Now it's my turn to post in the thread. I got a phone call from my vet a couple hours ago. My almost 12-year-old cat Schroedinger with the vomiting problems doesn't have IBS. She has large cell lymphoma and it's spreading. He gives her six months at the outside. I've been kicking myself for not going full bore on this from the start--the vet assured me that cancer doesn't work that way but I feel guilty. I also spent this morning doing crap on the Internet when Schrode wanted cuddles and playtime. I've never had a pet long enough to go full circle. She's getting a pill-based chemo and an overnight stay at the animal hospital. I just ordered all the maybe-someday pet stuff on my Amazon wishlist including the heated cat hutch everyone raves about. She's still herself: still yowls to be fed, kneads on sweaters, won't quit bugging me about the kitty fishing rod hidden in the closet so she can't rip all the feathers out of the lure. Just knowing that I'll have to say goodbye to her sooner than I thought makes me sad and angry and it's been kind of a lovely week already. But we're going to keep going for as long as she wants to go.

And I made the appointment today to put Schrody to sleep at 6pm today. I feel terrible.
