Having a senior dog with cancer is so hard. 😢I made this to help me cope — and if you’re going through anticipatory grief of any kind, I hope it helps you, too!

Serious Question

My brother's cat (14 years old- the cat, not him) is not eating and we don't know why.

He said they went to the vet, and the vet recommended senior cat food, but she won't eat more than a few bites.

Wet food and dry food are both being refused, and while she IS interested in his dog's wet food, stealing the dog food is also making her throw up.

She's still snuggly and purrs when pet- still makes biscuits and drools when you rub her chin, runs from the dog and growls when he gets silly- but she's become frighteningly thin.

Does anyone with senior cat experience have any ideas for helping her gain weight?

She used to be an absolute brick of a cat- just a solid unit, caught pests like nobody's business- so it's really hard to see her this tiny

Any advice at all is appreciated. Thanks

I had to say good bye to my best girl two weeks ago. She would have been 18 in a couple of months. She was the most important part of my life for 17 years, and I'm absolutely wrecked.

As Gaston de Foix lamented in the 15th century, "the moost defaute of houndes is that thei lyven not longe inowe." [the greatest fault of dogs is that they live not long enough]
