Im looking for a couple guesses as to whats going on with Boots. I took him in monday because i thought he swallowed something. They put him under gas and found alot of tumors in his throat. The results for the type of tumor will come back on monday. Until then, its all a guess. So monday night he was understandably tired. He slept with me. Then tues morning he was so full of energy. He was climbing on shelves, playing with the kitten. Hes 12 and usually never does that sort of thing. I thought it was the pain meds, but it was only onsior i gave to him for 3 days and hes still in a good mood. Im sure hes better because the tumors are gone. But better than when i adopted him 1 year ago? Im wondering if anyone knows anything about cancer in cats and also pain. Hes had alot of pain the last month, just jumping on things, getting on my bed. Trying to go up the cat tower. Now its gone. And he quit taking onsior thursday. Another question is how could a cat get cancer? I dont see him as that old personally. Some cats live until 20. He eats very healthy mostly all wet food and even gets cat supplements. Pic below is him playing with toys, something hes never really done.
