Hi all, to make a long story short I let my 91 year old Aunt move in with me and my Mom (I am a full time caregiver for my 94 year old Mom). My Aunt decided to move out (that's another story) and she refuses to give me her address so I don't know where she lives.
I have her cat Silver (18 year old female) for 4 months now. Silver is a sick cat as she urinates all over, ruined my piano, my couch, and the list goes on. I suspect she may have diabetes and/or kidney problems as she drinks water constantly.
I also noticed on and off blood when she urinates. Bright red blood.
I also have my own cat since he was a kitten and Silver has attacked him (he doesn't fight back as he's a very mellow cat). Silver is adding so much more stress to my life and I can't deal with this cat anymore. When my Aunt was living with my Mom and myself I noticed how much water she drank and how much she urinated. I said to my Aunt that Silver needs to see a vet and that I would bring her. My Aunt said "I don't have the money"...
So I am left with Silver and because I'm at my wits end I am going to make an appointment with my Vet. This is going to sound terrible but I hope the Vet says that Silver should be put down.
I live in a very small town in Vermont and there is only one shelter.
Any input would be appreciated. By the way Silver eats good and can be affectionate when she wants to.
