Title: Advice about cat with terminal diagnosis needed on Cat Chat
Post by: Christine (Blip) on November 04, 2007, 15:23:17 PM: For any Cat Chat members, in the Health and Behaviour section there is a post from a lady whose cat has been diagnosed with stomach cancer. She is asking how and when to make the painful final decision for him.

I have no experience of this so feel inadequate to respond with anything other than support. Can anyone help her?

Thanks - I know I am asking an upsetting thing by asking this.
