breathe with what little lung capacity was left.\u00a0 Additionally, they found a baseball-size mass in his abdominal area that they suspect was cancer.<\/p>\n<p>This was a hard decision.\u00a0 Nova has faced adversity several times in the past, including a recurring lymph node problem (since he was a kitten) and kidney issues (over the last few years).\u00a0 He was definitely a fighter and a trooper, but I don\u2019t think he would have won this battle, even if we pulled out all the stops.<\/p>\n<p>Nova lived a long life, almost 14 years.\u00a0 He was a great companion, a beautiful animal, and he will be missed.<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\">\n<table width=\"500\" border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" align=\"center\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td valign=\"top\"
