I think shes getting better

I don't mean to be pushy, but from your first posting everyone has agreed that's a cat that should see a Vet immediately.
My cat is MUCH better now and eating almost like normal.Whatever problem she had seems to be going away.

Maby I over exagerated on my first post.I thought she was having diahrrea 3 or 4 days but dont know for a fact because I only saw her go diahrrea twice.(I didnt see her every single time she had a bowel movement for those past 4 days).
 
Glad to hear she is feeling better. Please discontinue to give your cat milk though. They cannot digest it properly and it may be causing the diahhrea in the first place. also since she may be dehydrated still give her some canned wet food (if you don't have any you should buy some) and mix some water in with it. This is an easy way of getting fluids back into her. I don't think it would hurt to bring her to the vet anyways for a check up. Obviously you were pretty concerned or you wouldn't have posted. do what is right for your kitty. I have had some bad vets in my day but none of them would just put the cat to sleep, and most have been willing to work out some sort of payment plan and you can always use a credit card. 12 can be old for some cats but my Molly lived to 18 so don't give up on your kitty yet.
 
Also I just want to add that while your kitty appears to be feeling better that doesn't necessarily mean she is. My cat is very good and covering up illness. Only because I monitor my cats like a hawk that I figured out that Wilis possibly had a urinary tract infection (turned out to be bad stryuvite crystal formation). He was still eating and running around the house like normal but if I hadn't brought him to the vet for treatment he could have gotten very sick from it and who knows what might of happened. I think it's a defense thing for animals to not want to show they are sick if they can help it because a sick animal is easy prey for predators. Obviously I don't think your cat is worried about you eating it but I think it one of those innate/instinctual traits in animals.
 
And I'm just going to make a wild guess that she probally hasn't been to a Vet for a long time. If that the case she needs her regular shots too.
Not to harp on you more but I also wanted to be clear on this point.

I don't know how important the regular shots are, but I get them and a once a year check-up for my cats, better health care then my own, but they can't communicate their ills as well.

Good luck, Cat Daddy.
 
I think you should take your cat to a qualified vet and let him decide wat's wrong with her and get here treated properly.
I am a cat owner too and my cat's becoming very aggressive day by day.. I asked this question in a forum **Link to competing site removed by lymekaps** and got the answer too..you cat owners may also check it out.
