Thanks, everyone. I think I am in some kind of denial - that the growths won't be anything. I mean, nothing could happen to Oscar! But we all feel that about our furbabies, until it happens, and then it's a horrid shock.

I just got in and there was a phone message from my mom - she was awake several times during the night thinking about Oscar and how he's doing and what might happen.

I too hope that those growths are just 'old man kitty' things and nothing more.
