    Urinary Tract blockage.... again....?

    ​I am so sorry to hear about your Peanut. I had two cats that went through UTI problems and subsequently blocked. Both were males. The second time my Momo kitty blocked, we took him to our regular vet and they did a PU surgery (which I have been told is removing most of the penis - sounds...

    Cat with tumor in his jaw - when to let him go?

    My husband and I have decided to have Momo put to sleep tonight.  Momo took a turn for the worse this week, and although he's still eating and drinking, he's not doing much else. His quality of life is basically zero.  He sleeps in a box or our laundry hamper downstairs in the basement.  He has...

    Cat with tumor in his jaw - when to let him go?

    Thanks for the advice and kind words.  Momo was a street kitten, so I'm happy to have had him this long, but I agree.  I've long been planning for another 10 years with him.  This has simply been heartbreaking.  I lost a dog to CKD and debilitating arthritis on January 2nd as well, so it's been...

    Cat with tumor in his jaw - when to let him go?

    My cat, Momo, is 9 years old and has a tumor on his jaw.  The whole episode started right around Christmas, when he was showing signs of bad pain. After many visits, it was discovered that the lump was actually some sort of tumor, but the vet wouldn't know exactly which kind without a biopsy...

    Cat has lump in jaw/chin area - mandibulectomy only treatment?

    Thanks for your support.  Since posting here, I've done a lot of searching online, and it hasn't instilled me with a lot of hope, unfortunately.  I'm taking one day at a time and will see how it goes from here.  My husband and I have pretty much decided that we will not be pursuing the...

    Bony tumor in jaw in 17 yr old male

    Sorry to hear about your cat.  My cat, Momo, is a lot younger than your cat, but we had to take him to the vet around Christmas with a bad tooth.  He needed a cleaning and extractions and was given antibiotics for what the vet thought was an infection.  Well, it turns out that it's likely not an...

    I just found out my cat is terminally ill and the grief is overwhelming

    I am so sorry.  I have lost three cats in the last four years due to old age and illnesses.  It is heartbreaking.  Spend as much time with your kitty as you can.  Perhaps someday you can open your heart to another.

    Cat has lump in jaw/chin area - mandibulectomy only treatment?

    My 9 yr old cat started showing signs of pain in his mouth right around December 24th.  He also had a large bump on his chin which I had never noticed before.  We weren't able to get him to a vet until the 26th, but the vet took a look at him and told us he had to have a dental cleaning and...
