Lani My sweet, last year we had to put our cat to sleep, she was only 12. Being the person I am we did whatever we could to help her situation. The vet told us she had stage IV breast cancer and that 90+% of cancer in cats have a primary breast cancer that travelled to other areas, mostly organs. Although I would not like to see any more animals being used as experiments I also know that these animals have helped us to get this far. Thanks for the information as always. Have not talked to you in a while but you are always at heart!! Thanks for all you do for us here, I appreciate it>>Believe51
