Went to the vet

I have to put my cat down :( He's 18 years old and I've had him for almost my whole life so far. He has to be put down because he has a tumor on the bridge of his nose. I explained a lot in the 'post your pics' thread and it grossed Waar out, so yea. He's losing a lot of weight and can't seem to keep food down anymore. He's still very loving and affectionate despite all the fluid that comes out of the bridge of his nose and the side. His left eye is starting to sink in too, because when fluid builds in the bridge of his nose it expands and it covers most of his left eye. He's very much like my child. He always sleeps with me, wants on my lap or wants held. If you don't give him attention he'll demand it. He came when he was called, but then he went deaf. So he started coming from hand signs, like motioning to come over here. I have pictures if you guys are interested in looking, I was going through them and putting them together before I had to take him to the vet tomorrow: Spoiler: The little black cat is Jazz, he's our newest addition to the family. He was the youngest and now he's the largest by far (we have one other cat - 3 total, soon to be 2) But he's quite a character, as you can see. This was the latest picture of my cat. My mom took it while I was sleeping this morning, and didn't take in consideration for my state of dress. So I had to crop it. Yea, my hair is beautiful. But he has this fascination with my hair, he paws at it all night and by morning it looks like a birds nest. Anyway guys, wish me luck! I'm not sure how I'll handle saying goodbye tomorrow. My mom had me call the vet but after I started setting up an appointment I started to cry and had to give the phone to my mom.

Ziggy, I'm really sorry for your loss. I've never had any pets larger than a hamster so I don't know what it's like to put your pet to sleep, but it can't feel very good. It's good that you still have two kitties to help keep your spirits up.

I know I posted oodles of pics, but I had this that I wanted to show how he demanded attention. When he was younger he'd just jump on my legs. This is also before the tumor got big and his nose just bled a little sometimes from the nostril.

Anyways, this'll be my last post on this thread. Thanks for the condolences guys. I think I'm just a late bloomer with losing someone in my life. It seems everyone around me has dealt with it at least once.
