I told a "friend" last night about my cat who was just diagnosed with cancer and he was really sweet about it. Just now, however, he felt it necessary to email me a link relating pet cancer to second hand smoke, like I was somehow to blame for my cat's condition.

I think that was a very mean and unnecessary thing for him to do. :angry: :angry: :angry:

I agree. But...he probably had no clue he was being a jerk.

Doesn't sound like a supportive friend. So sorry about your cat. When the vet told me our dog had cancer, I burst into tears.

no two people ever see one thing the same way. I doubt he was trying to be cruel, he was probably just trying to show you the risk in case you decided to get another kitty. Sorry for your bad news

I have, but he hasn't responded to the email and he won't answer his phone.

all he did is inform you,
Problem is guys and girls want support in different ways

Girls want emotional: "aww i'm sorry sweety"

Guys want ways to fix things or answer to why "i.e second hand smoke"

He was just being a guy

My cat died of a large tumor in his abdomen. I didn't notice it until it was far too advanced. I think that it was my smoking that did it to him. It was one of things that made me quit. I still don't really forgive myself. My eyes are now tearing thing about him. We were together for so much of my life.

I found out about second hand smoke and pets on my own. It didn't help me feel any better when I found it. He sent it to you to help you quit, not to be malicious.

How can you blame yourself so quickly when there's little around us that doesn't cause cancer nowadays dear? flowerforyou

If just being a guy means being an insensitive coldhearted pig, then I guess he was just being a guy. I'm sorry, I'm not trying to take this out on you. I'm just really upset and hurt that he would do that.
