Disheartening news for our kitty Poyo, unfortunately... Just came out from the vet.
Based on the tumor appearance and past histopath report from a clinic Poyo been to before, it's diagnosed as fibrosarcoma. It's actually quite shocking to everyone coz Poyo was tested -ve for FIV&FeLV already.

When the doctor opened her mouth all lower jaw incisors are gone... Discussed with doctor on the treatment and decided that considering the local aggressiveness of fibrosarcoma, CT scan is to be undergone first focusing the lung area (for verifying the spread region) then from there decide whether to remove part of the lower jaw.

Heard using the stethoscope, Poyo has a strong heart. It's just so unfortunate that she has to undergo such hardship. Even the doctor welled up as we spoke...

Waiting for the CT scan result.
So sad to hear that. any updates on the ct scan?

Even tho we knew and are prepared tat Girl Girl's days are numbered, I still feel the pain & sadness each time I tell Girl Girl "I'll see you tomorrow" after I have spent an hour or 2 with her at the hospital, cos' I'll never know if today will be the last day. The song "If tomorrow never comes" by Barry Manilow rang in my mind, and I really really hope Girl Girl know how much we loved her and tat she is no longer a stray but she has got us her mummy n daddy.

Jus the other day when I carried her in my arms, I cldn't hold back my tears. Girl Girl looked up at me with her innocent big eyes as if telling me "Mummy pls dun cry", this happened 2 times.
So I promised her and myself tat I will not cry but to stay positive for her, tat I will cherish every moment with her at the hospital holding her, cuddling her, kissing her on her cheeks n little head, patting her, telling her over n over again tat we love her sayang her so she feel loved n comforted till her time on earth is up.

Spoken to Dr. GH the day before abt her condition, she had to be syringe fed as she is not eating on her own for the past week or so, she is losing alot of weight, having not so pleasant breath as she may have 20% of her kidney working hard. But Girl Girl still look alert albeit being less active. We decided not to give her any aggressive medical intervention, jus focus on letting her to be as comfortable as possible. I really hope Girl Girl does not have to suffer pain at the end stage but to go naturally. Dr GH said Girl Girl is a fighter, and she has been fighting hard so long it may be time for her to rest now. I wish I will be by her side when it's time for her to go so she will not be alone.



So sad to see this :(. She was hospitalized for very long right? poor thing

CT scan showed that there's no cancer spread in the lungs of Poyo. Soon after the scan, the surgery was carried out and part of her lower jaw (including lower jaw canines) were removed and stitched up. She's been wearing the collar since her discharge from the vet on Monday. The collar is a must since she would've scratch open the stitched-up area without it, but mostly due to the collar she's very down emotionally and moves very little throughout the whole day (can still go to toilet herself). We put her on a stool near bedroom window so she gets to enjoy some cat TV.

The silver lining is that despite part of the lower jaws gone, she doesn't need syringe feeding and her appetite is good. She's doing better than expected during hospitalisation stay (can eat Whiskas packed tuna). Back home, I use microwave to heat up canned chicken+salmon to 40c-ish temp, and she will respond to the smell and finish up almost the whole can's contents. She doesn't respond to the water fountain (guess partly related to the collar obstructing maybe) but judging from the toilet her liquid intake is guaranteed by the soft canned food. She meows at us when we come back from work, and sleeps right next to us in the night.

We are visiting the vet end of this week / early next week for post-surgery observation. Looking forward to the day that she can be relieved from the collar and back to her kepoh personality (albeit I know it's not gonna be soon since the stitch material is absorbable and we were told that it would take 2-3 months time).

Now totally broke. No money to even buy food. Luckily my sis passed me some cash :(. Must wait till Nov then I got the money to sterilize them.


One of the kittens is a cute baby calico. Last week we found her buttocks covered in glue. So now she is hospitalized as vet needs to remove the glue slowly. So the money I have now will be used for her medical fees.


The rental block residents who keep abandoning cats are against sterilization. On Jan, I engaged trapper to sterilize 2 cats, About 20 malays crowded around me and the trapper and verbally abused me saying that its against their religion to sterilize cats, its cruel to sterilize cats.. etc. Its getting too stressful and frustrating nowadays. They keep abandoning cats and refuse to sterilize and expect me to feed the cats. I think by end of this yr I maybe forced to quit. A lot of money is being wasted.
