For anyone who didn't know, my (technically my moms) cat had a large (baseball size) growth in his abdomine which he had surgery on today. So far it looks ok, they were able to remove it but they are not yet sure if it is cancerous, we will hopefully hear by the end of the week. We are praying for the best but I think we are prepared for the worst, but even if it is cancer, hopefully we will have at least a few more months with him. He is a great cat, only 5 years old and we can't imagine life with him not in it.
Here is a picture of Alexander and I a few years ago.
