Arnie hasnt been well for a while now. I went to see him on Tuesday (he lives with my mum in Essex now) and was really shocked to see the change in him. He is painfully thin and looks awful. The vet has done blood tests and urine tests on him and they have no idea why he has gone downhill so rapidly. He did have a lump in his neck, which no one seemed to know what to do about, but that has gone now. Arnie is 14. My mum has just text me to say that the vets think it is probably cancer, but are not doing any scans. Just giving him steroids and anti biotics. She has got to take him back in two weeks. I dont think he will last that long to be honest. Mum is doing her best and she has spent a fortune at the vets which she cant afford. Pob has offered to pay, but my brother has now said he will help with the vet bills which is a weight off my mind. Poor Arnie. He was always my big fat cat. Its awful to see him like that.

I'm so sorry Tabs. Its awful when you've done all you can and it still looks bleak. Thats how it is with my Hazel, one of my piggies with a brain tumor. I never used to believe but now I believe prayer can help. Your love is more powerful than you think. I've been praying for Hazel and my friend did reiki healing on her last week and she seems a lot better. I'll pray for Arnie also xx

Cheers Minxlette. I phoned mum today and she said that Arn has eaten a little bit of fish. She said he doesnt seem to be in pain, just sleepy.

Spoke to my mum yesterday. After the injections the vet has given him, Arns appetite has gotten a lot better. He is eating two bowls of Iams a day (I know, I know ). Mum said she hasnt weighed him yet, so she doesnt know if hes put on any weight, but hopefully the food will have some effect. I still think the diagnosis is a bit vague, but Arn had a sister called Abbie who went like hes gone so maybe it is genetic. Abbie ate and ate and just got thinner and thinner and eventually died of a lung infection or something. They did all sorts of tests and never did find out the reason she kept losing weight. Anyways. Arn may look like Posh Spice on a diet at the moment, but at least hes eating and hopefully getting his strength back. He says thank you all for your good wishes and you may send him fishless fish fingers as a get well present. (He would prefer fish but he understands that youre all weirdos and dont eat it).
