It is with a heavy heart and weepy eyes that I write to you today, Dear Readers. As some of you know, my beautiful kitty Frank has been losing weight, especially recently and simply hasn't been himself. I finally got up enough courage to bring him in earlier this week. At his peak, he was 16 pounds. On Tuesday, he weighed 8.9 pounds. He had a urine test, which came back teaming with infection and lots of blood. He also had blood tests for, among other things, cancer and Feline Infectious Peritonitis (FIP). Yesterday we found out the sad, yet somehow expected news. Frankie has a plethora of protein in his blood, which, most likely indicates Multiple Myeloma or cancer. The prognosis is extremely poor even with aggressive treatment. So therefore, tomorrow at 5, Franklin and I will be going to the vet one last time. As anyone who has had a furry child knows, this is an extremely tough decision to make. Please keep him in your thoughts. He was a good kitty and he saw me through some really tough times. I will miss his poofy tail and his larger than life purr. Godspeed my little Franko. I will miss you more than you could know.

I'm so sorry to hear about your kitty. We've been through this too and understand how hard it is. You and Frankie will both be in our thoughts. Take good care.

Sarah, so sad to hear about Frank. I know how hard it is. When me and Shelly brought in Colby and Fiffer, I didn't think it would be too bad, but we both cried on the way home. Days after, it just seemed something was wrong. I didn't realize I would miss them so much. But we knew it was the best thing for them and they are in a better place, as is Frank. Love you....Cheri
Ohhh Sarah. I'm so sorry. Snackie, Evie, Little Bear and even Radar send you their deepest sympathy. You're a wonderful pet lover and mom. I'll be thinking of you!
Sarah, I am so sad for you. You were there for me when Jerry died, so please let me know if I can do anything for you as you deal with the loss of your own fat-o.
