Sorry to hear about your cat, btw. I hope that things continue to improve!
Well wishes to your cat too, Luv!

Sammy's problems started with Hyperthyroidism. We almost lost him then and eventually two years later. It starts with eating and drinking a lot, but they totally stop that soon. The condition can lead to an enlarged heart that will produce and dispatch blood clots. Sammy eventually died of Saddle Thrombus which was a big clot paralyzing his tail half. He died after hours of agony.
Your vet can right you up a pill for the condition that really manages the condition. It's not very expensive but it does great work for your cat. In case of Sammy it was given basically after the damage to his heart was already done.
BTW, I have never missed a pet like I miss my adorable Sammy.
