What a long day. I’m craving Thai coconut curry and have everything I need to make it, but all I want to do is medicate my cat, change into my pyjamas, then fall asleep watching something that makes me happy.

Oh, I know. I’m not waiting until he feels horrible to bring him in. I’m just relieved that we’ve gotten to have a last couple of days where he is feeling so much better and so much more like himself. But he’s dying and without the medication he’s on now, he wouldn’t be OK.

Moe @mfiof.bsky.social · 4d

It’s the very hardest. Especially when the meds are making him more like himself right now.

I’ve been watching bad rom-coms all day.

Whoever uses a leaf blower at 7:30 am deserves a wedgie.

I wish it would just stay dark all day. It always feels more safe, less stressful. I don’t have to answer to anyone. No decisions need to be made.

Holy F. NS health is using an AI chat bot called Nova and their recent Facebook post encourages people to ASK THE AI CHAT BOT about their SYMPTOMS. This is absolutely wild. www.yourhealthns.ca #nspoli

Minou is medicated and has been eating more today than he has in several days. He’s still enjoying scritches. I may seek out medication of my own after all of this. I’m still grieving the loss of his older brother Eli who died from a nasal tumour earlier this year.

Poor Muriel knows something is up and has been calmer than usual around Minou and staring wide-eyed at the human with the mournful noises coming out of her.

We returned today for an ultrasound and the vet confirmed that it’s lymphoma. He has a mass in his stomach pressing against his kidney. They shot him up with pain meds and an anti-inflammatory and told me to monitor him closely the next 24-48 hours, but to be prepared to make that decision.

Went into urgent care w/Minou tonight. He got fluids, more meds. The vet thinks it’s abdominal—possibly a mass. She urged me to take him to my regular clinic for an ultrasound tomorrow, talked about quality of life/euthanasia. I’m an absolute mess. He peed in the carrier on the way home.

Naw. It’s the least I can do. I wish I could do more.

Moe @mfiof.bsky.social · 10d

Yeah. I’ve been fostering and adopting for over 30 years. I’ve dealt with renal failure, hypothyroidism, auto-immune disorders, saddle thrombosis, heart issues, asthma, etc. This is new.

I wish I had someone to come do my dishes, heal my cat, make me food, and just hug me for a while. I really hate this whole living thing right now.

Moe @mfiof.bsky.social · 11d

Minou isn’t eating today, even after meds. He!s super low-energy and I’ll have to force-feed him again.

Moe @mfiof.bsky.social · 11d

Thanks! I hope so, too. I adopted him in 2013 when he was 11 months old and he’s never been sick a day in his life until this year.

They could only run a limited number of tests on Friday due to my limited budget. They gave him a physical, ran a full blood panel, a urinalysis and a test for pancreatitis then gave him fluids and some meds. I’m getting antibiotics and scheduling imaging tomorrow when my GoFundMe funds transfer.

Better today with meds, although we don’t know what’s wrong.

She’s so sweet!

Moe @mfiof.bsky.social · 12d

I haven’t eaten in almost 24 hours. I probably should.

Moe @mfiof.bsky.social · 12d

This little one has been wondering why I’ve been sitting on the bed with her older brother all day, watching each and every little nibble he takes. I took a break and we played for a while.
