I think I am losing a rescue cat I got 2 years ago.

He was 12 yrs old at the time. He is pushing 15 now. He was morbidly obese when I got him. I named him "Farley". He is a good weight now. Now he is being picky about food. Listless. I've seen this show before. He is current on shots. I'm giving him fresh water which he is drinking, which is a good sign. I also have an IV bag of ringers that I can administer but I am hesitant because when you start that it's only a matter of time.

Named him "Farley" because he was obese. It was an apt name because he was obese and also because Chris Farley was a good fella that tried to please people just like my buddy "Farley" has.

I want to laugh so I'll leave my favorite Chris Farley skit. If anybody cares keep my buddy "Farley" in your heart.

Man, that's hard. I saw my pet rabbit slowly die before my own eyes. Horrible.😢

On a serious note, that was cold.

I'm so sorry to hear that. That is a very traumatic event. I had a cat named "Tribble" for 17 years. He's now buried beside my house. I will keep Farley in my heart along with Tribble. Hang in there.

Just watched the skit. That is hilarious! It's not only the best Farley skit, it's one of the best SNL skits of all time! David Spade could just barely keep from laughing. And I wonder if the coffee table was planned, an ad lib, or just a happy accident.

PS Kudos for you for rescuing Farley. I've had three cats. Two were strays I adopted: Buddy and Tribble, and my current cat, Harry, is a feral who adopted me.

The trouble with Tribbles. Star Trek.

Harry, lol. I love feral cats.

Me too, especially Harry.

My deepest condolences. I lost my dog last year to cancer after 15 years of ownership and it still hurts. But the waiting part is the worst and I can definitely sympathize.

Also, good on you for taking in an old rescue with a condition in the first place - honestly, it takes a lot to look after any animal, but this was above and beyond.
