I got a cat that has bad teeth, when we got him about 10 years ago we never think about it till couple years ago. His mouth smells like sh*t any cheap vets thats under about $200, i know vets in rolla, st.Louis want like $300-900 for teeth pulled
I remember down in Florida vets would want $30-90 and needed a shot it would be the cost of the shot and $5 for doing it
In rolla missouri they want $30 for a shot (different state different prices

I'm not saying the cat doesn't need to see a vet, but you can get rid of the smell if the cat will eat some Coconut oil with every meal. It's a natural anti-pathogen. Many pets have lost their mouth odor after having it regularly added to their diets.

IF I were a vet, I would want to charge extra for working on an unnecessarily smelly animal.
We bought 5 gallons of Virgin Coconut oil for $200, and it will last up to 3 years, unrefrigerated.
Everyone in our family eats it in their meals every day (including our pet), and dental pain has usually subsided without having to go to the dentist.
I'm on the West Coast, so not familiar with any vets in your area. Sorry.

I think my cat has become delusional?

He will look out the window day and night hissing, after he is done chasing nothing. I've caught him what seems to me like eating food or drinking water from appears to be a dish that isn't even there, no food, water, or dish. Sometimes he'll be jumping up and swiping at maybe a bird or insect or something that isn't there either, he'll just be jumping, swiping air. He also clings onto the sofa sometimes the way cats do when they're near or above a large body of water, like a pool, he's even used an invisible litter box. Sometimes, he'll fail to see things, sometimes right in front of him. He has walked into the pool which i had to fish him out of twice because either he couldn't find the edges, or he'll attempt to jump onto an invisible edge or raft, he will sometimes walk past me like i wasn't there either. I have him now in a cage for his own protection but sometimes, he'll either hiss, or walk into the cage door like it wasn't there, which i've now added padding. It has gotten so bad that he'll walk into walls or try to find his way out of a box because he thinks he's trapped, he'll even walk up to invisible people like they've called him or attack other, invisible cats or dogs. Sometimes now, whenever i call him, he doesn't know where to go or will run away for unknown reasons. I've taken him to several different vets but they all said there was nothing they could do and that I would need to put him down. Now, he's been sitting or laying in the corner for two days now with untouched food and water in front of him and looks really scared, i point it to him, but it's like neither i nor the condiments are there. He looks really scared and hasn't purred in a week, he's been delusional for 3 weeks now. I tried picking him up, even petting him but reacts in a very terrified and confused manner. I am now considering putting him down myself if he doesn't get better. What would be the quickest and most humane way, i can't help but to cry, i don't want it to end like this.
I've also tried whispering and telling him calmly that it will be alright, i also keep telling myself that to. I've also slept on the floor with him the past night.

BE *VERY* CAREFUL not to get bit!
I live in the rurals, and we had a rabid skunk which ran at nothing in the dark for hours, hissing . . . & turned up dead a day or so later . . . I'm sure it must have been rabid. . . At first my dog was out with it, and trying to chase it, but it would turn & rush toward him, but skid to a halt in front of the dog and hiss up a storm . . . it never bit, though. I was able to get a leash on the dog & bring him in, the looked out every so often with a flashlight, and saw the skunk rushing nothing in the dark for hours.

". . . There are two forms of rabies: paralytic and furious. In the early symptom (prodomal) stage of rabies infection, the cat will show only mild signs of CNS abnormalities. This stage will last from one to three days. Most cats will then progress to either the furious stage, the paralytic stage, or a combination of the two, while others succumb to the infection without displaying any major symptoms. . . .
Furious rabies is characterized by *extreme behavioral changes, including overt aggression and attack behavior*. . . ."

However . . .
Perhaps your cat might have a brain tumor, brain parasites, or some sort of poisoning to --or, *other* infection of-- his nervous system. Something certainly is seriously not right!
Being Very Careful not to get bit . . . IF you can get him to swallow it, you can try giving him some Virgin or Pure Coconut oil. (If they don't want to lick it up, or chew it (when its solid), I put a small piece in their mouth, hold it shut, & stroke the throat as it dissolves, encouraging them to swallow it.)
Coconut oil destroys the outer covering of pathogens which have such, and many do: bacterial, viral, fungal, & parasitic . . . though not all of them. It also digests SUPER EASILY, is ANTI-INFLAMMATORY, and is a SUPER RICH ENERGY food . . . burning like carbs for energy, but much easier to burn than any other fat.

By the way, the Rabies virus *is* a strain that *is enveloped,*
so --in my opinion-- something that Coconut oil may very well destroy.
But not necessarily immediately . . . I certainly would *not* rely on a single dose!
IF you decide to euthanize, I recommend that you allow a vet or humane, no-kill, shelter with the service to do it for you. The one in our area --for an extra fee-- allows you to remain with your pet during the process, if you want. Our shelter charges less than going to a vet for it. The only way to test for rabies, is to dissect the brain after death.
