Lost my lil' bubba 12/12/12

Sorry about your loss. It's sad to loose a pet.


My son had an orange ginger cat that was only 8 years old. One night he was meowing on the basement steps. I could tell by his tone that something was wrong. I asked the boys to check him out and see if they could see anything wrong. They couldn't. My youngest son came and got me at 2:30 that morning and had found the cat dead in the hallway in front of the other son's bedroom.

I had an autopsy done, and the cat died from cancer. the soft kind, it exploded all over his stomach internally. Even if I had brought him to an emergency vet (it was sunday), they would have had to give him a blood transfusion and still may not have been able to save him. The transfusion would have cost over $1000. So basically, he was a gonner no matter what we could have done.... That info helped me deal with the guilt of not bringing him into the emergency vet when I first heard him meowing.
