A cat can be near death and appear fine. Regular check ups, and wet food helps to keep teeth healthy. I selfishly let my 18yr cat go too long and well, never again.
cats and cancer
- Thread starter redhat
- Start date
We lost my 11 yr old babycat and 8 yr old dog guardian to spleen cancer. According to some there is a chance of pets getting spleen cancer from some shots they get.
I’d try fenbendazole for the cancer.

It’s showing promise in various human forms of cancer.

It doesn't work. The drug isn't absorbed by the digestive system of cats.
Thank you all for sharing your thoughts and your experiences. We are pretty well keeping in touch with our vet and keeping him close by. He is eating something every day, albeit not what I think is enough but he seems comfortable. He'll walk around for a little bit, with his tail up and meow for us to come by him close and pet him a little bit. Then he'll wander off and sleep for a while then come out.
That's our plan for now just to keep him comfortable unless we see a major decline or change. It is just so sad seeing him and the thought of him gone kills me. But it isn't about us and our feelings but making sure he isn't suffering. Ugh.
My other two cats, Clem and Bella must be super in tune to what is going on. Clem who normally gravitates towards my wife has been by my side every chance and Bella more frequently hopping up on my lap sitting with me at night. They also go up to Charlie and check on him but don't stress him out or try to cause him any trouble (the usual playing or banter cats do to one another).
It is pretty wild to me to see how these two are coming up to me to almost comfort me. God bless them both, I wonder how they feel.
Thank you all.

He hadn’t eaten since last Wednesday besides some small scraps of chicken and a couple table spoons of cream. Sunday night he tried jumping up on the bed and was too tired and missed a couple of times. He was still mobile but just looked tired.
Unfortunately yesterday, Mr. Charlie crossed over the rainbow bridge.
He was always the first to greet any company and had no problem butting his head up to their hand. There wasn’t no one whom visited that didn’t know him.
He’s at peace now.

When it's time, it's time. You were fortunately to have had such a great pet.
I'm so sorry.
I know how devastating it can be. You gave him a great life and his gift to you was his companionship.
We just put down our 15-year-old Cat. He was always great to have around, and we miss him dearly. He was starting to suffer, and we thought it best to put him down instead of putting him through a bunch of stuff that would have made him unhappy. Our Vet even recommended it.
I totally agree with your decision...sorry. No need for him to suffer needlessly. I hate parting with any pet...its one of the hardest things to do, for me, in this life.
