Lui was diagnosed with carcinoma in situ earlier this year after we discovered a persisting sore on his nose. The vets attempted Cryogenic therapy and cauterisation, but nothing has helped. Lui gets terrible nosebleeds and loses a large amount of blood each time this happens. Lui has just turned 11 and has so much life left in him, most nights at about 9pm, we call it witching hour. Both out cats, Lui and Tilly chase each other around the house; knocking things over and making a complete racket.

For the last two years, I have suffered with a chronic pain disorder and have spent all of my time at home, Lui and I have become inseparable and he has become my main support system.

When I was a child, I would walk home from school and everyday without fail he would be waiting for me at the end of the street to walk me home.

Lui is my best friend and he's taught me how much I can love something, I can not imagine a world without him.

I acknowledge that there are others on this site that are also facing life threatening illnesses and situations, Lui has the same value to me and to my life as any human ever could.
