*update*
about an hour ago she crossed the rainbow bridge.
thank you everyone for all your words and your thoughts you dont know how much that has helped the last 24 hours.

excuse me while i go lose it.

She is 17. Traveled across country with me. Battled a hyper thyroid for the last 5 years. Almost crashed and burned twice from faulty meds and almost died 2 months ago with liver and pancreas issues. But she battled even through that and came back maybe not 100% but enough there that she was still doing most of her cat duties.

A couple days ago i noticed she was having difficulties getting up from a laying position first thing in the morning. Once up and moving around she would be mostly ok. Bad arthritis. Off balance. But over the last 48 hours she is having problems even in the sitting position to eat. She hasnt given up eating but she is real weak and eats on her stomach.

Vet told me she would be lucky to get through the last crisis two months ago so I guess I should be glad I was given that extra time with her.

I was hoping to get her through to at least the new year. 2016 has been awful. We lost my little brother and I had some medical issues that forced me to quit my job. I didnt want to lose her to this god awful year too but not looking like she's gonna make it.

I already made the appointment and unless she has some kind of dramatic turn around over night then tomorrow will be my last day with her.
