This is Susie:
I have had her for about 9 years and she has been my buddy. She is the best cat I have ever had and she and I have been through A LOT!!!! She has been my "Wilson" like on the movie Cast Away!!! I have never been attached to an animal like I have her. If I had nobody else who cared, Susie did. She never let me down.
Well over the past 10 days she has lost a lot of weight so yesterday I decided to take her to the vet. At worst I thought she may have worms or a virus. After the vet examined her and did some blood work, he came back in and told me she had liver cancer and that he would be surprised if she lived a month. I was shocked!!!!! He said I could put her down then or wait and see how she did. I held it together until I got back in my truck and headed home. Then I lost it!!!!
I haven't been taking it well and it is all I can do to go to work and not think about it.I feel stupid for being a grown man that cries over a 8 pound cat but it just rips my heart out. I know I will have to make the decision to have her put to sleep and it will be so hard but at least she wont be in pain. Right now she is acting normal but I can tell that she kinda knows its coming.
If you don't mind, say a prayer for me and Susie. I think she is more at ease than I am.
