Any Vets In? - Cat losing weight - Not eating...
Discussion
....and appears to be licking his lips/lots of saliva. Breath that could stop a train. His purr sounds a bit wonky too 
He is getting on a bit and well into his teens, don't know eactly how old - I'm gutted as he's a good companion and dearly loved by my daughter. I really want to help the poor lad back to full health and vitality - but at the moment he won't even eat Tuna out of a can. Before I head to the vets - any ideas. Anybody had anything similar with their mog?
Any help anyone can give will be very greatly appreciated...

)Ex cancelled the pet insurance when she split last year so it could be a right old financial seeing too. He's worth it (what am I saying? 
).
As for the protein related diet - All he has eaten since I took him on is Tuna (Likes it spring water the bugger) and IAMs.
I usually add a bit of water making up a tuna-esque soup but he isn't even touching or drinking it.
Vet is booked for tomorrow night - Wish me luck

Ahhh Boll*xs. What a Crap nights sleep...
Well, the Vet diagnosed a mass (lump) in his gut, suggested at his tender age (Est 15+), that they may well be other complications but wouldn't know until she opened him up. £800-900 to do so.
I'm emotionally attached to the cat but justifying that sort of cash to maybe only prolong seemed foolish. He has had some palliative care by way of injections. Vit B and a steroid to try and encourage him back onto his grub and to keep him going at least until we get back from a short weekend break (they never go wrong at a convenient time - do they?). Tried to contact Ex but she basically isn't interested.
