This is Roller catching some sun today in between his playtime.

Thank you for your comment. Just having someone to bounce this off of and type out loud helps me work through it. The vet can see the mass, and did a swab cytology. She said the cells looked abnormal, and the mass looks angry, which is why she thinks its squamous c.c. on the other hand...

No thoughts? im really struggling with this decision. :(

I feel for you and share your dilemma. My boy is suspected of having scc too but we haven't gotten a formal diagnoses either because i dont want to put him through any harsh surgeries. Im now at a point where i have to make that decision. The problem with cancer is that it can look like many...

A lot of cata do this with wet food. You really have to read the labels on wet food as the ingredients make all the difference. Avoid wet food with added color. My boys will get sick when i give them food with color. They will also get sick if i give them cheap brands which have a lot of filler...

Hi all. Sorry, this might be long so i can explain it all. So my boy Roller is a 12 year old white cat. Over the last few months, he's has a stertor thats gotten worse andhas a growth at the back of his mouth/throat that is getting larger. The vet suspects squamous cell carcinoma but to biopsy...

The grey one is Spike. I got them both within a few months of each other and they are the seniors in the house, with Spike being a little older. Roller gets along well with all 4 cats. I think they know something is up because they smell him differently. Ive noticed the stop to smell him around...

Hes the big white one

Roller is still purring up a storm but as we know, purring can be a sign of pain or a sign of happy. I have seen cats with severe trauma purring away when its obvious they are suffering. I guess its one of their coping mechanisms or maybe its a healing one. Hes having another great day today...

My 11 year old is Roller. Hes a DSH solid white kitty with beautiful green eyes. Hes incredibly fat and he has the most awesome nature about him. He loves anyone and anything. I got him at 10 weeks old after he ran into a friends house when she opened her door to check the mail. He ran into a...

Ive been througb this once before with my 9 year old. He had melanoma and after 2 surgeries to remove the tumor, it has spread and from diagnoses to the day i let him go... took 43 days. By far the hardest decision to make. I had let one go a month prior from old age and as hard as that was (he...

Thanks. I actually ended up taking him back in today for his 1 week check up and she advised the mass had grown since last week. She was able to swab his throat and poke at it without putting him under because he's just that tolerant, but it bled and he put up a bit of a fight. There's no doubt...

My 11 year old cat (Roller) recently starting having a loud stertor. I took him into the vet who looked in his mouth and said his soft palate is being pushed forward, creating the noise and blocking the airway. She said his ears are all clean and well, and the only way to know what's causing...

Ugh. reading your post broke my heart. I can't imagine what it's like to see your furbaby in that condition, but I do understand the hard decisions you have to make, and the feeling of not knowing if they are suffering or not. Something just doesn't sound right. Cats do not soil themselves...

my cat actually does this to his brother. He does the same thing your cat is doing to your arm. For him, we think it's sexual aggression (he's only a year, neutered though). He will literally meow until he tracks down his brother, he will bite the back of his neck to hold him in place, and knead...

This is normal for kittens. And cats are kittens until they are seniors. lol. I have 5 cats, and 3 of them need to be locked out of my bedroom because they play, make noise, run across my face, attack my feet, insist on bringing me toys... it doesn't stop. So I put them all into a bedroom at...
