"Please keep my kitty in your thoughts and hope for the best. He's seen the vet twice in less than a week due to not eating much... and they think he has a mass in his abdomen and he also has fluid in his abdomen as well. We'll be making a trip to Gainesville tomorrow (07-21) to the vet university in hopes that they'll be able to surgically remove what they suspect to be a mass and give him a chance to live out a longer life (more than the 9 years he's been given so far). If they are unable to operate and remove it, that only leaves the humane thing to do. I don't want to say good bye to him so soon... I don't want him to only have 9 years of life.... I guess I can only hope for the best and prepare for the worst." Hopping that everything goes well and we get some good news.

July 20th, 2017 - Back from the vet, with heartbreaking news. They also suspect a mass that might be a tumor and you also had fluid (and blood) in your abdomen cavity. They suggest to end any possible suffering and continued deturation by putting you to sleep. I was devastated when they gave me the news. I don't want to give up on you, and they also said that I could take you to Gainesville to the vet university and they may be able to figure out what this could be on your ultra-sound cause they're not sure what it is, but they suspect it's a mass. I hate having to take you to the vet so much cause I'm sure you don't like going, but I want to give you every chance I can, I want you to have a longer life than just 9 years and 3 months, and I don't want to say good bye to you yet.
July 20th, 2017 - You're still not eating much, even with the medication they gave you. I'm so concerned about you that I have another vet appointment for you for another exam and a ultra-sound. I know there's something wrong, I just hope it's something that we can deal with and get you better.
July 14th, 2017 - Back from the vets, they say you weigh only 9.1 lbs. down from the 13 you use to weigh. They took some blood for testing and took a couple x-rays ... looking at your x-rays they found something that they aren't sure what it is, but think it's a possible mass and your blood work has them concerned. They want to do exploratory surgery on you ... want to have a second opinion instead of putting you through the pain and discomfort of being cut open, they also gave you medicine to stimulate you appetite ... I hope it's nothing major and it's something we can get taken care of and get you to feeling better soon.
July 14th, 2017 - You're still not eating much, my sweet baby... so worried about you ... have set up a vet appointment to have you checked out ... I hope it's nothing major.
