I have 3 cats, Gertie and Zoe both 15 and Leo - the only boy in the family whose 8. Leo has a thing for walking over my drawings and head butting me at 2am. The vet says she's never seen a cat that purred so much. And he likes full body massages. I said he was a boy right? Leo's been losing weight and I've been taking him to the vet every month or so. He just decided that he no longer liked the expensive food I get from the vet that he's eaten for 8 yrs. After much buying of every brand cat food out there, he finally started to eat again.
I took him to the vet yesterday and she felt a mass in his stomach. While the vet talked about chemo and radiation I thought of that cute little bundle of red fur with the orange nose I took home 8 years ago. The vet said the end result will be the same. I said no. I wouldn't put any creature - human or cat through that pain and discomfort. For now he's eating even though he's still loosing weight. I'm not going to think about what will happen tomorrow or next week or next month because then I'd start to miss him. I don't want to miss him before he's gone. I have to go now, Leo wants a massage.
