We took Luce to another vet tonight. Unfortunately the prognosis is still bad. This is almost doubly hard, because it got our hopes up.
He had fluid extracted from around his lungs, which seems to have increased his energy. We are going to do what we can for him. He is outside hunting right now, his absolute most favorite thing to do, It's a beautiful, warm, moonlit night.
I'm not a wuss, or anything like that. I grew up on a farm, and have seen more animals die than most groups of 50 people will see in a lifetime. I'm a seriously tough guy.
I'm sure everyone can understand. Luce was a special cat, a once in a lifetime cat. He's been part of Marisa and I's life from our first days.
I'm as surprized as anyone at how much this hurts.
