Hello all, this is Venus and I am a cat. I enjoy sleeping, sun bathing, napping, talking, walking, and sometimes batting around fake mice. My birthday is coming up at the end of the year. I'm going to be 10. Or at least I hope. You see, two weeks ago today I got some disturbing news. I have a malignant tumor.
I hadn't really noticed anything different. I mean I sleep all the time, I am a cat after all, but I felt fine. Mom and Dad took me in for a health exam about six weeks ago and except for having some missing teeth, all seemed normal.
A month later Mom notices a lump on the left side of my face. I thought maybe I just ran into something. I'm a cat, but I can be clumsy too. Dad brought me to the vet the next day. They stuck a needle in my face and told me I had lost a pound since I was last there.
The next day the results came back with less than desirable news. How could I have cancer? I'm in my prime and I feel just fine. One day everything is normal and the next I''m off to the vet getting poked and prodded. Mom and Dad are my best friends. We all hang out all the time. How can I ever plan on leaving them, much less anytime soon?
We went to a specialist today, someone who can tell us more about my problem. I want to share all about it, but I have had a rough day, so I think it's time for a cat nap. Until then, think positive thoughts for me. I'm not through purring and loving up everyone who meets me!
