Very sad to hear of this Commander Wallace. It has been a reminder about our cat Max we had to put down in october last year, also because of cancer.
Like in your Tommy's case the cancer had not been diagnosed early enough and correctly although we had been visiting the veterinarian several times.
He sometimes hissed when biting on some food like he had pain in the jaw, which was diagnosed as a bad tooth.
We do not exactly know how old he was (got him from a farm where some sick people obviously had fun to torture cats and other animals), I guess it must have been around 12-14.
After this we made the decison to not get another cat, except in case of an emergency.
