We took Lavi to the vet for what appeared to be some tooth problems.

It’s a tumor, and an aggressive malignant one in her head.

She probably will not make it to year’s end.

She’s had a good run, being over 17½, and had survived a bout of hepatic lipidosis about 5½ years ago, but it looks like she will not make it through year’s end.

It’s to be expected when cats reach this age, but it is still a bummer.
