Just was going to say this. I lost a cat to oral cancer. It was absolutely horrible 😢

I lost my sweet, beautiful gentle tuxedo queen to oral cancer, too. OP if you have not already, please go get your orange dude checked asap. Oral cancer is quick but very brutal. Hopefully your sweetie is just super relaxed

PS - my cat's cancer was inoperable and I had her take a chemo med that bought her a couple of months, but I would not make that choice again. It was a rough way to go and I should have put her down much sooner

Same. Lost my girl of 14 years. It was hiding under her tongue. The vet saw it during a dental cleaning and accidentally ripped it a little when lifting the tongue and it metastasized. Had her for a little over a month after that slowly getting worse. I paid for a service to come to the house and peacefully put her down in her favorite spot with me near her. I wouldn’t have changed a thing. Just a quick terrible way for them to go when this is the case. Cancer is brutal and terrible to see the furbabies get it. :(
