I spoke again with Irene this morning, and apparently Sekeetha was 26 years old! His late cat buddy was close to the same age when he passed.

The tumour was about 4" - the vet showed Irene where it was. No wonder the poor guy couldn't eat a lot! I had cooked up some elk burger and rice, and Sekeetha was getting a few small feedings a day; the rest went home with the owner's daughter (who was crying and wailing...I know Irene would have kept it together for her, but she is still really sensitive today).

The vet is going to their house today. He will be at his comfy home, with those who love him.

Thanks again.
