Sammy cat is my first fur baby. I got him on the 4th of July in 1998 from my grandpa's farm. He was the runt of the litter, and I just loved his mild manner from day one. He's just a sweet and laid back cat. Being that he's on the older side, I figured it would be best if I let him live out the rest of his life at my mom's because he's comfortable there.
From the first picture above and from the video below, you can see that my poor baby has a tumor growing from his nose. The picture was from over a year ago and the video is from the summer. As you can see from the video he is still very active and sweet. Also at the point the video was taken the tumor didn't seem to bother him at all.
This tumor has been around for a while, but being that he's 14 years old we didn't want to put him through the trauma of being put under to get it removed. Also, the cost of getting it removed isn't cheap. However, the tumor has gotten so big that it's getting in his way when he eats and he keeps on scratching it open which just makes it worse. So come tomorrow my mom is going to take Sammy to the vet to get it removed.
I hope that my old baby can handle the surgery and come home without any complications. My hope for 2013 is that both my fur babies start feeling/ looking better and we get to enjoy more years with them.
