Thanx jasperlou, dunno anything about pancreatitis but hope jasper bucks up; cats sure grow on ya don't they! x
Sorry bout your news Tim, and totally agree with your reluctance to commence distressing treatment cos we had that last year with our Paddy (also hyperthyroidsm) and we really regretted what he went through with his treatment over his last few weeks x
Kozycatz, vet said diuretics wdn't offer any comfort cos tumour too big and all he'd do was pee all over (he still refuses to do anything like that in the litter tray we've dug out again and insists on dragging himself to bottom of garden - cats really do have pride don't they); our Paddy previously had "wonder" injections (dunno if they were steroids) which picked him up for bout 8 hours every time, but wore off real quick x
ErbslinTrouble - turned his nose up at pilchards, but still had another go at chicken; his younger compadre thinks its christmas, keeps "discovering" saucers of chicken/milk/pilchard/tuna etc all over floor where we've been tempting Nala!
Thanx for ur suggestion jeannie, but mine have always let us know loudly they're not keen on dry food; we only offer a little when they come in too late to have wet x
On the positive side - Nala now has the bulk to push doors open which he couldn't do previously, and he's jumped on the bed these last few nights and it feels like a tank's landed!!

hi, sadly nala died last week, but vet had warned me it wd be quick x

Scratcher just caught up on this thread,really sorry to read about your beloved Nala,at least it wasn't drawn out for her and in time you'll smile at the memory's you created together

Thank you all for your kind expressions, bless old Nala, he leaves many memories and a stockpile of antihistamine cream after his meant to be affectionate but deadly playfighting with us!!
