I got a similar story...with slightly different specifics.
I have a cat. An old cat. Born in 1993...so I guess he's 20 years old now. When I moved to Vegas in 2008 I took him to the vet because his eyes were glazing over. I thought it was cataracts.
They did a bunch of tests and told me it was a brain tumor and he didn't even need to get any of his yearly shots because he wouldn't be alive long enough. So he hasn't been to the vet since 2008.
Well...he's still alive. Damn cat is like the Keith Richards of cats. lol
Last month I noticed something wrong with his left eye. I went to touch it and he freaked out.
I took him to the vet.
His eyeball had EXPLODED from the pressure of the brain tumor!!!
I had noticed that he had been kinda listless the month before and was barely eating. I figured it was getting close to his "time".
Well, the vet cleaned what was left of his eyeball out of the socket and sewed it shut. Took him back in last week and had the stitches removed.
I guess his eyeball blowing out relieved the pressure. He's been eating like a horse, purring, playing, and acting like his old self. (except he can't see, so he bumps into shit)
