| Squamous Skin Cancer in Cats  | | | |  White cats usually get skin cancer after about the age of 10 or 12, or sometimes even sooner, if they are an outdoor cat or even an indoor-outdoor cat. It is usually on their ears and nose, or sometimes the eye lids. It is caused by sun exposure. It is the saddest thing I have ever seen. My cherished friend has this on her nose and we are just counting down the days until the vet said it would reach her lungs eventually. They would not do surgery on her nose because they said it would require reconstructive surgery. I cannot afford expensive chemo treatments that are two hours away for may cat when my family can barely afford food sometimes. I just don't think it's right for cats to be white. They usually all get this. It is terrible.

| |  I had a cat, he has a lot of white on him, but he got cancer on his dark ears. I finally had to have part of one ear removed because of it.
But he died of kidney failure and hyperthyroidism...

| | I rarely see cats die of old age anymore. They all get some kind of cancer or failure of an organ or something. That's in my case though. Strange. | | | |

| | I must say I regret not mentioning before in the last post, that I am sorry for your loss. It is hard to loose these little animals we come to love so dearly. We all must go though I guess. | | | |

| | Henry has been gone 4 and a half years, and while we loved him dearly, we didn't like to see him suffer.
So, since I still have loads of cats, I feel like I'm doing my bit to improve the world for at least these little cats... | | | | | | | Pancreas Cancer Diagnosis CTCA Tailors Treatment Plans to Patients' Specific Needs. Call Us. www.CancerCenter.com | add comment | | | |

| |  My mum had a white cat which had to be put to sleep due to being fraile of old age.Her white cat had skin cancer on the tops of the ears and she had used sun screen on the cats ears aswell.The cat had to have the tip removed and that was due to the skin cancer that she had.So even the sun and sun cream has it in for the cats aswell as us humans.

| | I know. I have heard of the sunscreen method of protecting cats on the ears, but it probably barely works or not at all. That may be true for us humans too huh. | | | | | | | Cancer Treatment Fighting Cancer - Chat with an Oncology Specialist Now. www.healthcentral.com | add comment | | | |
