In April of 2017, I went back to work at Zeus' Place. A pair of feral kittens were brought in. A woman trapped them in the parking garage of the Entergy Building down town. They were to be TNR - Trapped, Neuter and Released. Usually with TNR you return the cats to the same area you caught them, but a parking garage is no place for cats. I offered to take them so they could live in our shed and back yard. We no longer had any yard cats. Dexter stopped coming around and then Twin got really sick and we had to put her down. That was around the time I brought Scout home. We assumed another cat would show up to live in our yard but they did not. So we imported some LOL.<br />

I kept them in a dog crate so they wouldn't run away. I hoped I could socialize them enough that they would stick around. At Zeus' Place they would always run and hide when I would feed them. Eventually they go too big for just one crate, so I made them a double-wide with a crate a friend gave me.<br />
<br />
They were growing fast, eating like crazy and loved to play. Slowly they warmed up to us. I fretted about the appropriate time to set them free. They made that decision for me. Once morning I walked out to give them breakfast and they were lounging on the deck near their crate, waiting for me. <br />

They are no longer feral and are very sweet. They are a little jumpy, and they prefer you sit down so they can come up to you to be petted. But they will crawl in my lap and purr. They are socially awkward, having not been brought up around house cats, but that just make them more adorable. We named them Spark (male, more white) and Joule (female, more gray) in honor of their origins. The woman who trapped them trapped and later litter and finally the mama cat. Mama cat got spayed and return and her kitten found homes.<br />

Gonzo did well until January 2018. Then a new lump appeared. We had already decided we would not put her through any more surgeries or treatments. The cancer just kept coming back. A full senior panel showed her to be in perfect health. Except for the cancer. We spoiled her and kept her comfortable. The cancer was very localized and very aggressive. We said good bye to her March 19th. She had lost so much weight and the tumor kept growing. This photo is from 15 days prior. It was a beautiful day and we put her in a large dog crate to enjoy the outdoors. We couldn't risk her running off or anything. She seemed to really enjoy herself.<br />

We had to put Hana down November 16, 2016. She was 16 years old and she had had some liver issues and seemed to be responded pretty good to medication, but then took a turn for the worst. This was one of her last photos, taken November 1st.<br />

We miss our kitties dearly. Harold was showing signs of stress and loneliness. I had been telling G for years that Harold needed a kitten, someone to play with, for years. After Hana was gone he agreed. We didn't rush into anything. I frequently visited Zeus' Place to cuddle the kittens. No big deal. But February 22, 2017 one orange tabby spoke to me. We were going out of town, so not a good time to adopt, plus the kitten was so cute it was sure to be adopted. March 16 I brought her home. It took some time but now Harold adores her. She is really his kitten. Even Gonzo, who wanted nothing to do with Harold, liked the kitten we now call Scout. With all the kitty heart break, Scout has brought us so much joy.<br />

I remember when I fell in love with Scout I asked Michelle, the owner of Zeus Place, if Scout could put up with asshole Harold. She sent me a video of Scout wrestling with her father. Yes! She could hold her own. I knew Scout's father and mother. They were brought in with their kittens a cold January night by a kind soul.<br />

Wow how did Harold get to be 9? I wouldn't believe it if it wasn't for my posts 9 years ago. Unfortunately, Gonzo's cancer came back in January and we decided she had been through enough surgeries and treatments. We said goodbye on March 19th. Harold now takes over the birthday Photoshop photo duties.</div>

On March 16, 2017 I brought home this cute, orange fluffy girl kitty we call Scout. Harold was lonely with Hana gone and Gonzo in no mood to socialize. So I brought home a kitten for him. They adore each other.</div>

This Easter Gonzo turns 11! She's doing well however, she had another lump in December that was removed. The cancer has spread. It's too close to the spine for radiation, plus we don't want to put her through that. We decided to enjoy her for however long we have her. She's eating well, looks great and is being affectionate. Here's hoping for a few more birthdays with of panther girl!</div>

