My cat is 16 years old and ive had him since he was a kitten. For the last 6 nights he has woken me up crying at my door to get out. He doesnt leave my master bedroom (large enough for him!) becuz my sister and her friends are allergic. Anyway, s icouldnt let him out. I got him to calm down the last few nights, but my mom thinks it might be his way of wanting to find a place to die. Im devastated. I am taking him to the vet in a half hour. wish me luck.

thanks for listening

Update: So i called the vet. and let me say i HATE this other doctor!!!!!!!!! My cats vet (dr gross) is wonderful.....today he is out. So Dr. Lopez is in and supposed to be the one to call me, well that didnt happen!! I called back at 2:00 and the receptionist asks him to talk to me, which he says he is too busy to do! So the receptionist tells me that Dr. Lopez said the blood work looks ok.

Looks ok?!!!!?!!?! What the hell does that mean? I mean think about it, yes you can look at it in a good way (at least try) by saying- it looks ok so maybe hes not that sick.....but Dr. Gross told me yesterday that Boots is DEFINITLY sick. ......so if he is definitly sick, how is everything ok?
am i crazy?

ok the good thing is that it makes me think it cant be cancer.

So Dr. Lopez asks the receptionist to have me call back monday to Dr. Gross for the results. NO CHANCE. they must be crazy!! Boots has been crying all night for a week, been acting different, barely eating and they want me to wait til monday to talk to them?! yes im venting but im furious!! its like my baby and ur telling me hes sick but wait to find out whats wrong

ok so my response to this was thats not the way its going to go. I was promised by Dr. Gross that i will get the results today, thus i told the receptionist to make sure i get the results today by phone by the dr, or i will stop by on my way home from work for the results............i am not waiting for my cat to suffer, they are crazy if they think i will.

Thats my vent, im furious.

OMG Elyse. I don't want to scare you, I don't. I can't even bring myself to say it because I'm going to start crying at work. But this is what I was told as well, and you better make damn sure that you get more definitive results today even if you have to march in yourself to get them, because those symptoms are not 'ok', regardless of what the bloodwork says, believe me. Sending you lots of hugs and prayers, please keep us posted, and if you need to talk please FM me.
