Oh Jen, I'm so sorry. The only good there is in all this is that Rutherford had the good fortune to wind up in your loving home. As for the cancer, I forgot to mention that Dr. Lee told me that, upon reviewing Puddy's x-ray the day she died, she had cancer in her bones. It didn't show up the last time she was in for x-rays so it just recently developed and she would've had that battle to go through as well. It does seem that there have been many cat cancers lately but they're all lucky to have found so many wonderful PT people.
