Samantha has had a lump removed

[Cataholic]

Oh, Samantha! I am glad to know the cone is gone. Does your mommy know that sometimes heating a bit of wet food to just barely warm can help increase the food intake? Otherwise, tell her you want only your most fave things! Get totally better!

I'm so glad to hear that she's cone free again. Now hopefully her appetite will return so she'll gain her weight back. I know that sometimes the antibiotics will also cause cats to lose their appetites.

I don't think Samantha knows that her course of antibiotics is finished. She hides from us in the morning, hoping that we will forget to give her a tablet.

I really was not worried about her loss of weight. I thought the vet was being a little over-zealous there, but Jessica is due for a weight check in a week anyway, so it really is not any problem to take Samantha too. As far as I can tell, the lump between her shoulder blades has gone.

Samantha is still not very active, but it is still cold here and they are not moving much at all, preferring to spend time curled up in fleecy blankets. Most days they are still lying around under radiators. Roll on Spring!

Samantha, kitty kisses from your buddy Pinot...by the way, you can come out now!!

Somehow missed most of this thread but very happy to read that Samantha is doing fine and the lump between her shoulder blades has gone. Please give her some kisses from me.

Poor Samantha baby- just believe us- it's over now.
I am afraid spring will be a little longer so you use your time sleeping!

Oh dear Samantha

I am so sorry it has taken me so long to see this thread and hope you feel much better. It's no fun having an owie and then having to wear a cone and take pills too!! Poor little girl

You know if you ask mom and dad for some treats honey, you'll get everything your little cat heart desires

Feel better soon sweetie

I hope for you that your beloved Samantha is all "out of the woods" now, and will recover completely.

Love,
Sus
