Back in May my beautiful 16 year old cat had lymphoma and rapidly declined over a couple of days. I’d has her from being a kitten and was devastated. Now my Tom cat, my granny’s cat who we gave a home to when she had to go into a nursing home, is totally unbalanced. He has hyperthyroidism and is on daily pills, metal hips from being hit by a car age 5 and now he can’t walk without falling to the side, head is tilted. He’s 18 and has had a very lovely life but losing both cats within 4 months is horrible. We’ve suggested to dd1 that we will see how he is in the morning but it might be time. She’s very sad but okay. We’ve not told dd2&3 yet. They know he’s old and he’s poorly though. With everything else this year 2020 can quite honestly fuck off. Sad

I'm so sorry OP it's a horrible thing losing two much loved cats in a year.
i once lost all four in a year because they were a similar age and one got run over. It was the worst year ever.
16 and 18 are wonderful lifespans for a cat and we must learn to let them go as hard as it is.
My buns had a stroke this year too, she was walking round in circles and dribbling from one side of her mouth and I thought she's have to be put to sleep but she did recover, it turned out to be a trans ischaemic attack and she actually got better in a week, there hasn't been another one so far so don't rush into doing anything it could be a TIA.

We went to the vet today and they think he has an inner ear infection and it’s worth treating that first so he’s had antibiotics, steroids and anti sickness. Slightly scared re the bill but back on Tuesday for check.

Lets hope it’s that then.
