The cats generally adapt very well to 3 meters. However, I'd be over with surgery and then find a cancer elsewhere in the body of the cat to worry. This is a difficult operation, regardless of your cat. You need to decide the quality of life for your cat with and without surgery.

I have a POM with four legs and three legs. The vet said he was still a bloody stump, because she would try to leave. I am pleased to say that they are 4 years and never had a problem. She runs, jumps and plays just like the others.

No, but I would say that in front of you a lot of money for the operation.

I had three legs of the cat. He lost a leg to attack a coyote. Barney fineafter broken leg was amputated.
But Barney was a kitten, when he lost his leg.

As bone cancer, I think my cat has died. I was eleven years old, was seen as arthritis in the elbow, and he died this year to 13 years. How you been diagnosed with arthritis, however, such as arthritis, "refused, just like the rest of his health. I believe that the spread of the pancreas, because he finally ate and ate and ate and progressivly thin and lost control of his bowels and shit .... S cat is not normal. I had in January will be shelved.

You are in a dam, if you dammed if you do not like the situation. A cat of nine years, and the "old" and can not tolerate major surgery. And that means the cancer without treatment - possibly with an amputated leg of your cat, your cat will not live too long.

I suggest if your cat appears healthy and happy, to enjoy his company, where ca. And if he signs of serious deterioration, then shelved before it really suffers.
