Cat Feeding
Try a kitty water fountain. It gives the cat access to flowing filtered water and would be very difficult to tip over. You only need to clean it about once a week and most cats love them. My cats like the Petmate Fresh Flow the best. If your cat enjoys drinking running water, you might try the Drinkwell Pet Fountain.

Cat Health
I won't lie to you. This is a very tough decision to make. Unfortunately, only you know when the time is right. If he has been to the vet recently, I would call my vet and ask for advice based on his current circumstances. If he hasn't been to the vet recently, take him in for an evaluation. Together you and your vet can decide if now is the right time. If it isn't, you can figure out what should you look for to let you know when the time will be right. Ask yourself this question: If I do nothing, am I prolonging his life or prolonging his death? When you know the answer to that, you will know what to do. For your own sanity, do what you think is right then try to have peace about it. When you lose peace about a decision like this, you lose the ability to deal with it and move on. And don't confuse peace with grief. You will still grieve whether at peace or not. At least that's what I took away from my first euthenasia experience in March. After your beautiful kitty has passed, some people are helped by kitty funerals, online support groups, etc. Don't be afraid to do this. Losing a pet is losing a member of the family. Your grief will be reasonable and justified. Peace be with you as you make this decision.
Cat Behavior
It is believed that cats (and dogs) do dream but no one really knows what they dream about. My cats have twitched, move their legs and growled while sleeping. I imagine they are upset if growling and running or batting playfully if they are moving their legs.
Cat Adoption
My favorite is the natural mink Tonkinese (like the one in my avatar).
