Zabelle turned 19 on August 2nd. But just before her birthday I found a tumor on one of her mammary glands. The vet said it was definately cancerous but she was too thin and her blood work not very good to operate. The surgery is very quick but he was a bit afraid to do it. He recommended a heart drug and a kidney-friendly diet and wait to see if her blood work would improve in a week or so. Well she HATED the kidney-friendly food and absolutely refused to eat anything. When we went back to the vet, the tumor was worse and he said it had to come out. So on Monday Belle had her surgery and came through it with flying colors. In fact she entertained everyone at the clinic by talking to them most of the afternoon until we picked her up. She is eating well (back on poached chicken kidneys be damned) and enjoying the summer weather. She is a remarkable cat.
