This morning she was coughing and has also had a sloppy bowel accident outside. She wasn't interested in breakfast even though I didn't come down until after 9 and she wasn't about when DH left at 7. He normally feeds her before he goes. I had to put the plate under her nose to get her to come and ear.
Her back legs are a bit wobbly and I will take her for a jab on Monday to hopefully get some relief. She didn't wee over night so that is postiive but when I was comforting her when she was coughing it really hit me that she is very old and isn't my baby anymore 
.
She has lasted for DD's birthday but I am not sure she will make her own .
I have just put a towel on the sofa for her to sit on, just in case, but she wasn't impressed and has jumped down on to the floor.
My cat is getting to the end of her life and I am not sure I will ever get over it 
.
She means the world to me, is the only thing in the world that is 100% mine, and I will miss her so much.

I think this might be FABCat's last thread

Great to hear that she's rallying.
(What meal do you have planned for her, for her birthday?)
Desperate for balloons but she is scared of them. Still might get helium ones that are up out of her way
Lately she has enjoyed tuna, tinned custart and home made strawberry ice cream 
.
We joke that FABCat heard DH say he would like a dog and she is going to live forever so he can't have one .
OopsCat is rallying now he's on thyroid meds, he has gained weight and looks more like his old self. We are spoiling him shamelessly and he is having a bit of our dinner every night - he likes gravy, and bolognese, but wasn't keen on curry!
to cattitude!Hurray for OopsCat.
FABCat would like to invite OopsCat and all the lovely cats mentioned on here to her 18th a week on Friday well she would if she knew I was planning a party for her
We will stick our tongues out at the posters who said weeks ago it sounded like she was at the end and all of us will raise a glass to this wonderful cat who has been my most lovely lovely amazing fluffy naughty friend for almost 18 years.
DH brought fish and chips for our tea. FABCat thought she was included in that. She sat right next to me, really close, then shuffled in a bit more AND PUT HER PAW ON MY LAP TRAY 
. Obviously I gave her some fish but she just wanted more and more and more and more. DH took my plate away when I had had enough and has put a cover over it. FABCat sat on the floor looking longingly up at the counter.
I thought she was ill!!!!
I might cancel her party .
She left us a puddle all over the floor. Can't remember the last time she did it but she had her last job Monday just gone and can't have another until 3 weeks on Tuesday.
She just tried to jump up onto the sofa and slipped back . She looked scared . She let me lift her up and is now curled up, washing her tail.
On a happier note, she did play for a bit this morning .
I've never used it on any of mine but yes - it seems to be for osteoarthritis etc and also helps for cystitis.
She'll be enjoying all the love and cuddles as usual though.

That's called taking the mickey!
Mine has clocked the fact that I really really want him to eat breakfast and tea take his meds and - while deigning to eat his food - has managed to up the ante from Whiskas pouches to Gourmet and Sheba pouches. I catch him looking at me very knowingly sometimes.
