My Kitty.. the real Persian Kitty has cancer
 

He's not down and out yet.. but it's likely to be soon. After years of battled with cysts in his liver, he's developed a growth that is definitely cancer. Because of his age and other health issues, he's not a candidate for chemo. He's gotten severely anemic and had to have a blood transfusion yesterday. Today he's feeling better and has eaten but for now it's a matter of bringing him home.. making him comfortable... and happy.. and watching how he's doing on a day by day basis. This is the third old cat of mine in the last four years to get terminally ill. Vet says that these days people take such good care of them that they often live twice as long as usual and then the systems just start going. Smokey is 17. The two before him were 19 and 17.

I can't wait to get him home and snuggle him up tonight.

aww sorry to hear that PK. I am sure the real Persian Kitty lead a wonderful life up to this point though.

very cute, im sorry to hear, but im sure he had a great life.

May sound ignorant, but I had no idea animals developed cancer. I probably knew, but I wasn't aware of that.

Sorry to hear it PK, give the cat a hug from me

Sorry to hear that :(
17 is a great age for a cat

We have a 7 year old gray tabby named Smokey. It will be a very sad day when any of our cats pass away, they're family.

What a gorgeous cat! She looks beautiful and healthy. I think she's led a very happy life! It's obvious she has been loved. I'm sorry that you will be losing the cat, but it looks like she's been loved and taken care of. A long and happy life :-)

Hope all goes well :(

My 13 year old cat died last month, cancer in the liver. I watched her die, the poor thing. :(

Still, she had a good life.

That sucks... losing pets that you truly care about, hurts like a muther fucker.

Someone poisoned my dog in TN.

I put my house up for sale the next day...had enough of the bumpkin neighbors.

My cat, Momma Boy died last year.

I was pregnant at the time, he never got to meet my son...but I had him 19 yrs and he was a great friend! So sorry to hear about your cat!!

Damn. That makes me sad. :(

sorry to hear that

Sorry to hear about your kitty PK :(

There was a thread awhile back (and lots of references to this on the web) about a guy who cured his dogs cancer by feeding it cottage cheese + ground + flax seed + flax seed oil + CoQ10 I believe.

Google for cottage cheese + flax + pets maybe.

:(

My childhood cat is getting really old now and is 16+ years old... she lives at my parents house still and I'll be sad to see her go.

That sucks pk. Are you going to get another Persian kitty? or perhaps you can always buy a beardy ;-) Someone tells me those are really cool pets

17 is a very good age for a cat, that indeed is a very well cared for kitty
