Last Friday, Tolstoy started to meow all day and night (mostly) and walked around aimlessly between our bedroom and bathroom. I knew that something was not right with him. He was so old and possible he might have Dementia. He didn't show any pains but less activities. He stopped jumping to our bed as he used to. He slept a lot during the day but still ate and drank as usual.
He had been acting like this until last night...when I was sleeping and Mark woke me up to say goodbye to Tolstoy. When I walked in our bathroom, he started to walk weaker and weaker and then he collasped and closed his eyes. He tried to stand up and walked several times, but he was just too weak. Mark & I said goodbye to him and we thought he wouldn't make it last night.
We went back to bed but I couldn't sleep well at all. I just hope I could see his last breathing. Surprisingly, an hour later, he just woke up and pushed himself and walked again (slowly though). He had kept walking and going back to sleep then walking until morning.
In the morning, even though he still looked so weak, but he didn't look like he was going to die. I bought him soft cat food and he ate almost all and drank a lot. He must be very hungry since he didn't eat and drink last night. For me, he is a real fighter!
Mark just took him to a vet nearby to see if we can do anything to make him most comfortable. We are also prepared that he may not come back home if the vet suggests to put him to sleep.
Now, Sonya & I are waiting to see if he will be back home.
We love you, Tolstoy!
