Just lost my cat. [View all]

Brought her in with the notion I'd be bringing her home with a treatment plan. Instead, I brought her home to bury her. Vet was honest, which I appreciated. There was a mass in her abdomen, and she probably wouldn't survive surgery if they'd attempted it. She was 14. I will miss her.
