Bunny seems to be going the route that Pris did. She's got some kind of cancer on her kidney, and she's not eating. She's spent 2 out of the last 5 nights at the vets, getting IV fluids.
The biopsy is out for tests. If it's lymphoma, then we make "the call."
If it's the other kind of cancer that it could be, she *might* be able to get it removed, and she *might* be able to live without kemo, for *maybe* another year. CarGal is hanging on to that hope, while I remain certain that we are going to be -1 kitty within the week.
The last night she was at the house, she got up into bed and cuddled (she hasn't done that in about 2 weeks). The next day she made a meow that she'd never made before. Both of those things happened just before it was Pris' time.
I haven't known the cat that long so I'm doing okay, but the wife is very upset. There's parallels here about making the decision to take her mother off of life support, so there's a LOT of emotion. I feel like my job is to present options to her, rather than push in one direction.
