As many of you know, Mittens was diagnosed with stomach cancer 1 1/2 years ago and given 2 months to live. At the time, I was told nothing could be done. Happily, she is still with us, sadly, I don't think she has long, but she has fooled us before. She stays in "her cupboard" (a lower cupboard in the kitchen with blankets in it) most of the time, only leaving to use the litter box or eat. She stil has a good appetitie and eats two cans of Fancy Feast a day. I did find blood in her stool yesterday. She was pretty sick for a while but snapped back. I won't let her suffer and I know she doesn't have much of a life, but it is her life and she tells me with her purrs and head butts she wants to stick around.Calicomom Toni

Mittens has defied the vet's predictions, and maybe it's because she is so well loved.
We are purring for Mittens...and you too.
Food, water, naps whenever the mood strikes...pretty much all a cat really wants and needs. I hope Mittens sticks around for a long time more, but she'll let ya know. She's smart, she'll know how :)
Mittens, we are sending you love and rumbly purrs and hope you continue to enjoy your life. You are very much loved little girl.

No, it doesn't seem like much of a life to humans but to a cat, if she's content ... We're sure you value every day you have with her. :)
We are purring and praying for our beautiful calico friend. We will light a candle and purr.
we are here with healing purrs and prayers and will be keeping you in our thoughts dear mittens
Sending lots of purrs to Mittens.
I am sending Mittens lots of purrs. The cat before me was a calico who died of cancer - she was given like six months to live but she went on for a year and a half, and was hunting birds and jumping through windows until a few months before she died. And actually, she purred and ate fairly well until the end.
We are sorry that we have not commented but we have been without our internet connection straight now for several days before that it was intermittent.
We have had Mittens in our purrs every night and we will purr even stronger now.
We send soft headbumpies and whisker kisses to you and your Mom Mittens.
