I'm trying to keep it together at home as my children, especially my daughter, are very upset and worried. It's maybe sad to say but my cat is probably one of the most consistent sources of comfort and reassurance I've had for the last 13 years. She is considerably older then my kids, I got her when I left my parents so we have been through a lot together and she has always been an important part of the family.
A couple of weeks ago I found a lump on her foot and it's grown scarily fast. She is going into the vets tomorrow to hopefully have it removed but I have my doubts if she will be fit for the operation. they will be doing bloods and x-rays before hand to get a better idea if she can, all at an eye watering cost. She had a chest infection at the beginning of this year so has lost a lot of weight and she wasn't big to begin with. Im just in pieces worrying about her trying to hope for the best. I can't reach out to my usual support network as the ones who would understand are all going through their own difficult situations. Id really just like someone to give me a hug and say it's all going to be ok.
