Signs that a cat has cancer?

• Answer #1

  I had to have my cat put to sleep in May because he had Leukemia. He was suffering.

  He started out by not eating. He would drink water till he nearly busted though. He was very confused and he moved his head from side to side as if he were seeing things that weren't there.

  He began to just lay around and when he did get up, he had difficulty walking, until, finally, he didn't even try anymore. He peed on himself.

  The Vet checked him out on several occasions for other things. A lot of you know the story of Toonces.

  The main thing, I think, is that if you see that your cat is not eating (even salmon or tuna), take him to the Vet. Our Vet didn't find out that Toonces had Leukemia, until they did blood work. Have that done if you can.
