Then he "fake ate" from his bowl, lapping his tongue but not actually touching the food. He had a few nose bleeds a few weeks ago. There is a thought that the cancer has spread to his brain. No use doing an MRI since even if they found something there is nothing to be done.
My condolences. When I had to put my first cat to sleep (she had been sick for a while) I got home one night and, like you, found her in an unusual position and just knew it was time.
