Anyone else have or had a cat with cancer? How cats are going to be like/act and what to watch out for are what I'm wondering about, what am I to expect?
There are the stages:
Stage I cancer is when a cancerous tumor is detected and the tumor is small, plus the vet establishes it hasn’t affected any other areas of lymph nodes.
Stage II cancer is when the tumor starts growing, but still doesn’t affect other areas.
Cancer at stage III starts to affect neighboring lymph nodes.
Stage IV is when the tumor has spread to several organs in the body.

My cat had a (mammary) tumor which was cancerous and our vet told use it's an aggressive stage III and she's got about a year let. Though she acts fine, she floats around the house like nothing's wrong, she's strong and agile, and when you open up some treats or a can it's like she's a kitten again. The only difference now is that she's snores sometimes. She has always been a big sleeper but not more than before the diagnosis. I try to limit her jumping height but she still doesn't care. She's holding up good for 15.
