The verdict is in and I've got exactly what the Woman was scared I have. She is currently blaming herself for not getting me to the vet sooner, the Awesome Man for telling her he didn't think i was getting thin, and the stupid VET who on her last night at the practice didn't happen to think (from my very evident blood test results) there was much of a problem and "suggested" an ultrasound. But, we have to move forward and stop the blame game right? We seem to have caught it early and I've been hanging out with the techs at the hospital so I'm hanging.
My vet specialist is super smart and super nice and for once she was happy the Woman was educated in what was going on and what she is going to expect. We don't have the details yet, and they are trying an appetite stimulant tonight, but this means I'm likely going to have a feeding tube inserted. The humans will have to feed me 4x a day and it could be a few weeks, it could be up to a few months, I just have to decide when I want to eat again. The humans are encouraged that I was eating yesterday but just haven't eaten since I've been at the vet.
The cause is unknown. They do know I don't have cancer (YEAH!!!) and the rest of my insides were good looking. The humans really suspect it is Rufus. Rufus has attached himself to the Tall Man even more than Kaze is attached to the Woman. Rufus thinks the Awesome Man is his mother. So we don't think we can kick him out of the house and I very well may have just gotten depressed and I'll get over it. All of this is unknown and just guessing.
So thank you all for your continued purrs, it helps us all so much knowing we aren't alone.

Oh Chase we are so sad that you were so depressed. We are glad they caught it and well force feeding is no fun (as we know from Chey) and hope that your appetite gets whetted with the stimulant. purrs.
We are purring and praying for you Chase! Please eat your foods, okay?
Chase dude, please start eating. Your insides need it! We will purr for you hard. Get better soonest.
Dood...remember when Buddah showed up here and I got real sick and wouldn't eat? Yeah...this sounds really familiar. My liver was wonky, too, but I never got an ultrasound, just antibiotics for like a couple years... BUT, the appetite stimulant worked on me and I started eating.
I hope you start eating soon, too. I think it was canned chicken that finally got me to want to eat something. The people tried onion-free turkey baby food too but I just didn't want it, though I would try it now, I think...
It really really sucks when you don't feel like eating, cause eve when you WANT to eat again, it's like you don't know how to get started.
Paws are crossed, dood...

So now Chase, we have to make sure you get better, and quickly! We can understand that you are sad because your awesome man is having to share the love more, but it also sounds that you are beginning to appreciate your Mom more. That's a good thing. So be a good boy and eat up!

Dear Chase,
We are old frieds of yours asking you to please eat. We have our own 2nd Orinch Menis who our mommy brought home a month ago. He barely comes out of his room and if he does the girls hiss at him. Jake, our first ginger is the only one who sort of accepts him. He still runs in fear if the new guy makes a move towards him. It's hard allowing another stinky cat into the family.
We're all wishing you the best. We're thankful for the info on pet insurance. Mom thought it was a lot more expensive.
Purrs to you from Tyler's family,
Cookie, Sophie, Jake and Scootch.
Chase, we are purring and purraying that you will start eating on your own again ... we are sending big time (((hugs))) your way to help you out!
Purrs and headbutts,
Sabrina, Sam and Simon
Knives says, "I get annoyed about the new 'baby', stinky ole Audrey getting more attention than I do just because she's younger and newer to the Horde lalalalalala. Mommy made me a valerian sock of my very own! That helped me feel better and when I get feeling bad mom lets me sniff some directly from the bottle and even puts a little bit out for me or gives me a drop or two of valerian tea.
Everycat in the Teenage Mutant Ninja Kitty Horde are sending purrs to you. Please make sure you eat. Moms get really really really worried when you don't and then they cry all over your fur and it takes fur-evah to get that darn stuff out of your fur!! Take care!"
Sending purrayers of thanksgiving that it isn't cancer and snuggles to encourage you to eat on your own...so much better than the tube and you get to taste your food too!
Rumbles of purrs,
Taz, Runt, Charles and mommy, Anna in IL

Dear Chase,
It looks very seriously~

Purrs of comfort.
We are sending HUGE rumbly healing purrs. Get well soon.
We are sending our best purrs and lots of gentle headbutts to you Chase. We hope you will feel like eating soon.
Luv Hannah and Lucy xx xx
Chase, you have to start eating again, build up your strength and kick a little Rufus butt when he tries to muscle in on your Tall Man. I found out that Mom paid me just as much attention after Emma came to live with us as she did before, she just needed a little prompting sometimes. When I was reluctant to eat when I was so sick Fancy Feast Elegant Medleys got me to eat more.
Herman
We are sending HUGE purrs to Chase!! We purr he will get his appetite back and start recovering.
Purrs Tillie and Georgia
My sisters and I are all sending you lots & lots of purrs Chase and we'll all be cheering you on to start eating!
Feel better soon, Chase! I am purring for you to recover your appetite and start eating real good.
Chase we are purring for you. Paws crossed you get over your depression and start eating soon.
Oh, maybe the Tall Man can make some time for just you and him without Rufus around. Mommy makes sure that Arty and Scylla both have separate time with her cause Scylla was jealous when Arty first came to live with us.
Chase, we're purring hard for you and sending you universal healing Light. Please, please do start to eat soon...If it's kitty depression, there could be help for that too. We hope the appetite stimulant works, assume you'll try that before a feeding tube?
Paws crossed for you!
I'm purring and purraying for you, too, Chase. Your mom and dad should NOT blame themselves or Rufus. I'm thankful its treatable and that you're in such a loving family!
We'z sorry Rufus made you feel bad but we'z betting yoo will get over it. Purring and purraying yoo start eating. We refuse to eat at da vet too...until we get really hungry.
Chase, we are sending some very big purrs your way. PLEASE eat your Num-Nums! Purrs to your Mom too.
