Wean - thanks, she is necking the kitten food with gusto at the moment and most of it is staying down for more than half an hour. She had two pouches yesterday.
I am not sure about what will happen. I found a patch of real vomit rather than the usual 'ate too fast, brought it up, looked confused, begged for more' stuff that is evil cat's trade mark for the second morning running. The tablets for the pain are not good for the kidneys, and I have been told to watch out for dire rear and vomiting. If that starts, then we have to stop the pain killers. There are other painkillers, but the vet has agreed that it will be impossible to give her tablets. We can't do blood work, it is just not possible, so we can't see with accuracy what stage her kidneys are at.
The vet thinks that if the painkillers are stopped then evil cat will be in too much pain to continue with any sort of quality of life, not even the 'sit in the sun shedding on clean washing, gloating' sort. I cannot face the thought of her in agony - and it is her lower spine that is severely affected.
I am watching her litter tray like a hawk.
Also, despite being tanked up on kitten food, she still begged for chips that she didn't actually want yesterday. I suppose she is just keeping her paw in.

Oh I so feel you (both)- just keep doing what you're doing, and hope for the best.
It's heartwrenching though isn't it to see them like that ?
Small portions and often is the way to go ..........
hugs ...............
Wean - thanks - it is so hard, but evil cat has been failing for some time. At least, physically she has been failing. The attitude is still going strong. I am definitely watching the portions little and often now. WS x
