And I wish this was a joke, but it isn't 
Cat has been unwell for a week, eating bad and not having energy.
The vet took some photo's and it's either an inflammation or a tumor
I can give her some antibiotics, but pills are pretty much impossible with Nika so that would have to be at least three trips to the vet every two weeks and hope it goes away.
The other option is to get a scan and be sure if it's the one or the other.
In case of a tumor they have to do another check to see if it's treatable.
I'm going for the scan and hoping for the best.
If they can scan next week the chances of it being treatable, if it's a tumor, are higher than after the six weeks of antibiotics.
I very much hope it's just an inflammation caused by her chronic sneezing disease.
Unfortunately, all I can do is wait
To end with a joke... Would they do a CAT scan or a PET scan?

They do an NMR - No Mouse Required. 
Hope everything turns out OK.

I'm sorry to hear that. I hope for the best for your cat. I lost my maine coon to cancer so I understand. They're family.

A Maine coon?! That's quite the familiar.

Don't tell my other kitties but he was my favorite.

They really are.
Nika and I eat and sleep together.
When she's in a lazy mood and doesn't sit with me I really miss her.
That's always now (had to carry her to bed yesterday while I usually can't carry her at all)

I wish you both well.

My sympathies and I hope it turns out to be just an inflammation.

First time I can think of that I really hoping a cat gets an inflammation ...
Good luck to you and your little friend.

Best wishes from Bacchus and Hera (my two greyhounds). They like cats; unfortunately cats don't like them, including ours  .

I know how it feels as I lost some cats too, and although I always say "no new cats" it's hard to resist them.
So now we have two cats again (Maine Coon).

They do leave a very large "cat-shaped hole" in a home, don't they?

They sure know how to keep you busy, I'm feeling like the doorman as they expect me to open the backdoor all the time. They have cat flaps, but they prefer the "door service" 
|
|
|
|

Oh, I know that one!
My office is beside the front door, and Dij goes out the catflap, but won't come back in that way (unless a chicken carcass is being stripped). So if it's raining, he goes out, hurtles round the building and bangs on my window until I open the door and let him in. And dry him or he rolls his wet fur all over the desk, keyboard, books, paperwork, ... When he's dried to his satisfaction (and if I try to stop early my ankles get swiped at) he goes back out the catflap and the cycle repeats.
Mind you it does make his fur really smooth and soft!

It is very sad to lost a pet-friend...

Not as cuddly though

A baby elephant would probably outlive you, too.

All the best for your cat. Hope it turns out to be not complicated.
