Beeper R. Kat again

Posted on

When we got home, I found her on Peter’s chair, asleep. The tumor in her face has grown since we’ve been gone, and now her face is obviously puffed out. I can’t, I think, put off much longer taking her on that last trip to the vet.

I have to remind myself that she’s in pain, and I can’t fix that. And soon the tumor will grow enough to block her nasal passages.

So, fellow cat people, send good cat-thoughts out to Beeper.

  1. I’m not a cat person, but I hope my good thoughts will still be acceptable. I’m sure Beeper trusts you to do the right thing for her, hard as it will be.

  5. I am in a similar situation with my kitty. At first we thought that she hurt her eye…she had a check-up and we found out she had terrible teeth and hyper-thyroid, arthritis, etc… we started meds in hope that we could take care of this stuff, the one side of her face started to look really swollen. I took her in again on just this past Saturday and found out that she has a tumor. I find myself just torn. She appears to be fine. Certain things have changed, she sleeps more, drools a bit, but she doesn’t seem to be in pain. The doctor gave a steroid to keep the tumor at bay. Again, she seems happy. Fluffy is around 18 years old, she’s my best friend. I don’t want her to suffer at all. I only want the best for her. I just don’t want to give up on her either. Not when she doesn’t appear to be in pain. It kills me to think about ending her life. I”ve been searching the Internet for similar stories that will make me not feel like such a monster when the time comes. I feel for you… Does your cat seem to be in pain? or is it just the way he/she looks?

  6. Actually, I think she is starting to be in pain. She never tries to be with us or the other cats — just stays in her hiding place in the pantry when not eating.

    sigh.

    😦

  7. My kitty has been very clingy. She wants to sleep with us a lot lately. She’s eating less and less. I do get her to eat a bit when I heat up her food. Maybe you should try that with your kitty. The tumor is still being agressive although we are giving her a steroid. I feel that the time is drawing near. It pains me to even think about the end. Fluffy looks like she might be in pain. She kind of does a little shake every once in a while. She has brought me so much happiness. So much… I know it’s for the best. I just don’t want her to suffer.

    I know how you feel. I guess I am fortunate that Fluffy wants to be around my boyfriend and me. It breaks my heart to see her. It is painful to look at her. I try to treat her as if nothing is wrong. I don’t want her to sense anything negative.

    My heart goes out to you.

  8. My boyfriend just called me and said that she is bleeding from her mouth…I made an appointment today for 6:30. I get out of work and have to go straight to the vet. I’m miserable.
