............Well, you never know how any disease or cat may react. It
could be a whole new ballgame. But you do know now they're not quite
telling the truth when they say 2 years and decent quality of life. One
has to ask oneself who the cat is being kept alive for, yourself or him/her.

My cat was over 15 also.


I don't think they were lying; I think they probably did have cats
that do very well on chemo. I know that cats are supposed to tolerate
chemo much better than people do. It just didn't work out in my case.

That's what makes it so hard; we can't talk to our cats and explain
what's going on. All we can do is what we think is best.
