I am going to lose another Baby

well my sweet cat stinky has not been feeling well for a while, upset stomach, diarrhea and such. I took him to the vet in May and they really weren't sure what it was. They put him on antibiotics and that seemed to help for a while. But the past week he was not doing well again and he is losing weight to I took him back and they found a tumor in his intenstinal area. At his age (12) he is not the best candidate for surgery and they also feel its not even a sure bet they would be able to remove it anyway. So I have decided to let him be in peace and not treat him as a science experiment or a pin cushion. They gave him 2 months and sent me home with more antibiotics and prednisone to try and slow the growth. He seems in good spirits and more like his old self with the medication. I am heartbroken. I cannot imagine losing this cat he has been the one constant in my life and a very good friend. I also feel bad for my other cat chloe. She adores her big brother and she is going to be lost as well. I had to put my other cat down last October and this year I am going to lose another baby. I am trying to just enjoy my time with him but this really is unfair. I don't even want to think about it.

I am so sorry. Its the hardest thing you'll ever do, to lose a beloved pet. You have given him love and a wonderful home for 12 yrs, one lucky kitty. Just enjoy your time with him and keep him comfortable. Donna

Kat402004,


I am so sorry to hear about Stinky. I know exactly how hard this is, I lost Itchy in May 2004 to a long battle with intestinal cancer. It is horrible.

Thank you so much for your kind words and prayers. i am trying to spend as much time with him as possible and enjoy the time we have left. He is in good spirits and still chasing critters around the yard. I will check out the link you sent. As for the nutritional supplement which one is that. I was looking into getting something like that so he can keep up his strength. Also I am going to purchase one of thoe handprint kits and make and impression of his paws (yes I snitched the idea!) I know I will love to have that. As for today he seems good and the weather is wonderful. He is hanging out on the deck and enjoying the birds and the smells. Thank you again for all your prayers and kind words

Hi again.


One of the suplements is called Prozyme. I have close to a full 200 gram bottle of it. It helps the cat break down the food to get more from it. If it is something you want you are welcome to it.


Also, I heppen to sell the paw print frames. I do not believe you will find a better price than what I sell them to iVillage cat board members for (others have bought them), and any profits I make go to animal charities. I have all 4 frames in stock. If you go to my website then the store link from the nav menu you can see them. If you want any then email me and I'll give you a special price. :) I am sure you have seen the image in my signature of my Itchy's frame *sniff*.


I am glad you are spending the extra quality time with him. If you didn't you would be sorry later, and it will mean a lot to you soon enough that you did. :)


Take care,
