God once challenged a 9 or 10-year old friend of mine to really pour himself out in prayer before God on behalf of his sick cat. He reportedly gave it a fair effort, but not a really devoted one. God let his cat die. However, the same God that let his kitty die has healed many of his family members of incurable diseases after the fervent, and usually patient prayers of others. I also have been healed of lifelong maladies. Don't give up. Instead devote yourself more fully to Him. Consider the parable of the persistent widow. (Luke 18).
Realize, though, that contrary to a lot of the dribble that passes for Christian doctrine, it is not God's will to heal everyone in this life. Look at Paul, for example; he prayed to be healed three times and God just told him, "My grace is sufficient." (2 Cor 12:9) God spared John, but let Peter be martyred.
Recently, He spared my friend from almost certain death from an aneurysm. There are many more things He has blessed me with than that, but I think that is enough to share for now on that note.
One thing He has been teaching me is that when I choose to trust Him for something I can't see a way to do, He can answer in the most incredibly complex ways. How I love having Him for a friend! :-)
Why don't you just take your cat to a vet, instead of wasting time praying?
