So so sorry that Papa Bear is still having horrible health issues! I'm right there with you with my Scout. Have they checked his thyroid? Because Scout has a lovely combo of kidney disease and hyperthyroid, and the thyroid issues make her lose interest in food and therefore waste away to nothing, which sounds like what might be going on with Papa. Problem is, if you treat the thyroid, the kidney disease gets worse. So we're basically marking time over here, knowing that she has two terminal conditions, and trying to keep an eye on her quality of life. So far it seems manageable, but yeah, when it gets to the point of having to drag them to the vet all the time for unpleasant procedures, and they are miserable at home, too... Sigh. It's so sad! I send you both many hugs. I've had to put down many cats in my life--probably six or seven, though only four of those were "my" cats and not someone else's in my household. It sucks. A lot.

Anyway, I'm thinking of you guys and hoping for the best outcome possible.

Love you.c
