Creamsicle has a lump; It isn't cancer!; Update: 12/2; #71

I sure hope that it's nothing serious. I'll keep her in my thoughts and prayers.

Awww Geez! I am also hoping it is only a fatty lump.. Boo has one and when I found hers, I thought the worst and ran off to the vet with her... Let's hopt that is all it is.. I am like you, she already has enough problems, enough to deal with.

What bothers me is that I can't see it. It isn't above the skin; it's underneath. It's big, too; about the size of a nickel.

[Laura's Babies]

Boos was about the size of a quarter and thick,and because of her plush thick fur, you can't see it but when rubbing her I found it. Hers was soft and mushy but at the time, I didn't realize cats get fatty deposits.. It is still there and hasn't changed since I discovered it.

Since Caramella came along, I have neglected posting pictures of the other girls so this is long over due.. I decided to focus this thread mainly on the perch at the kitchen window and you will see why when I am done..

They are not as upset with the kitten invasion we have had here anymore and Caramella can do whatever she wants, (just about) without anybody threatening her anymore. Even Boo seems not to care that she is here. Samantha and Giz will do the chase thing with her, she will chase them down the hall, they will chase her back up the hall. One day Samantha noticed her stinky butt (she hadn't yet learned to clean herself after using the litter box) and she started cleaning it! WOW! Caramella did not like that but let her do it and decided to clean Samantha while Samantha cleaned her.. She can even walk up to Amy and sniff her and Amy no longer sees it as having her space invaded..

Anyway, on to the pictures of the girls..

This still has been a great investment and gets used every day, it is their # 1 favorite place to be.. It needs some repairs but I haven't got what I need to do it yet.. just keep forgetting to get it while in town..






Even Crarmella enjoys it now since she figured out how to get up there..


More coming up in next post

Now, on the the surprise I had just yesterday! I haven't seen this in YEARS!! I went into the kitchen to get something and was stunned by this sight and she was ONE happy little girl, so proud of herself and just wanted to pose so pretty for the camera!

LOOK at this!!



I have no idea how she got up there or got down...


Giz posed for you too so you could see her beauty but she wasn't on the perch..

Laura,

She's still beautiful, on or off the perch.

It looks like Caramella is one of the family now. I love how everyone is accepting her. They knew this was coming. Oh, I almost forgot, WAY TO GO AMY!

[phesina]

Omigosh! Amy, YOU ROCK!!!!! Special from your fellow CHers Elmer and Bob!

And welcome HOME, Carmelita!

As soon as Dr. Lee felt the lump he said "This has got to come out right away". I hated leaving Cgirl there but otherwise I'd have to take her back in early tomorrow morning and stress her all over again. She was hysterical when I left and I couldn't calm her down. Then I got a call from them on my drive home saying that Dr. Lee decided to do the surgery right away. He said that she was too stressed and he feared it would only get worse. He's hoping that the lump is a fibroma but fears it may be a fibrosarcoma. My stomach dropped to my feet when he said that. This is all happening too soon after just losing Boo. Please say a prayer for my sweet little Creamsicle. She has enough to deal with being deaf and a CH baby. I will pick her up at 5:30 this evening.

[krazyaboutkatz]

Poor Cgirl.... I hope she'll recover quickly and that the lump isn't cancerous.
