I'm at the surgeon's. She says that she thinks amputation is his only chance. She claims cats with hind leg amputations recover well, even older cats. I can't believe I have to make this decision. She's out calling my vets right now.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
{{Kristin}}FWIW, I bet Byron would give up a leg for another year with you if he knew what was going on.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Backflung, DJ. Hope it explainiates at least a bit.
Best of luck for Byron, KT. My gut says do it, but you've got all the support in the world from me whatever you decide.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I'm sorry, Kristin. Just know that there is no wrong decision here, no matter what you decide. {{{}}}

Well I've talked to the surgeon. It's this or him dying. It's also going to be between 2 and 3 thousnd dollars. She says that the amputation will maybe give him another 2 years. Jesus.

Also, Kristin, if you need to cancel tonight, it's totally okay. Just play it by ear and if you'd like company, we'd love to come. If not, totally understandable, too.
ETA: I'm so so sorry. These kinds of decisions are so awful. Thinking of you both.
