I feel so sorry with my boy, he's been neutered, eartattoed and they've operated away the lump between his shoulders.
He's been eating a bit and now he's sleeping on the couch.
The vet has sent the lump for testing in England, I hope it's not VAS. The vet didn't think it was cancer, though, but the test will show!

Here's a picture of him:

Timmy...what in the world do you have on your ears.

I am sure that you will be on pin & needles until you get the results about your boy's biopsy.
I am sending positive vibes your way.
Please keep us updated.

Thank you!
I'm hoping for the best


They bandaged his ears so the tatto-colour won't smudge on furniture etc. I've taken them off, because it irritated him, he shook his head all the time, trying to get them off. Poor thing!

I'm going to give him lots of cuddle this weekend, and I've told him it's a looong time we're going to the vet again

Yeah, it's his ID-number.
No, we haven't
We send the tests to England or Germany.

We can microchip the cats too, but people aren't aware of that so if something happens and they don't see an eartatto, they don't think someone owns them.
That's why I chose eartatto, because I want people to see he's got a home.

Jamie's got ear tattoos for the same reason, although he's also microchipped. His ears weren't wrapped like that, though.

The test result came back OK!
The vet called the lump for calcification(?), don't remember the excact name..
I'm very glad it's OK, just wanted you to know
