For what Punky has been through these past months since March, I had my doubts about the whole treatment thing. She is my son's cat, and he wanted to try again. <BR/><BR/>At first, before she was ever seen at UVS, the specialist in Columbia wanted to remove half of her uppper jaw and even half of her nose and nasal cavity, and also stated that she may never eat again and may require a feeding tube. Sometimes, it is best to just say goodbye and let them go....none of us can live forever. I have 8 little chests on my mantle with remains of some of my little buddies who I had cremated. They are all going to go in with me when I die. <BR/><BR/>I must admit Punky is a tough little gal for 17 years of age! She has never had a sick day in her life til this osteosarcoma appeared. She looks pitiful right now since they shaved her entire little face, even her whiskers, for the radiation treatments. But she is a fighter and continues to improve. She really is an amazing little kitty.<BR/><BR/>Sorry to hear about your little kitty, but I feel you are doing the right thing. My son is just prolonging the inevitable. I'm cetain that Punky will not be here at Christmastime....<BR/><BR/>God bless your little kitty and you, too, for being a responsible pet owner. So many animals don't even receive the minimal care.<BR/><BR/>Feel free to email me if you like as my email is on my profile page.<BR/><BR/>(((((( HUGS ))))))Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11388218387599733572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9142810637810901943.post-51957807960392791812008-09-18T06:24:00.000-04:002008-09-18T06:24:00.000-04:00Hi Nancy,I am so sorry for what is happening to Pu...Hi Nancy,<BR/><BR/>I am so sorry for what is happening to Punky, you, and your son. My cat was also diagnosed with cancer at UVS. I found your site while doing a search to read more about it. I have been killing myself with guilt over not being able to treat her but I've already spent so much and can't afford any more. The prognosis for my kitty's cancer (oral SCC) is very poor even with chemo and if there's a silver lining, reading about the problems you have gone through makes my decision easier to handle. Thank you for writing and I hope Punky gives you many more months of love.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9142810637810901943.post-13514155892481030372008-09-11T16:12:00.000-04:002008-09-11T16:12:00.000-04:00Thank the Good Lord your son wasn't hurt, or worse...Thank the Good Lord your son wasn't hurt, or worse, Nancy.<BR/><BR/>Poor Punky.

Sorry Punky is having to go through all of the medical problems.<BR/>But on the YAY side, I'm glad your son is doing well and that God protected him in his accident.<BR/>May God protect your heart right now as you are dealing with all of this.JOY GARNER WHITThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09466110944288592192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9142810637810901943.post-74213979445059917232008-09-05T21:28:00.000-04:002008-09-05T21:28:00.000-04:00Hello dear Nancy:-)Oh gosh, don't you worry one bi...Hello dear Nancy:-)<BR/><BR/>Oh gosh, don't you worry one bit about not being able to visit or comment much lately...you are doing exactly what you should be doing, taking care of those kitties!! I can well imagine your frustration at being told, after spending so much money on radiation for Punky, that he should now be euthanized!! It's become a very sad world we live in...as you say, money seems to be the only thing that matters these days. <BR/><BR/>Thank God your son wasn't hurt worse in that car accident!!! As you said, having just filled up his car with gas could have made it that much worse!! <BR/><BR/>Hope you had a great visit with your ex' cousin:-) I think it's wonderful that you still have a good relationship with your ex...I live with mine but we only share the house! lol xoxoCarole Buranthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05497329055251626140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9142810637810901943.post-14348364534168721022008-09-05T14:24:00.000-04:002008-09-05T14:24:00.000-04:00So sorry about the kitty cats!

It is very time consuming taking care of our pets, isn't it? I think a kitty as adopted me as it's new Mistress. It just showed up last Friday evening, walked onto my porch and ran to the dogs dish and ate all the dog food. So we went and bought it some kitty food and put it in our garage. But each day I try to spend an hour or more playing with it. They crave attention, just like us. It looks like it may be a Bombay kitten and has the same temperament. Just so playful, you can't help but love him. I have named him, Mr. Jones. Will be taking him to the Vet soon, they may know who he belongs to. If not, I guess it's going to be Me and Mr. Jones from now on.<BR/><BR/>Have a nice week, until we hear from you again.
