I had a cat had been used as a stud cat for 2 years and then I had him neutered and kept him as a pet. Of course that was back in the days when dry food was not thought to be harmful even tho I was feeding them a top of the line brand. This cat had 3 UTIs over several years that were successfully cleared by medication. Then when cat was 15 y.o. he had a urinary blockage, but this time medication didn't help, and it was determined he had a bladder tumor. At that time the vet deemed it was likely malignant and inoperable (this was in the early '90s), and our boy was euthanized. Had it happened today maybe they would have operated or suggested some sort of cancer treatment?
Did you get a second opinion on your cat?
