Viky, I am so sorry to hear about your sweet Mickey. So many of us have
been through this and it is always heartbreaking. I am glad you had those
last moments of special time with him.

Subject: [Felvtalk] My Mickey
In October I joined the group requesting information on hemangio sarcoma
which my felv cat was diagnosed with. Everything I read was bad. He had
the first tumor removed on 10-13-08. It came back this time two tumors
and they were removed on 1-6-09. This surgery was very, very difficult on
him to get over. Then on 2-13-09 the vet discovered it had come back even
more rapidly than the first time. x-rays showed nothing in the lungs or
spleen but the liver was hard to see though not enlarged. This past
Monday he stopped eating and drinking and I knew it was time. The next
morning I took my heart disguised as a little 7 pound black and white
angel to the vet for the final time. The night before I laid him on the
bed next to me and he stared into my face purring for hours. The cancer
had spread to his liver and I knew I could not stand for him be in pain.
Before I took him to the vet I wrapped him in his cat blanket and walked
him all over the yard so he could see his ducks and feel the air on his
face. He loved to be outside. So from start to finish he lived 19 weeks
from diagnosis. This is a deadly, aggressive cancer and I hope none of
you experience it with your babies. I had my little man for 8 years and
7 months and they were worth every minute.
