Bone Cancer

This is what a cat who had severe bone cancer looks like. All of the areas that look rough and are darker colored are the cancer affected areas, you can especially see how it inflamed her jaw joint in the bottom picture. She was underground for about 3 years, so the weakest parts of the bone has been eroded away. This cat lived to be 18 years old!

About the cat:
This skull used to belong to one of my cats named Stormy. She was a big white and gray spotted cat. When she passed away, we buried her in the back yard. Three years later when we moved, my Mom didn't want to leave her there so asked me to dig up what I could to be reburied at our new house. (Stormy was her cat, my Mom loved her dearly.) I cleaned up her skull, and I never expected to see this. I knew she had cancer, but we never had any idea that it was this severe. She was a great cat. She hated me with a passion, but I respect her anyway. She was one of those cats who loved one person only. When I was little, she used to stalk me around corners and attack my ankles, and used to give me the most evil evil eye ever. But looking back now, it was pretty funny. And maybe if I was more respectful then, she wouldn't have hated me so much. xD
