I'm so sorry to hear about your cat's diagnosis. It must be a difficult time for you both. When a cat has terminal metastasized cancer, it means that the cancer, unfortunately, has spread to other parts of their body. This can cause a range of symptoms, including weight loss, decreased appetite, fatigue, or breathing problems.
At home, the goal is to keep your cat as comfortable as possible. Offering small, frequent meals of their favorite foods can help if they're eating less. Ensure they have cozy, quiet places to rest and easy access to food, water, and litter facilities. Gently petting and spending time with them can also provide comfort.
Watch for signs that might mean they're in significant discomfort or pain, such as hiding more than usual, vocalizing in distress, or having difficulty moving or breathing. If you notice these signs, it’s important to address them promptly.
