Annelise, I'so sorry for you and your cat. Last month I must put down my loved Mausi, a female 20 years because it had had a terrible skin carcinoma. We took care of Mausi for six months and hoped to stop the cancer, but when it "eat"half of its face we must to put down. We miss al lot our Mausi, but we think it had a wonderful life in our family, all of us loved it. Annelise, you loved very much you cat and this is the most important thing. Sorry for my basic English.
