My Dad is thinking of taking my older cat to the vet. I said I didn't have the money yet (assuming it's going to be a few hundred dollars and I suppose I could always put it on a credit card) but my Dad said he would front the money. I was talking to my parents about how my older cat, Esther, has been losing weight. She's eating, she's not lethargic, she's pooping, she's peeing, but she seems a bit irritable (although she is old and I think she has earned the right to be irritable) but I don't know if she is in any pain. And the losing weight thing is scaring me. I looked online and you know the Google doctor said it could be diabetes. If so, that can be treated, so that's good. But if it is something else....I'll keep the couch posted. I don't know when we can get her in but hopefully soon. Kit
