Hi all
This is my first post here, but I have been reading all your posts for the last few days. This is a great site, I have really enjoyed all your stories and pictures.
I have 3 cats of my own, Sooty a tabby 13 years old, Bugs a tortoiseshell 10 years old, and my little kitten Twinkle also a tortoiseshell 6 months old. Once i have figured out how to put pictures on here I will post some.
I am going through a tough time at the moment, my Sooty has a cancerous growth on her face. We have seen the vets and he has advised that it could be removed but it would mean she would loose half of her faceEven then though, he says because of the type of cancer it is it will probably occur somewhere else. He said chemo would not help and radiotherapy might help but would leave her with sores all over her face and many trips to the vets. Me and my partner have had a tough Christmas deciding what to do. We have decided not to put her through all that treatment with no gaurantees. She is happy at the moment and still her normal self, but i know that the time will come when I will have to make the decision to put her to sleep. Thats tough, but I have found this site a great help. Its great to find a site where there are so many people who are as crazy about cats as I am.
I cannot imagine not having Sooty she is my angel, she knows me very well and if I am upset she comes and licks my nose and won't leave me alone. We have a special connection.
Anyway must go. What a brilliant site this is and I will post pictures when I work out how to do it!!!!
Bye for now
