Agatha P. has cancer
Feb 27^th, 2006 at 3:18pm

I took my cat Agatha P. to the vet on Saturday and she confirmed that Agatha has metastatic cancer (cancer that has spread throughout the body). We don't know how long she has, but the vet said she'd do better if she isn't stressed out.

Agatha has feline leukemia and had to be locked up in my guest room so she wouldn't give it to the other cats, but she hates it so. My mom agreed to take her so she could run free for however long she has left.

I'm a mess. I've cried all weekend, and I'm tearing up now just writing about it. Cry

She's only 6 years old. Embarrassed

Have you had her for the whole 6 years? Animals don't understand which makes it so much harder for us. I'm thinking of the both of you. Love from CA. Meg

It is so hard to deal with a pet's certain death. I wish you strength and courage to deal with this situation and know that when the time comes and Agatha P crosses the rainbow bridge, she will be with all the other pets that have crossed before her that will play with her and keep her happy.

That is terrible news, 13bodies. You have my deepest sympathies. Cry

My first dog was only 6 years old when we had to put her down. She had cancer too - lymphoma. I'll never forget that awful feeling when I was told that she had only 6 months to live. And then losing her...GOD. Cry

Anyway, I totally know where you're coming from. It's hard, it's unfair, it's horrible. I'm so sorry you have to go through this - I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. But at least you don't have to go through it alone.

God be with you and Agatha P. in this very difficult time. Hang in there.

It says a lot about you as a person, the fact that you would selflessly let her live out her days in freedom rather than keep her confined and unhappy. Hugs and prayers to you, and a scratch behind the ears to Agatha.

I am crying with you Cry

6 years is no age for a cat. At least she has you and she had the best cat-life ever!
I hope she will go in her sleep and don't feel much pain.

((((((((hugs)))))))

When my kiddos were little and we lost our cat, I told them that he (Sodo) is in cat heaven now and that he sits on a big cloud every day and watches us. Every time the kids saw a cloud in the sky, they would wave and shout out: "hello Sodo, how are you? We love you"

I know what it's like to loose a pet to illness. I'm glad to hear your mom gave her some room - she'll be happy being able to roam around. You did the best thing you could do for her sake! You are a good kitty-mom. hugs

We think Agatha's doing well, but no-one has seen her since she got to Mom and Dad's Sunday. They've heard her, though, mewing through the house all night. She's got to come around sometime.
