I was flipping through photos, came across one of my boys. The name is Bobby. I got him when he was 6 months old, Cutest tabby with lovely gold eyes which he always got complimented on!
As he was growing up a year, then two and so on, he was a unique little dude. Never played like a normal cat, almost as if he thought he was a dog. Not even interested in the string....
He was quite the cuddler,. Would just nicely jump on you, purr, and maybe a little kneading and napping.

Well, a few years ago the little guy would sneeze, itch his nose like any normal animal. Well it became more frequent very gradually, to the point I would use a humidifier cause the poor guy was like snoring.. Well he got worse and one nostril became very inflamed. I took him to the vet and he was hoping it wasnt a nasal tumor.. So he got an x ray, come to find out the dreaded news I did not want to hear,... :'( my poor boy had a cancerous nasal tumor,.. I was heartbroken, he seemed just fine. A young normal friend,.. The vet told me its not uncommon for it to happen so fast, he said owners usually dont know about it cause its a slow growing tumor.. :'( Well we put him on steroids (pretty much to help him feel better for a short time so I could say goodbye)... After a week of steroids we were cuddling and its almost like we looked at eachother and knew it was time.... He was an indoor cat all his life! That day I took him to the vet I let him go outside, he enjoyed the grass, air, sights and sounds,.. This is the last picture of me and him going inside to head to the vet.. :'(
I miss my boy so much, as I type this its even hard,. But I have a memorial box for me with a nice card from the vet,.. Thank you for listening and letting me get this out,.. Just always love your pets. They love you so much, As Im sure you all understand. I will always cherish the memories and pictures.. Until next time my friends,
