Our Oldest Cat, Sammie's Diagnosis Is Not Very Good

Sammie is a Tabby by design and recognition as far as a mental picture would be He first came home to us from a shelter as a kitten and made us a family of three That was about ten years ago, and Sammie has grown and is a pretty big cat But he is still very playfull and energetic and loving and like our child is his hat He also wears the hat of older brother to little Pepper who came about a year later He came to us from being a feral kitten among the many we would cater Recently Sammie developed a tumor on the lower part of his right hind leg We took him to the doctor and got a diagnosis that took us all down a peg For the real bummer was that there are more tumors inside So instead of taking the one off, he said to just let it ride Sammies life will likely end he said sometimes in the next one to three years So the news is not very good and it brought us all to share some tears In the mean while we rub his belly where the tumors are all at And pray for some majestic energies to be unleashed on our little cat So if you also are of a mind to share a prayer Little Sammie loves you and is so happy that you care
