubborn enough to keep going.
Request the vet to visit you then.
Keep the cat inside. Anything <3 month is not long enough.
I'd agree if it's for a few months then keep it inside. New owner, new location, if it gets out then it's gone. You said "ship it to", implying to and from another country. You're probably going to need documentation to avoid quarantine issues, including vet issued health certificate, proof of rabies vaccination, maybe more. Also each country may have its own rules for that.
Well there's this bigger version covering more patterns and colors, also smoke patterns! (might have been posted in this thread before?)

I've had my cat go under for dental surgery (US) and it cost far far less than that. That bill makes no sense to me.
The bill's like this:
Switch. That seems insane.The bill's like this:
There was also one UTI emergency two years ago cost me $600 in the same clinic. Now I am thinking if it's time to switch to a different place.
Yeah, that's what we'll be doing. Wife just has to muster up the courage to do it, because she's primarily her cat and she has to be comfortable with having the conversation. She's still hissing and growling at the other cat through doors and such though, so she still has plenty of energy... is just frail and old :(
Have you considered trying Feliway? Maybe not situation-specific but just in general, but we've found it has somewhat of a calming effect on kitties. Doesn't seem to work for all though, but it's worth a shot.
That all sounds very similar to my cat. She was hiding in the corner of her cage under a towel when I went to the SPCA.
It's not necessarily an end. Just keep in mind this might happen.
Oh no, sorry to hear that. I really hope they figure out what's wrong and she pulls through
I'm not sure what to say other than enjoy every day you have. Loss of appetite is certainly a big concern though. Have you tried different foods? Adding more wet food especially, and packets of broth, which will have more smell and be easier to lap up some of it. Your vet may be able to provide something to help with appetite too.
Thank you all. It's quite a shock.
One of the last pics I took, just a few days ago (I was sick with the flu all week and she'd jump on me to snuggle every day <3):
I am heartbroken and numb right now. RIP poor little Arya, gone way too soon. 😭

I dont think its that unrealistic. It always depends on what they do.The bill's like this:

No input on the pink thing because I have no idea (glad you already have a vet visit planned), but I see your kitty has a fair amount of dander. Our older cat had dander issues as well that used to be murder on my sinuses. We managed to get it under control by introducing wet food into his diet. He gets dry food in the morning and wet food for dinner. After a few weeks, his dander was gone. If you haven't tried wet food already, it might be worth looking into.I'm so so sorry Morrigan for your loss :( -hugs-

Just to disclaimer at the start I have a vet appointment scheduled Monday for her/it to get checked out but in the current time I was wondering if anyone had any idea what this pink, hard lump on my cats back could be? I found it the other day while petting her while she was laying on my chest and I've been worried. Was hard to get good pictures of it so I tried my best.
Thanks for the reply! I wasn't quite sure what that was on her due but have been doing regular brushing. I found these on amazon and seeing the good reviews i ordered some as they had a 40% off coupon.
You have it the wrong way round. The dry food only diet is probably causing her obesity.
Wet food is a great to get you cat some extra hydration. As Sheepinator pointed out, it is less calorie dense than dry food. Our cat is also 13, and he has actually lost weight since we changed his diet to dry in the morning and wet in the evening. Vet said he was never obese, but he's less chunky now.
