    Randi, I am so so sorry. It reminds me of Tigris and I remember that biopsy surgery which we had and which only gave Tigris a terrible week when we should just have accepted that he was too sick to survive
    Fister for me is one of the last of Pet Talk's old gentlemen and ladies and it is as if I had known him. I send you hugs- you know he will meet John in paradise right away.

    Randi, I'm just seeing this and am so sorry. We all feel like Fister is our own and can just imagine your pain.

    Much love - {{{{hugs}}}} to you and dear Fister. Peace to you both.

    Randi, I am so very sorry. I've been following Fister's ups & downs with his eating, but in his latest pics he looks
    so good, just tired maybe, but content. I just don't know what to say. (((Hugs))) to you & sweet boy Fister.

    Randi, sending you lots of hugs, and prayers at this difficult time. Prayers for Fister, and the white coats, too, of course.

    Oh Randi...I wish I was there just to hug and hold you. It's the worst fear for any of us who love our cats so much. And Fister is a link with Jon - which makes it even harder, if it even could be.

    When you do go to the vet please give Fister kisses for me, on his lovely orange forehead.

    Hugs hugs hugs hugs hugs. I am so so so sorry.

    I just sent an email to the vet about payment methods. I will let you know when I hear anything.

    Oh, Randi. My heart breaks for you, and for Fister. You are in the most difficult of positions, putting the welfare of sweet Fister before your own feelings. There probably isn't a single one of us that hasn't been in that position, not that that is any solace for you now. I wish you all the support and love you need as you walk through this nightmare. I have no doubt Jon will be there, too.

    Much love,
    Johanna

    Pain meds

    Randi, I hope you have your boy at home now. Might I suggest that you ask the vet for a pain medication that can be compounded in to a cream and put on Fister's ear rather than an injection or a pill. It might be easier for you to calm him that way.

    You are in our thoughts.

    Hugs to you both!
