As long as your cat seems pain-free, there are things you can do to prolong his life reasonably and comfortably. As to why he seems to be better, if the vet gave sub-Q fluids (and likely did), he is probably feeling much better and hydrated. Sub-Q fluids are given under the skin to re-hydrate the cat. It looks like they are injecting a "bag of water" under his skin. Your vet can give sub-Q and can also show you how to and it can generally add time and quality to his life. Some folks choose to do sub-Q on their own at home and can add up to a couple years to the cat's life (again depending on how far along your cat is). It is a choice you have to make, but for now, since you want more time, talk to your vet about your vet giving sub-Q so his time with you is comfortable and quality.
