Today I had to say a hard goodbye to my round, sweet boy Smidge. Found at 4 weeks old in 2012, he grew up to be aloof & independent, but so in love with his boyfriend Peanut. He grew more cuddly the last couple years. Sadly, he developed an aggressive osteosarcoma in his mouth. I will miss him so.

Mouth cancers can be so wicked. I’m so sorry Smidge’s time with you was cut short. 💚

Rest well little Smidge, and meet new friends on the other side of the bridge. I've lost multiple fuzzy children to cancer, it's just a horrible disease.

I am so sorry. We lost our dear Scottish Fold Patches more than a decade ago to a mouth cancer. I still miss her. She loved to chase her tail, especially after we made the bed. She’d spin circles. Be kind to yourself and I hope the good memories help alleviate the grief.

(Actually, he was found in 2015**, but the sentiment remains. Too young, too fast. All cancer sucks but some sucks more than others).
