He's the best cat in the world...

The thing is to consider 3 questions, as I just went through this a year ago.

1. How much can you afford to spend? At some point you just can't do anymore
2. Exploratory surgery just sounds bad..... Especially when coupled with "no guarantees"
3. How old is said cat, mine was 12 he had cancer. They said we can poke around inside him and maybe get you 6 months. We said no thanks to cutting our cat open for a lousy 6 months, especially considering the quality of life. He wasn't himself.....you could see he was miserable.

At some point and believe me I know where you are at, it's the hardest thing to do. But put yourself in the same situation would you want someone tearing you open for "no guarantees". You sometimes have to realize you gave your cat the best XX amount of years he could ever have. You've done the right thing and no cat could have wished for better.

This was just my experience I wanted to share, I hope it helps out.

I feel for you, it's a horrible situation. But remember you gave the cat the best life a cat could ever have. I hope this turns out as good as it can brother. Good luck!
