If she's young and it is a tumour then they should be able to remove it if there's decent margins
tomorrow. Younger cats always do better under anaesthetic than younger cats, so she stands a good chance.

Hope it all goes ok.

She's nine
And, as above, she's in good order.

My vet is great. Between me and my sister he gets four cats and two dogs - a previous vet had written off my sister's partner's cat as a terminal case four years ago but she's still up and about with new treatment recommended by my man.

I trust him a lot and I know he'll do the right thing.

Nine is fine, they should do pre-anaesthetic blood screening anyway to check
her kidney and liver function and for any infection, but there's no reason why she couldn't take an anaesthetic at that age if they're all showing within normal ranges.

All been explained
They'll do blood screening. She has a slight heart murmur but otherwise she's A1.

The vet knows us both well anyway and was genuinely upset to have to give me potentially upsetting news.

Here she is:-

With her best friend Big El.

She's a lovely little cat
And we've been through a lot together.

Me and my ex-wife got her as a rescue cat - she'd been a in a kitten farm. Pippin, not my ex-wife, that is. My ex-wife had been in the Gestapo.

She's been a real companion to me. Big El is a fine kitty in his own way but he is a very independent boy and wanders in and out when he feels like it.

Thanks for your comforting words. Nice to have an animal therapist on B3TA.

I really really want to pick her up tomorrow and bring her back home again. I hope I can.

Edit - been a bit wrapped up in my own slough of despond tonight - your kitty is a very fine boy by the looks of him.
