Thanks guys, I appreciate the encouragement.

My cat has one of these lumps as well. I had it biopsied to check for cancer and it came back benign. It might be a lymph node or something but it doesn't seem to bother her at all so we've just left it alone for now. Just make sure it isn't growing.

As my kitty moves from early to mid/late-stage kidney failure I find myself ruminating a lot about how to maintain a balance of treatment versus quality of her life. Obviously making sure she is on a good treatment regimen is essential to making sure she physically feels well, but the more...

Hey everyone, I'm new here. Joining per my sister's recommendation as I'm going through a lot with my 15 year old cat with kidney failure and could really use some additional input and support. Lita, or "The Floof" as we affectionately call her, is a soon-to-be-16 female DMH. She has been on...
