When protecting the baby is life.....

Why so many stories of cats getting cancer in this thread :( I was so happy until I started reading stories in the comments.
Edit: guys I get it, cats get cancer and it's not an uncommon/bad thing for them to get at the end of their lives, it's still kind of sad to hear.
Edit 2: I now have heard more stories about cats dying than my whole life before my comment, I regret my decision...
