I just posted this whole thing and somehow lost it ...so here I go again.

This has been a tearful morning. Gigi's blood work showed cancer so an xray was done, the cancer was all over. Last night I tried to tempt her into drinking and she could not swallow. I had to make a hard decision, in my 43 years this is the first time I felt "grown up", it was awful. If I would have taken her home she basically would have starved.

Its hard to believe this is the same cat who was fine earlier this week, or at least she acted fine. what a brave girl you were my sweet baby...rip.
