Things over here are steady at the moment. The vet took a needle biopsy the other week, to see what kind of tumor it is (bone or soft tissue), but the results came back inconclusive. They said to mum they could take a larger biopsy sample via an op or just take his leg 
but mum decided to leave everything as it is.
Whichever type of tumour it turns out to be wouldn't be treatable, and he seems quite comfortable at the moment. They said that theyre pretty sure it hasn't spread anywhere else so that's good. Mum's doing ok, but constantly worries about if she's doing the right thing.
We're just taking it one day at a time. I've not yet had the courage to ask her about having the vet come visit when the time comes. But I will try and speak to her about it. It's such an awkward topic to try and talk about.
Thank you everyone who's posted and shared stories on here, I do read them all - sometimes it's hard for me to reply. I'm sorry for the losses, I hope everyone is doing okay.

while he's happy & comfortable, there's no rush to decide anything lovely X he might go on for a good long time like that, who's to say, if nothing changes for the worse then you're doing the right thing just......not doing anything for the moment except taking each day as it comes. As long as little boy is happy enough, just enjoy it, and stop worrying for now, I know that's easy to say but if you spend every day fretting it will spoil every day you have with him (if that makes sense). Xx
Thank you @Facehugger I really appreciate it, very true I'll try my best to stop worrying so muchLuna

You're welcome & no thanks required at allThank you @Facehugger I really appreciate it, very true I'll try my best to stop worrying so much
Hey Luna how are things? This thread popped into my head last night, hope all is ok xx
Hi Gembo, things seem ok at the moment I went to see family yesterday and had some good hugs with our boy. I think he's learning that he can't jump on the sofa on his own anymore, before he would launch himself at the sofa and fail to get up, but now he sits and waits to be lifted up. We've made him a nice cosy quiet corner on the floor too. He seems okay for the most part.
Thank you for thinking of us
Glad he's pottering along ok Luna X I'd hoped things had settled for you and he was doing ok as he is for now, and you were enjoying some time with him. I hope nothing changes and you carry on like that for a good long time yet, bless him x
I'll share something nice hopefully to make you smile. So, my old cat who had to be PTS when the vet came out a couple of years ago used to sleep in my son's room. Since it happened, my younger little cat had never gone in there, it was so strange. She just wouldn't.
Well, this week she's decided she can now finally fill the gap, she is in there all the time cuddling up and sleeping right in the middle of the bed, I struggle to get her out!

Hope he will be ok for a long while yet but we are all here if you need us xxHi Gembo, things seem ok at the moment I went to see family yesterday and had some good hugs with our boy.

I'm sorry to jump on this thread, but I needed to tell someone. We have to put out cat down tomorrow, I am so upset. We rehomed him last year and he was honestly the most wonderful cat, he is my baby. He was hit by a car 4 months ago, made a really good recovery despite coming home with a feeding tube. But he's now paralyzed from the waist down due to a rare complication on his spine. I feel so guilty making this choice for him 
That decision is the hardest one as an animal owner and it broke me making it. But sadly that’s love. He can’t make it. Don’t feel guiltyI'm sorry to jump on this thread, but I needed to tell someone. We have to put out cat down tomorrow, I am so upset.

Just know you gave him good times and be there for him. Sorry you are in this position xxBless you x you gave him a loving home and have done everything you can do for him by the sound of it. Please don't feel guilty about your decision, it's not a choice when there really is no choice and you have no alternative that will give him any better quality of life. You are doing what is right for him. Sending you love and hugs, wish you strength and courage for tomorrowI'm sorry to jump on this thread, but I needed to tell someone.

xSo sorry to hear this. Please don't feel guily. You really have no choice. I think every pet owner who has had to do this will tell you it is a roller coaster of emotions. I remember when we had our beautiful girl PTS I couldn't sign the consent form. I just couldn't take the pen and sign it. My husband was there and did it. The vets had offered us to send her to a specialist animal hospital for MRI etc during the consultation. If I did that it would have been for my benefit not for hers. I knew I would not put her through it. You are doing the right thing but it will hurt you deeply. Give him the best day. Lots of fuss and reassurance. Sending you a big hug xI'm sorry to jump on this thread, but I needed to tell someone. We have to put out cat down tomorrow, I am so upset.

Just giving this a little bump up for @JoeBloggs hope you are surviving the day, been thinking of you, bless you. Xx
Oh that’s so kind, we’ve got just a few more hours with him. I keep getting waves of guilt but I know deep down it’s right for him.
