My oldest, loudest cat, Siren, has been limping slightly for a few weeks. Two days ago Roomie noticed that she was having problems putting weight on her left hind leg, although it seemed to be a bit better. Otherwise she's eating normally, drinking normally, and yowling up a storm if she isn't fed on time.
I checked her leg and discovered a large lump at the stifle joint. I called the vet and got her in this morning. They're taking x-rays right now to see what this is, but the vet suspects osteosarcoma, aka bone cancer.
If it is cancer, I have to decide what comes next. My poor little girl!
