One of my favorite used bookstore cafes is right next to our oncology vet. #HelloKitty is there today for imaging and staging, and if that comes out clear, she‘ll get her 1st chemo treatment today. Waiting here is easier than there, but not by much.

Amputation is out, as it is too close to her vertebra. So anything we do is palliative, not a cure, but we can hope for 2+ yrs more with her if chemo works, if it hasn‘t spread yet.🤞#catsofinstagram

quietjenn Good luck ❤️ 2y

alisiakae @quietjenn @Susanita @MegaWhoppingCosmicBookwyrm @squirrelbrain @ravenlee Thabk you so much! We got the good news we were hoping for, it‘s Stage 1 and hasn‘t spread. And they immediately started her 1st round of chemo today. 🙌🏽 There‘s no cure, but hopefully chemo will give us another few years with her. 2y
Addison_Reads @4thhouseontheleft I'm glad they were able to move so quickly with her treatment. I've been thinking about you and your kitty. I'm hoping for the best possible outcome you guys can get. 💚 2y
ravenlee Oh, hooray! When my fur baby got her cancer diagnosis it was too late to do anything but try to make her comfortable and the end cane quickly. I‘m so glad you have time with HelloKitty! Give her a scritch for me! 2y
alisiakae @ravenlee Thank you! Yeah, we lost our older kitty #Isabel in April after finding lung tumors way too late to do anything. The end came just a few days later, so fast we came home a day early from spring break. I was so glad today to hear HK's hadn't spread. 2y
squirrelbrain I‘m so pleased that you got the news you hoped for, and that she‘s started her treatment already. ❤️ 2y

Flying through the tagged book while keeping a close eye on #HelloKittty. She had surgery to remove 2 lumps yesterday, one a mast cell skin cancer, the other hopefully just an abscess. Initial biopsy on the 2nd lump was ok but vet sending to pathology to make sure.

It‘s been a hard year. Lost #Isabel in April and two close friends unexpectedly in May and June. Another friend dx with an aggressive breast cancer started chemo last week. ⬇️

alisiakae Maya and I are both finally completing psych evals each for suspected ADHD, anxiety, SPD (and possibly a few other things). That‘s tough on its own, involving multiple hours long appts. But I want to apologize to @BarbaraTheBibliophage & @Cinfhen for going AWOL recently for #Booked2022 hosting duties. Hoping to get my head above water soon. (edited) 2y
Kerrbearlib So sorry to hear you‘ve had a rough year. I hope things start looking up for you. And that kitty starts to feel better too! 2y
ravenlee I‘m sorry it‘s been such a tough time. Troubles just keep piling up when you‘re already struggling. I wish you health and happiness, and Maya too. 2y

It‘s impossible to read with these 4 bundles of fur in the house! I helped capture & rescue these kittens over the last 2 months from a construction site in our neighborhood. The neighbor fostering them is out of town, so they are with me until Sunday!

I was part of the rescue effort of these babies at the same time we had to say goodbye to #Isabel. I‘m not looking for another cat, yet 4 landed practically on my doorstep. 😹

Mehso-so

Unfortunately, I thought the 2nd book in the Tita Rosie‘s Kitchen series was a bit lackluster. I did like that the author delved into mental health and PTSD, but the writing felt stilted and the story moved pretty slowly. I‘ll still give the 3rd book a try because I love the characters!

#HelloKitty hasn‘t left my side this week. She misses #Isabel too. #catsofLitsy😿🫶🏼

We made it home in time to be with #Isabel. Her pain meds help, but it‘s apparent that the fluid in her lungs is getting worse. She heads to the vet for the final time at 3pm.

While I wait with her, I thought I‘d review Cultish, a fascinating look at the language surrounding fanaticism. I loved the broad focus on how cultish language & traits appear (to varying degrees))in fitness & wellness programs, social media influencers, and #BossBabe MLMs.

Readergrrl It sounds like an interesting book that I‘d like to read, but I also wanted to say that I‘m both sad that your kitty is at this part of her journey and happy that you are there with her. We love our pets, but this part is always the worst and yet very important part of loving them well. 💜 2y

I know some of you have seen #Isabel frequently over the last few years, she even has her own hashtag!

We found out today she has metastatic tumors, & fluid around her heart. 😿 We‘re still out of town, but are cutting our trip short and flying home tomorrow to be with her for the few days she has left.

Thank you to everyone who commented on my last post, I‘m sorry I can‘t reply individually right now. I‘m heartbroken, she is my first baby.

Soubhiville My heart is with you. 2y

Our dear #Isabel has made regular appearances on Litsy over the years, but our sweet elder Queen 👑 of our home hasn‘t been doing well.

We‘re currently on spring break in AZ visiting Aaron‘s parents, and Isabel decided to stop eating about a week before we left. We think she‘s telling us it may be time. An appetite stimulant is coaxing her to eat a bit while we‘re gone, but we may have to make a hard decision when we return home. 😿 #catsofLitsy

alisiakae @ravenlee @Soubhiville thank you 💞 She still appears happy and purry, but just has lost all interest in food. One of my close friends is caring for both of them while we‘re gone which helps. Her white blood cell count was a bit low, and the antibiotic she was given doesn‘t seem to have made a difference. (edited) 2y
Amiable I'm sorry. Such a pretty kitty. 2y
squirrelbrain Oh, I‘m so sorry. It‘s always difficult making that decision… sending love ❤️ 2y
