puck116-I used to have a cat named Snickers who looked just like your patches. She was a good cat but when she was 13 , she just quit eating. we had tests run and tried everything to get her to eat. I fed her with an eye dropper for 2 weeks, but couldn't afford to do more tests. Sadly we had to put her to sleep. It was so hard b/c there was not a viable reason like when our other cat had cancer. It's so hard when our pets pass on.
