Doubt
The last week has been difficult. Self-doubt and confusion have tormented me as much as the thought that my poor cat with osteosarcoma in his hind joint, is going into surgery in an hour; he will have a partial amputation. There is no choice. Without this surgery he will soon be cancer riddled. With this surgery he will still be around and will hopefully adapt to having three legs. Will I be able to adapt? I learned to cope with his diabetes. But this, this seems brutal, and yet, when I called the vet on Saturday and told him I was thinking about putting the cat to sleep, he said it wasn’t necessary, that we got it in time, that he will be fine.
This is one spunky kitty who up until the time I took him to the vet last Friday was running , playing, jumping and eating. He’s a tough guy with a lot of spunk.
It’s a hard call, damn it is a hard call. I hope I don’t end up guilt-ridden but then again, whatever I do I will be feeling sick.
Update later.
Oh, no… that poor kitty. I can’t believe it. I haven’t been around a lot and now… this. God bless you two. Hugs!
