My kitty just died... it happened pretty fast.. we noticed that he was having a hard time breathing, so within an hour of noticing we took him to the vet... the vet said we had to do a scope to figure out what was going on and we scheduled it for two days in the future...They found a tumor that was blocking 80% of his air way in his throat, and we decided it would be best to not wake him up from anestesia to put him to sleep in a week.... so he is gone now, and I'm slightly devestated from the news... hes been sleeping on my lap for the past 9 years every night since I got him... and my brain wont believe that he is truly gone....
