Sad :(

I told you in a previous message about my cat. Well, yesterday I had to bring him to the vet to put him to sleep, he wouldn't eat anymore and was losing his balance because of his cancer.

This was heartbreaking, I couldn't stop crying at the vet's office. I decided not to stay when the vet put him to sleep, it is too hard to watch.

Having a pet

I have a cat. He's almost 8 years old now but he is still like my baby :p

I know that having a pet is not really frugal but I grew up with pets and it would be hard to live without one.

I found out in January that my cat has a fibrosarcoma, which is a malignant tumor. The vet took it off a few months ago but it's starting to grow back now. It is the kind of things that almost always grow back (95% chance). It will evolve and then my cat will probably have problems walking and eating... and die.

I thought about taking the tumor off again, to give him a few more months, but it would make him suffer again, plus he is terribly afraid of the vet. It is really a hard decision to make. Do I let him live with it till the end (and let him have the best time) or do I make him go through surgery again (at a cost of $500)?

I think the first option is the most reasonnable... but it's hard.
