My last day

Today I was put to rest after weaking more to what seems to be a brain tumour on my left side. My humans are terribly heart broken! I want them to be strong and remember my happy life but they cant do that at the moment and just think of the sad days that have passed. I will be in there hearts and minds forever and ever. Life is too short.

I'm Dying :(

Hi everyone, I'm very sorry to tell you all this but I wanted to make a diary entry now before it was too late, my mum is doing this for me as I feel unwell and I'm just resting now.

I have began to walk around sort of drunk like, I also lean to the left and walk in big circles, it hit all of a sudden but I have been acting a little strange for a little while before.
My vet had a look at me and has concluded that I have a brain Tumour and maybe a stroke, it could be one or the other but it leans towards tumour!
Yes I could have all these tests and scans at thousands of dollars but its not the way to go with me as I'm now at the tender age of 17.2yrs.
I also have a large mammary lump, lump on left arm, lump on end of spine, lump in tail (not to mention the lumps my humans cant see inside of me that I might have) I also suffer kidney disease and I need a dental to get me in tip top shape, its just not sane for my humans to push me through that, I doubt I would survive. I also have arthritis and have lost some weight over the past 12 months. I feel very sad for my humans as my mission in life is to kiss them and keep them happy, right now I cant do that as I just want to rest.
The vet gave me some cortisone to keep me comfy, and my humans help me in the litter box if I need a bit of support (as i drift to one side)
Its just a matter of time before I have to leave you all.
Much love from your dear friend Zap.

Mammary Lump Removal

On the 3rd of January it was off to the doctors again, I had a check up the week before as I had a Mammary lump again, this time the vet said he didnt like the look of it, didnt look like just a cyst so after he poked me a few times with a sharp needle (that hurt) he said it has to come out.
So on the 3rd it was removed and I am now left with 5 stitches while waiting for results of the Histopathology.

I sure feel better that the lump has gone but I am a bit worried too.

When I was at the vets they had to give me two drips, one to put the sleepy medication in and another to put fluids in to keep my kidneys happy as my kidney are starting to get old and worn out, they are not real bad but there is a big of concern with them these days.

Well I better get back to checking out my stitches, they come out in a weeks time, Great!

Happy New Ear

Happy New Ear to all. I had a great christmas until it all ended when I had to see the doctor on the 28th of December 2005, now I know exactly why I was starved in the morning as the vet gave shaved my leg and knocked me out with some whoopy drugs, I had fresh fish flying around in my mind and was enjoy it all until I woke up to find my ear had been stolen!
And I had this stupid plastic thing around my neck to stop me touching it.

When I got home I wasnt very happy but I was ok, 24 hours passed and I started to feel rather sick, I didn't want to eat or drink anymore, I just felt like giving up, what was the point in life with only have an ear on one side. Even Jordan was hissing at me and laughing.
And to top my days off I was taken to the vet again for a few more jabs, ouch!

Ok so it took a week for me to snap out of the post operative surgery but I am now feeling pretty good about my new look. I no longer have a black cancer lump to worry about but I have a new look that everyone wants to know about.

I think I look pretty cool for a cat of my age.
