Elderly 16-year-old cat has intense surgery, he refuses to eat after surgery and cat mom worries for his well-being: 'I'm not ready to lose him'

Loss is a part of life, but it doesn't make it any easier to go through grief or sadness when you lose someone close to you. There's a hole there that can't be filled with anything else, and coming to terms with the loss is the best way to move on from it. The story below isn't about loss, but it centers around the potential for loss. The protagonist is a cat mom who's had her cat for 16 years, which is the age of the cat. Now that the cat is 16-years-old, he's having health issues. He has surgery to remove his bladder stones. After the vet, he's not at his full health. It's to be expected, but it doesn't make it easier. 

The old cat won't eat, won't drink. He still is trained to go to the bathroom, but since there's nothing there, he just sits next to his litter box confused. It's heartbreaking for the cat owner to see, and she's tried everything in her power to make her cat son eat, but he won't. She seeks wholesome internet advice on what to do for her cat, as she's not ready to lose her favorite person in the world.