It was getting harder to keep Gonzo from picking at her stitches. We kept her confined to the living room and office all this time. I made an appointment for the afternoon of May 11 to have the stitches taken out and talk about the biopsy results. Dr. J and I had been emailing since it was hard to both be free to talk on the phone at the same time. Also during this time, I had jury duty which made my schedule even more difficult. Surprisingly, when I got home to get Gonzo, she was snoozing inside the cat carrier! All I had to do was close the door. On that day, Dr. J got stuck in surgery so we didn't get to talk. A vet tech took Gonzo to the back, took out the stitches, and had her back to me in 10 minutes. <br />
<br />
We weren't able to talk about the biopsy results until May 14. I put Dr. J on speaker phone so my husband could listen in. He hadn't had a chance to talk to her yet. Some of the cells were inflammation and others were precancerous. The two options were amputation and radiation. I had reached out to some of my other pet people and a few had pets who had cancer and /or amputations. It sounded like radiation is very hard on an animal's health. Plus we would have to drive her to Baton Rouge to stay for the week for treatment. It also sounded like pets bounced back pretty quickly from amputation. We told Dr. J we'd discuss it and get back to her. Over the previous 2 weeks I had more or less come to peace with the possibility of amputation and after further discussion with Dr. J, that was our decision. <br />
<br />
Dr. J wanted to do the surgery on a Friday, so Gonzo could stay over the weekend. We had made plans to go out of town for our anniversary the weekend of 21st so that seemed like a good time. In hind site it was an excellent idea. Had we'd been home while Gonzo was at the vet, I would probably have obsessed over it and stressed myself out. The trip was a nice distraction, and we got phone calls with updates on Gonzo twice a day.<br />
<br />
The following Wednesday, May 25, we were bringing Gonzo home. We talked with Dr. J about the surgery and follow-up care. She showed us photo of Gonzo so to minimize the shock of seeing her post-surgery. I'm glad she did because I was just imagining Gonzo as if her leg was removed by Photoshop. 1/4 of her hind quarter was shaved and there was a large, u-shaped incision with stitches. Her leg was sent to be tested.<br />

<br />
She was pretty out of it from the pain medication. But again she got very excited once we got home. We let her out of the carrier, keeping her in the living room. For some reason she decided to get under the couch and didn't touch the kitty cave. She would come out in the evening. I put a small stool next to the couch so she could hop on the stool on to the couch. It was surprising how well she was getting around. I slept on the couch with her at night.<br />

<br />
Back in April I noticed a lump about the size of a quarter on Gonzo's hind leg. Concerned, I called the vet. It was a Sunday and they didn't have any available appointments for the day. I made an appointment for Tuesday, April 26. When the vet, Dr. J, examined Gonzo, she said she was glad I brought her in because she was concerned about the lump. There was the one I noticed, that was squishy, but other, smaller, harder, lumps too. She said she wanted to do a biopsy and that she could squeeze Gonzo in the following day. I didn't like the sound of that.<br />
<br />
I dropped Gonzo off the next morning for the biopsy. I knew when she came home, she would need a calm, quiet place to recover. Our living room is the only room, other than the bathroom, we can close off. We would also need to observe her and be able to administer pain medicine so it was best to keep her separate from Harold and Hana. We picked her up that evening. It would be 7-10 days before we'd get the results. The vet explained that sometimes, cats can develop tumors at vaccinations sites and it can cause cancer. This was news to me! (See links at the end.) Dr. J also said that a amputation might be neccessary to save Gonzo's life! I was a wreck. My poor kitty might have cancer and lose her leg.<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">

