I'm so sorry that I posted the WUM post lem. I shouldn't have done that.
I have no excuse other than I was thinking of your cat.
I'm so sorry that I was hurtful.

. She said even with treatment, he wouldn't have survived for her at that stage and at his age.
I can't believe he's gone. I stroked him and kissed before and after the injection, crying all the time (I couldn't help it, but Cleo wasn't meowing). He was so poorly, it was devastating. Now hopefully he'll be as happy as he was before the tumour took him away, but we will miss him too much.
I won't ever call him "little Cleo" again.”

Very sorry to hear your sad news. It sounds pretty much like what I went through when my dog Jess died last December. She had been pretty much mooching about the house for a few days and would not touch her food, do her "toilet business" etc and would not go for her walks. When I got her to the vets on the Thursday (accompanied by my next door neighbour) I was initially told on our first visit that she probably had either gastroenteritis or it could possibly be something more serious i.e. problem with her liver and was advised to feed her on plain boiled white rice or chicken. When I got her home I tried her on this but she still wouldn't eat anything although she still managed to drink water. She was like this for the rest of the week. However on the Saturday morning I had to leave her on her own for about an hour to do my grocery shopping. When I got home she heard me coming through the back door into the kitchen and tried to come to greet me, however she had barely got into the dining room when she collapsed in the doorway and started to have a fit. It was at this point i raced next door to my neighbour who rushed me to the vets again. When the vet had checked her over and told me what he thought the problem was and what my options were, I asked them if it was possible to do any scans/xrays to find out for certain what the problem was. The vet agreed to do an ultrasound and after about 15 minutes the vet told me the news I had been dreading that poor Jess had a massive tumour on her liver and my only option would be euthanasia. I was absolutely devastated. I had got her from a local rescue centre when she was 10 months old and had been my constant companion for over 9 years. Even though it is almost 8 months since her death I am still struggling to come to terms with her loss. Still can't believe she's no longer with me. The house doesn't seem like a home any more without her.

That's very sad. One of my work colleagues lost his dog recently to cancer, she was only 8. He and his family really doted on the dog and they're devastated, particularly his daughter. It's just so hard losing our pets so 'suddenly'. My cat died within a month of her cancer diagnosis during which time she went through surgery and chemotherapy. It took me ages to come to terms with what had happened, one minute I thought I had a healthy older cat, the next I was told she was dying.
I could understand your post very well, even without paragraphs. Ignore the other rude poster.

Don't worry, I have ignored the previous rude poster - I treat people who make such comments with the contempt they deserve.
