*big hugs for you*

I know exactly how you feel, lex. I have kitties too, in fact, I lost one when I was 18 to kidney failure .. and my parents lent me money to help him live comfortably with Diabetes for 3 years before that point. We had had that cat since I was 4 months old.

And the two cats I have now, I would do whatever I could for them. I love them, they're my babies damnit!

So, I know how you're feeling What's wrong with your sweetheart?

 

[nasty]

I'm SO SORRY to hear that. My cat just died this year. You may think, oh, it's just a pet, but, pets are people to.

 

[patient1]

Sorry

Piease keep us advised.

 

[sexy-girl]

aww im sorry


my old dog had two big operations for a twisted stomach and i know the worry you must be going through but he pulled through hopefully your kitty will be ok too

 

[JaymesBlond007]

So much talk about loss of life. Hope I didn't get you in a down mood.

I'm sure everything will be allright.

I know how you feel. I "only" have a guinea pig now after my dog died and lives with my parents since I'm at university in another country but he is everything to us. Leopold, that's his name, is a sort of subsitute for my parents since I'm away.

God I love him.

I lost my dog on New Year's day, after an illness. I'm still dealing with it from time to time and have yet to pick up his water and food bowls, or his rug he sat on to eat so the kitchen floor wasnt too cold. I miss him very much, his nails clicking on the floor as he approached, big eyes looking to play.

Its not 'just a cat', we form deep bonds with our pets.

Lexie, I wish you and her the best for a recovery.

I am sorry to hear about your kitty. My cat is nearly 16 years old and she is still my baby. I hope everything works out, we are sending lots of get well purrs from Texas. Teresa & Secret

I spent a small fortune keeping my first cat alive and relatively well when he became diabetic and his kidneys started to fail. I was at the vet twice a week for for a long time, and then less frequent as he got better. I learned to give him insulin shots, too.
People asked why I spent so much money on him. I always did a comparison. Would I rather have my cat, or "x" that I could buy with the money if I didn't spend it on the cat. The cat always won over "x." It really was no contest.

I hope your kitty does well in the hospital. Miracles do happen. Even for pets.

Hugging leXie......hope she pulls through............

 

[Mischka]

She's not "just a cat" - she's a part of your life, and a deserving recipient of your love and concern. I wish you both the very best, and I'll keep my fingers crossed for a speedy recovery.

 

[Desdemona]

I'm sorry your baby is sick. It really is devastating to have a beloved pet be ill. I'll be hoping for a speedy recovery! Do let us know.

 

[seXieleXie]

i want to thank everyone for the support. i'm glad other people know how i feel

i'm supposed to call the vet in an hour... so i really don't know anything yet

my mom is being difficult about the money. "now that you aren't paying rent we just don't have much extra" i really don't appreciate her being petty over something like this oh well... i'll figure something out.

thanks again to everyone. *hugs*

Modest mouse, I am so sorry about your dog. I had tears in my eyes when I read this. *hug* I love cats and dogs too. I had to put my last dog down and she was a great friend to me.

Lexie I hope things work out with your baby. You are in my thoughts.

good news

i spoke to the vet's assistant and it looks like max (my kitty) is going to be okay. they want her to stay at the cat hospital until tomorrrow afternoon but she should be able to come home then. i'll need to talk to my family about taking care of her and the wound after i go back to school, but i think they will cooperate.

the power of plastic and some incredible friends are helping me resolve the financial end of the matter.

again, thank you all for the positive vibes. miracles really do happen!

Great news! Good thoughts still heading to you and Max.

 

[nasty]

That's GREAT, Lexie. I hope your Mom gets over her Scrooginess and decides to help you out. I mean, what would she think<knocks on wood,)if you're in the hospital? You're her baby,(and mine, I WISH,) and, your cat is YOURS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Wiggles]

I'm glad to hear your Kitties doing ok. Isn't it hard to leave them in those cages at the vet?

Have you asked the vet if they'll accept payments, instead of paying all at once? I know my vet offered me that option when I voiced concerns about how much it would cost to spray/nueter my two cats.

 

[Starfish]

I didn't see this until just now, but I am glad that it is all working out. You said something and it made me think, so I just wrote this, because I have been thinking of the kitties that I've had, that are now passed on.

"Just a cat" by G.R.

When I am sad, you always know
You come and wrap your tail around me like a bow
Hugging to me close, your body seems to sweep softly upon me until my trouble finally goes.

When I am waking each day, you always come to happily greet
Kneading and pawing at me with your tiny, little feet.
You spend time on my rocking chair or out in my garden, you lovingly look over the house or yard, as though you are it's guardian.

When I love you, each and everyday
Even now that you've gone away
I will miss you, but in the deepest parts of my heart, I will know your soul will always be with me, even though our bodies are apart.

Sorry to hear about your cat seXieleXie, I know exactly how you feel. This mornign I had to bring my dog to the vet, she has been unwell for a couple of days I had hoped it was just a small bug.

It turned out she has a disease of the womb and general sepsis. She will be operated on today, I have to call the Vet in 3 hours, 8 minutes to find out how she is.

My mother asked me if I was wise paying the bill. This is an 12 year old dog, going blind in both eyes and I may have to travel to find work when I leave uni in a number of months. The cost of the treatment will mean I have to cut back on a few things, like a social life, but whats a few pints of beer compared to a loved one's life?

 

[Desdemona]

I'm so glad you're kitty is going to be ok. Thats a great way to start my morning!!!

Astro, good luck with your dog. We'll be thinking of you and hoping for good news.
