I'm so sorry for what you're going through, it is not an easy journey. I feel lucky that Lily's vet is extremely compassionate and caring. Lily is still with me but its looking like it won't be much longer. This week she has almost fully stopped eating. :( Being on a steroid seemed to help her...

Thank you for sharing this. I'm not sure what our options are yet, but now I'm wondering if radiation is provided as an option if I should be doing it, or sticking to chemo. I'll do whatever I can for Lily, but I would like to try to make her remaining time as comfortable as possible.

I am so sorry to hear about your cat. How did the chemo and radiology affect her? I have a feeling that may be what the oncologist recommends.

Thank you so much for the recommendations. We just got home and she is not a candidate for surgery because the tumor is too large. My heart is broken. Our next appointment will be with an oncologist to see what our other options are. How long did your cat have? I'm so sorry for your loss.

I am switching my cat to crystal cat litter but stumbled across some articles that list it as being unsafe and would love some other opinions. I know that some forms of silica are extremely unhealthy but I didn't think that form was in the litter.  Does anyone have more information, or have...

I'm actually interested in this as well, did you happen to find any more information?

I recently purchased an essential oil diffuser and started using it on my office, where my cat often sits with me. I stumbled across an article that said essential oils are bad for cats but all the research I find is about placing the oil right ON the cat. Is it safe to diffuse oil into the air...

She's definitely gaining weight :)

Thank you! The bedroom is really tough in general because its very hard for me to keep the other cat out of the room and the two cats have to be seperated.

I volunteer at an animal shelter and recently they asked me to take in a 10 day old kitten to care for. This is the first time I've done this so I'm very nervous, I just want her to be happy and healthy. She's now 15 days old. I've been keeping her in my bathroom because it's the easiest room...
