We know that a lot of people don't understand just how attached to our cats we are. They think that our cats only like us because we bring them food and water, not that our cats love us with their whole entire beings, and we love them the same way. They laugh when we say that our cats are our babies, but it's kind of true in some ways. When our cats are sick, or when our cats are sad, we feel it deeply, and when something happens to our cats that we think is… irreversible, it's gut-wrenching. 

And so we can totally understand the joy, the elation, that this person felt when they were told that their cat has beat cancer. Getting the news of the disease at first must have broken their hearts. It would have broken ours for sure. And we definitely would have been prepared for the worst. But no, the best has happened, and we could not be happier.

    Worst news, followed by the best news. And everyone who says that it's "just a cat" and should not be such a big deal has obviously never had a cat, or any pet probably, and does not understand just how close to them we are. We are so, so happy to hear that your cutie is healthy again.

    Words cannot express how happy I am. My mom just got the call my baby (14. yes she will ALWAYS be my baby!) got all the cancer out of her. She was diagnosed with mammary cancer around last month, and thank Joe Pesci we caught it fast.

    Edit: Looked at this when I woke up and never expected this much love from everyone (5,000 people celebrating with me?! And 100s giving their well wishes?! ). Going to be honest, I was fully expecting my mom having to sit me down and give me the prognosis, but when she came in with the news, god the weight released from me was one of the best feelings Ive ever felt.

    Genuinely thank you so much, I really didn't expect this much love. Even if I didnt reply to your comment, I am reading them all, and yes, treats were given out and kisses for each person asking for me to give her some (I dont want to stuff her on treats, but I'll make sure she knows how much she is loved). Again, thank you guys