<b>Post vaccination sarcomas*</b></div>
<br />
The debate about the safety of vaccines took the forefront in small animal medicine when a possible link was discovered between vaccination and the development of a form of cancer known as sarcomas. Sarcomas are aggressive, locally invasive tumors that seem to form at the site of vaccination in cats. They occur most often with the use of killed, adjuvant vaccines- notably rabies and FeLV. The most common cancer is fibrosarcoma. It usually appears from 3 months to 4 years after vaccination. The prevalence of this problem has not been established, but it may be anywhere between 1:1,000 or 1:10,000 vaccinated cats. A veterinary task force has been formed to research the issue. Treatment is most successful when the tumors are discovered early and surgically removed with a very wide incision. Recurrence is common if the incision is not wide enough to remove all tumor cells. This problem was the catalyst for the American Association of Feline Practitioners to revise its recommendations regarding the frequency and anatomic sites of vaccination, as well as exposure risk assessment of individual animals. </blockquote>

<br />
When we got home and walked in the house, Gonzo started scratching at the carrier's door furiously. She was home and she wanted out! We closed the living room door, put the carrier down, and opened the door. She shot out and was woozy from the anesthesia and pain medicine. She frantically ran to the door, she wanted to go to her hiding spot. When she couldn't get out, she ran around the room for a bit then started investigating things. We sat on the couch and watched her. She slowly calmed down. Eventually she jumped up on the couch with us and sat between us. I was so relived. I slept on the couch that night so she could sleep with me.<br />

<br />
There were a few options for her to "hide": one was Hana's "fortress of solitude" (a large cardboard box), the "kitty cave" I created to draping bed sheets over a chair or the carrier with a towel draped over it. She liked the kitty cave. The only down side of the living room is it gets a good bit of light and I think during the day it was too much with her eyes dialated from the pain medicine. But the cave was cozy and dark. I also scattered empty boxes (her favorite) around the room and put out a cardboard scratching pad (also a favorite).<br />

I went into nurse mode, bringing her fresh water, food and giving her her pain medicine. We had to discourage her from licking the incision sites and pulling out the stitches. She managed to pop a few stitches but not pull any completely out. I'm sorry, but a shaved cat is not attractive. Nor are the incision sites. Apologies for the graphic image. This was taken soon after she got home, so I could could gauge the healing.<br />

Links to Harold's "greatest hits": <br />
Harold was such a tiny thing <a href="http://gonzoforcats.blogspot.com/2009/09/introducing-harold.html" target="_blank">when I brought him home</a>.<br />
We weren't sure he'd grow into his <a href="http://gonzoforcats.blogspot.com/2009/09/lazy-sunday-afternoon.html" target="_blank">huge ears and paws</a> but he did.<br />

We are spending the day in the dark, listening to Hurricane Issac whip wind and rain around. Big gusts of winds but thankfully no flooding by us in the Irish Channel.<br />
<br />
Our cats Gonzo and Harold seem confused. This is Harold's first hurricane, Gonzo's second. Hana, our our 12 year old cat, is snoozing peacefully on the bed. She's been through this a number of times.<br />
<br />
So here we hunker waiting for Issac to move on. <br />

Harold was such a tiny thing <a href="http://gonzoforcats.blogspot.com/2009/09/introducing-harold.html" target="_blank">when I brought him home</a>. We weren't sure he'd grow into his <a href="http://gonzoforcats.blogspot.com/2009/09/lazy-sunday-afternoon.html" target="_blank">huge ears and paws</a> but he did. He grew fast the first year. His first vet appointment at <a href="http://gonzoforcats.blogspot.com/2009/09/but-wait-more-harold.html" target="_blank">8 weeks</a> he was 2lbs. 8oz. At <a href="http://gonzoforcats.blogspot.com/2009/10/harolds-stats.html" target="_blank">2-1/2 months</a> we was just shy of 5 pounds. By <a href="http://gonzoforcats.blogspot.com/2010/01/6-month-check-up.html" target="_blank">6 months</a> he was almost 9 pounds. He was around 12 pounds at his <a href="http://gonzoforcats.blogspot.com/2010/06/rrrrrowr.html" target="_blank">1 year</a> birthday. He's now stabilized at 14 pounds. He still plays a lot and in spite of his scowl, he's really a sweet, loving, silly cat. He just has a serious face.</div>
