Welp.

Jan 14, 2017 5:03 AM

As the title says, welp. Today, I walked in my room and my cat was sitting on my bed. I went over and scratched his chin. I felt a large bump near the back. I cried. We've known he has cancer for a few days now, and they say he has maybe a month to live. I didn't think I would actually be able to feel it. This doesn't feel real. These past few months have been difficult with multiple family members (non immediate) passing away, and my dog almost dying from getting hit by a car. I just want this next year to be a peaceful, happy year. Here's to a happier new year, and a hopefully painless and happy ending to my kitties 8 and a half year long story.

Thank you all for your support. It means so much. In the mean time I'm trying to cherish the moments we have left and take a lot of pictures

Had to put our kitty Nemesis down for the same thing in December. I'm so sorry.

What a fantastic name your kitty had during its life.

Thanks. When we found him the litter had been abandoned. His brother ended up bullying him so it was Nemesis and Vader.

Fuck, my boys are nearly 8. I freak if I so much as step on their paws. I couldn't handle them getting cancer. Hope he goes peacefully.

Yeah and now I'm super paranoid that my other cats could have stuff that we don't know about.

I'd feel the same. I bet their OK though. Can always get them checked out. Hugs to you and your kitties

I'm so sorry. I love my cat to pieces, too. But he'll let you know when the pain is too much. And until then, cherish your time with him.

Yeah I'm dreading the day I come downstairs and see him in pain. I don't want him to suffer.

It's clear you love him and will do right by him. I lost my last cat to cancer...she let me know when it was time. It was still the most 1

Sorry to hear that OP, I'm dreading the day that my cat passes. I've had her for 10 years and I know I'll be inconsolable when she dies. :/

We had a cat who lived to be 21! Don't think badly. And op, I am so sorry for you. It's awful. Enjoy the time left

Yeah, I knew this day would come soon, but not this soon. He's only 8 and a half, and out of nowhere, he gets terminal cancer. What the fuck

I had a cat that passed from cancer at 7. I assumed he'd live so much longer. Take pics now, and cherish the good memories. Show him as >

< much love as you can now. That's what I always regretted when a pet died. No pics and not enough attention.

Yeah I've been taking a lot of pictures and petting him a lot. I feel so sad because his brother doesn't even know and one day 1/3

He'll be so confused because his brothers gone. 2/2 (meant 1/2 for the first one)
