Some Sad News

Kitties~

Sylvester here.

I have some sad and bad news; I have cancer.

Last week I went to the vet for a full blood work-up and x-rays because I haven't been my normal self for a little bit and I've lost weight.  My bloods are fine, however, it was the x-rays that revealed that my innards are all wonky with fluid and abnormalities.  The vet said I could have an ultrasound and/or exploratory surgery, but that it would only confirm what type of cancer I have--and at this point it looks fairly advanced.  Chemotherapy might be a last-ditch option, but since I detest (so much) being poked, prodded, or otherwise examined Mommy and Daddy have decided against it.  I am getting antibiotics which have helped me perk up a bit, and also prednolisone to reduce the angryness of my innards.  

So right now me and the Great Beyond are at a standoff--Mommy started a Good Day/Bad Day calendar and Daddy will keep a close eye on me too, to make sure I don't suffer.  I love and trust them implicitly, so I'm not worried about pain--I just wish I could stay longer so they don't hurt.  For now, I'm simply going to enjoy all the sunbeams, ham, and love I deserve.

I'll keep you all posted.

Love, and Happy Tuxie Tuesday~

You may have detected a slight difference in my visage today--I'm sporting a MOustache for MOvember--in support of men's health!

The Movember Foundation works to further men's health in four key areas:

1.  Prostate cancer (of which our Grandpaw is a survivor)

2.  Testicular cancer (guess *I* don't have to worry about that)

3.  Mental Health  (we won't talk about Daddy, MOL)

4.  General Physical Fitness  (which Mommy nags encourages Daddy to perform)

Of all the people in the house I love My Daddy best (it's true--ed.) and I want him to stay healthy so he can continue to serve me in the fashion to which I am accustomed love me back.  So kitties, grow a moustache this month in support of men's health, and tell your Daddies (heck, tell your Moms, too) to exercise daily with a wand toy (and you!), and get regular check-ups.  Hopefully the Human Vet will have a rectal thermometer just for them.

Happy Tuesday!
