Jack has 2 pea sized hard lumps kind of right behind his front leg betwen his "arm pit" and his trunk. Make any sense? He has a vet appointment tomorrow morning to check them out and I'm hoping it is not a recurrence of a tumor he had removed a few inches from there. These lumps feel nothing like that one did.

Don't worry ahead of time - it won't do any good.

You've done the right thing by making the appointment.

We're currently living with a new cat we adopted - a stray that adopted us (our #8 ), and he tested for feline leukemia.

I'm now in "school" learning to take it one day at a time - doesn't make it any easier. tho'.

The places you talked about sound like where lymph nodes are - maybe he's fighting some sort of infection - if so, they might prescribe some antibiotics if that's the case. They'll know more when they take his temp.

I'll be thinking about you and Jack - and

Moi? Jump to the worst conclusion? Never!


Thanks for the reminder and the good vibes. I love this cat so much.
