re: #77 Daniel Ballard

Oh hell. Just found out my oldest cat probably has cancer. Time to take her home for a time of utter spoiling. Then I have to face a vet with the needle for her. Shit. That’s my little lap cat. The one that follows me all around the house and sleeps under my arm in winter.

My condolences, DB. *hugs*

I went through the exact same thing about this time 8 years ago. I had a wonderful, loving lap cat that was a big fat ball of fur, and she ended up diagnosed with oral cancer. By the time we found it, it had already spread and metastasized in her system, so I took her home and spoiled her rotten until her body just couldn’t handle it anymore and I took her and put her down.

It was easily one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to do. I was so upset for ages. She was a good friend and I still miss her. I can definitely relate to what you’re going through right now.
