May 2018

I can only offer my own experience: With my last kitteh, he was 19-years-old, I was struggling just like you are. After several days of hand-wringing and tears, I woke up one morning and just knew it was time, I knew in my heart. I wish for you the same comfort of certainty. I will add, and take this for what it's worth, if Mira has a large tumor in her mouth, she more than likely has metastatic disease as well and other areas you cannot see.

Wish I could give you a hug. Sending vibes of strength your way, my friend.
