    I would go with the amputation. I have a tri-pod, Demetri He plays and runs around some times faster then the 4 legers.
    You have a beatiful baby there, take the leg and keep the love.

    Smokey the Elder, whose handle I use, had aggressive cancer in her hind leg and she had it amputated. She did just fine with that. She had a type of cancer which is very rare in cats. (She was also quite old at the time; how old is anyone's guess.)

    I guess the big question is - is the cancer in the joint only or has is spread into your kitty's system?

    If it's localized - go with the amputation.

    He sure is a handsome boy - definitely some kitten spunk in him yet!

    Agreed, amputation if it's not already spread.

    You mention the word tumor, but, is it cancerous? I think I would need to know that first and foremost.

    I would probably lean towards amputation....
