Hi all my 15 yo male cat unknown breed has been acting off lately. He’s been missing meals, change in behavior and hiding in dark enclosed spots. He’s still drinking water occasionally and will eat occasionally as well but I pretty much have to bring the food to him he doesn’t give much initiative. So anyway they found he has high liver enzymes via blood work so they said to give him denamrin but this pill is huge. FYI they said otherwise he’s relatively healthy for his age but that’s just based on blood work they did say risk of cancer and other things as well but I just don’t see a point in spending thousands for more tests due to his age. I just tried a few times to get him to swallow it and there’s just no way he’ll do it he even threw up after me trying. Are there any other options? Tbh based on his behavior I feel he really doesn’t have much time left maybe days or weeks if lucky but still I guess I wanna give him the best shot but at the same time I really would hate to make him more uncomfortable than he already is. I feel terrible for making him throw up like that especially since he’s already not eating and drinking much.

I (22M) am in a tough spot with dating right now. About a year ago I had my first relationship. It only lasted around two months but I really fell for her. She was everything I wanted in a girl and honestly the only person who ever really understood me. She ended things because she had a lot of personal issues to work through from past abuse, absent father, bad relationships, etc.

After the breakup we stayed emotionally attached and were still each other’s comfort person whenever we needed someone to talk to. She knew I wanted to get back together, and while she admitted she still had feelings too but it just never happened. Recently we both agreed it wasn’t healthy and decided to stop talking completely. It’s only been a few weeks and it’s been really hard on me. I genuinely loved her and part of me still hopes she comes back but I’m keeping my distance.

What makes it harder is that she told me she doesn’t feel good enough right now and doesn’t want to give me or anyone for that matter a version of herself that isn’t the best she can be.

Now the advice part that I need is that since this break up an about a year ago now I’ve seen and gone on dates with three other girls. They were all genuinely nice people, but I just can’t seem to feel anything for anyone else. Now I’m wondering if I should keep trying to date and push through it or just take some time for myself for now. I want a relationship it’s something I’ve always wanted but I just feel stuck and don’t know what to do here.

Edit-Just so maybe you all can make more sense of this I’m a bit inexperienced with dating I definitely had a major “glow up” over the past year became much bigger and stronger and started my career as a big city fireman so this attention from girls is definitely a bit new to me.
