My cat has feline cancer

[JudynTX]

My 15 yr old female calico had surgery a few weeks ago to have an ear polyp removed. It was sent to the lab, and it was confirmed last night that she has feline cancer. I'm devastated, cried a bunch last night. Can she be treated? The vet says yes, but that will include radiation, etc....and alot of $$$. I know what decision has to be made.



She's my child, since we don't have any of our own. The vet says to look for weight loss first, that's the beginning of the end.

I decided that instead of burying her, she'll be cremated, that way she will always be with us.

If there is anything good to come out of this, it's the fact that we found a stray, Astro. I believe he was sent to us to help with the grieving process.

Sorry about that. It's hard to lose a pet. Keep us posted.

at 15 and with all the expenses you may have to make some tough choices. your cat has had a long life and not sure how many more years would be ahead. sorry to hear about your cat though. pets can be the greatest of companions.

Sorry to hear about that. I've had to put down a pet and it isn't easy.

It seems like it's a bad season for feline pets.

I'm really sorry, Panda.

[Fpoonsie]

Damn...not a good month for cats.

I'm really sorry, PS. I know how much she means to you.

My advice: try to take your mind off it with some hot panda-on-panda action. [smile]

What, exactly, do you gain from this?

That's a tough break, PS. Sorry to hear. Hard as it may be, you should consider euthanasia, if need be, and spare your feline some pain. Take solace in the fact that you've provided her with a good life.

My parents had siamese cats that lived to be 17 and 16, respectively. They were brother and sister. When Mitzy (the female) died, it seemed to hit Fritzy (the male) pretty hard. He stopped eating, he hid from everyone in the family, he just wasn't the same cat. My mom took him to the vet when he started losing weight after a couple months and the vet told us he was dying. What the illness was, I don't remember. My mom made the choice to have him put to sleep. It was a hard choice but even as a kid, I understood.

Again, I'm sorry to hear about your cat. It's a tough thing to deal with.

Thanks for the warm sentiments, it means alot to me. I'm going to make her last days the most comfortable they can be. I will feed her steaks and lobster and her favorite - chicken. (Hopefully she will eat it)

I've already accepted the fact that she's going to kitty heaven., but preparing for it is the hard part. I found a place in Converse that cremates pets.

PandaSpur-
I am so very sorry to hear the bad news about your cat. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

[JudynTX]

My cat Patches went to kitty heaven last night. It was the most difficult decision I've had to make.

I miss her so much. She was very much loved.

[marini martini]

Sorry Panda.

Hard news... I can relate...
