- Agree with losing tail. An old cat just tends to walk around, not much jumping or - other major activities. Good luck.
- If he is otherwise healthy, I'd lose the tail. - Msla MT
- I don't think he would be traumatized... - by amputation.... just without pain.
- You know best, - Kitty

Fred soon to be Stubby!
First picture upload didn't work...Hope this one does!

Fred
Unfortunately, the mass is at the base of his tail about 1 inch from his body. Therefore, he would need a radical tailectomy! Several people are trying to convince me to put him down, but after 20 years of love and devotion, I think he deserves more than that!

I guess we will just have to change his name from Fred to Stubby!

Thank you all for your caring suggestions and kind thoughts! It really means a lot to me!

Fred
Fred's gonna be just fine.....keep your chin up kiddo! Mine was calle Kitty Sticktail for the same reason.

Don't mention it hon - Hope Fred comes thru 100%

I had a feeling you were going to tell me high up on the tail, close to the body.

Don't thank me - I so know what you're going through, my cat of 12 years died in 2004 and I have never gotten over him (he was just a sickly cat, whose life I extended, per the vet, with love and caring) and have since gotten another cat (it was 1 y/o when I got her) but it's just not the same.......tho I do love her now...took me 3 years though *laughs*.....the other one I had since kittendom.....

Still, keep us posted and will pray Fred does real well....

FRED is gorgeous!!!!! Thanks 4 sharing...nm

Hugs & Kisses From Fred
Hugs and Kisses to all of Fred's new friends and well wishers. You have made both of us feel so much better about the predicament we are in. We thank you for your prayers and thoughtfulness, and we will let you know as soon as the deed has been done. Fred didn't seem to mind when my hair turned gray and my skin started to wrinkle, and I will love Fred unconditionally, tail or no tail!

xxxoooxxxoooxxxooo

Rest in peace, Fred!
We just put our 22-year-old cat, Fred, to sleep this evening. He had wasted away from 17 pounds to 5 pounds and was too weak to stand or eat. He was a loving companion for the past 22 years and will be missed dearly.

Rest in peace, Fred. Benny, Gus, and Lily will be waiting in heaven to greet you with open arms!

My furkids wish Fred well and I wish your family well. So sorry...nm

Yes, God bless Fred, and God Bless you in your kindness and love...sm
We had to put two of our pets, to gorgeous cats that had been our babies for 16+ years, in much the same story, they had gotten to the point where they were suffering and would suffer more. Horrible, heartbreaking decision, hurts like heck, but I do believe there have to be darling pets in Heaven, I cannot imagine how it would be heaven without them, they are so precious and give us so much love and happiness! So sorry for your loss!
