I know how much your furry children mean to you. The one time I watched your furry children when you and Toby went back East for a visit I kinda bonded with the big furry guy. He is the sweetest cat…. We will send get-well vibes to him and hope for the best.</p> Oh, Michele, I am so sorry to hear about Schmitty. I know how much your furry children mean to you.

Your photos are really touching… I was crying as I went from one to the next. I’m glad he is a such a loved cat and I wish him a successful surgery and a speedy recovery.</p> <p>As per a previous post, the loss of a pet is devastating and anyone who has lost a pet knows how hard it is. There is sometimes a tendency to feel guilty for emotions placed on animals… but there are a lot of us out here who know how you must feel right now. Despite everything else going on in the world, I’m thinking of the Schmitty kitty and crying for you… and I’ve never even met any of you.</p> Poor little guy.

The doctor called us early this morning to tell us a little more about the surgery. They are going to remove the part of his colon that holds the mass as well as any other areas that might be infected. Apparently this is pretty common in cats even though I hadn’t ever heard of it and our vet said it was rare. I hope it’s common enough to make the surgery less daunting.</p> <p>If we can squeeze another couple of years out of him that’d be wonderful. If we only get him for another six months, that’ll make me happy as well. I just want him to feel ok and not suffer. Like I said, the moment he’s in pain, I’ll stop going into debt in order to keep in alive.</p> <p>Who needs to buy a house anyway?</p> Thank you, friends.

Who needs to buy a house anyway?

Dub’s in my lap right now and he just reached out for the screen. I think he’s trying to pass along some good thoughts for your boy, too, just like you guys did for him.

We’re all hoping for the best for you guys.
