The week-before-last, Emma starting behaving a little "different" - she was hiding in one of the cat trees, and didn't seem to want to hang out with everyone. She also seemed to be getting thinner. We took her to the vet last weekend, they kept her overnight and ran some tests - turns out she has lymphoma and the vet says she has maybe another month or so left. We're monitoring her closely, trying to make the distinction of whether her pain is worse than ours.

Sorry to hear about Emma. It is hard to watch them decline. My male cat from this brother/sister pair of rescues went through this. It took a while to diagnose. They put him on steroids which perked him up a bit and kept him around longer I suppose. Of all the pets I have had who have passed, his hit me the hardest because he was young, only 6 when he passed.
