I also wanted to let everyone know that our hospital kitty, Lil, passed away in early December due to an aggressive form of abdominal and liver cancer. She died 3 weeks from the first day she didn't eat her full meal - and she was a real chow hound! She just went so fast. I had taken her to Oakwood Hills Animal Hospital for an ultrasound with Dr. Kissner, and she confirmed what I suspected shortly after Lil became sick. Her liver had many tumors in it already at that time. Thankfully she continued to eat for me up to the evening of her passing, so I am grateful for that. She slept quite a bit but was always up for some petting and attention, and never appeared to be in any pain. I have missed her "help" unpacking boxes, sharing my lunches with her, and her constant massages (she loved to "knead biscuits" when you were petting her). I just wanted to let those of you who knew her know why she hasn't been greeting you lately. I had to wait awhile to write this as it was too painful initially.
