Trouble breathing

The tumor is now pushing to close off her second nasal passage, so Kitty is snorting and breathing very loudly now. She's back to drinking lots of water. I've also started to give her baths because it's very difficult for her grooming to keep up with the fluids that keep coming out. We know her time is coming up soon, yet it's hard to know exactly when because she still has so many social moments and purrs every night.

Still a trooper


Kitty cat is looking as beat up as our bathroom lately, but she's still hanging on in there. One nostril is completely closed up by the tumor, and the other one is getting pretty close also. The growth seems to be spreading at the bridge of her nose, to that area has been getting wider apart as well as lumpier. Left eye is a bit watery and squinty, and she continues to leak out her forehead. We're going to start giving her paw baths now because she's having trouble keeping them clean with her regular routine. On the eating end, she still has an appetite for hand-feed babyfood and has been holding steady at 5.4 lbs. She still sleeps with us and purrs and we're just taking it day by day.
