Please send some good vibes my way

[Jencat]

Saponista - I'm so sorry about your kitty. Hugs!

No judgement here either. Being another resident of semi-rural America, my cats--and the cats of everyone I know--roam freely. I would be happier if I could keep them in, however they are having none of it.

My heart breaks for you, I know exactly how you feel. I'm sending good thoughts your way and hoping things start looking up for you soon!

Saponista, this news is beyond tragic. Being a cat mum myself, I know just how great the love can be for a beloved pet and how giant and empty the hole they leave behind in our heart is when they leave. My heart breaks for you that your little boy has been taken from you so suddenly. I am so, so sorry for your loss. May he rest in peace.

 

[Saponista]

Thank you everyone for your kind words, just taking it day by day at the moment, totally devastated.

*hugs tight* I'm so, so sorry Saponista.

 

[Saponista]

I'm sorry I hijacked your thread flyby, thanks for the hugs

And more bad news. Jack's willingness to eat has been going down the last couple of weeks. At first, the vets thought it was because of the meds he was on, but we took some blood & urine samples yesterday.

So far the blood sample has come back anemic and with a sky-high WBC count. Vet is running a leukemia test on it and we're still waiting for the urine results. After they're in, Jack's going to need to go to a specialist.

Oh my gosh flyby, so sorry.

 

[Jencat]

That sucks . I hope whatever he had can be easily treated.

 

[FlybyStardancer]

And even worse news. Acute leukemia.

 

[Saponista]

Oh no (((( sending my love your way xxx

 

[Ruthie]

I'm so sorry to hear this. Sending a virtual hug to you both.

I'm really sorry to hear it's leukemia. I had a cat who had it and she was young. I found her scrounging through garbage behind an apartment building near me and took her home. I know how I felt after having her for only a few days. It must be heart breaking for you.

 

[jules92207]

Sending lots and lots of hugs...

I'm really sorry to hear about the leukaemia. Big hugs from me as well. I hope his treatment goes well and my thoughts are with you.

Also wanted to say a belated sorry to Saponista. It's devastating to lose a cat to an accident and it sounds like it's on top of a really rough time. We had a brother and sister and lost the brother to a speeding driver. I cried for days, they really are part of the family. I truly hope things improve for you. My thought are with you too.

 

[FlybyStardancer]

We ended up putting him down. Between its advanced stage, his heart murmur, and the experience my Dad and I went through with my mom's cancer, there was no other option.

I didn't have nearly enough time with him, but loved him and took as best care as I could for what time I had him.

 

[jules92207]

Oh sweetie, I am so sorry.

I'm so sorry it had to come to this. Jack was lucky to have had you loving and caring for him. I've been following this thread; but just never joined in because your situation was so similar to ones I've had. Your love and dedication to him was obvious by how hard you were willing to get him the medical care he needed. I'm sure Jack knew how much you loved him.

 

[lenarenee]

Saponista, I'm sorry for the loss of your kitty too. Don't worry about my judging your decision to let your cat outside. I'm in the U.S., and I made the same choice. My Sheba would literally clim walls and jump out second story windows in order to be outside. Maybe it's because I grew up on a farm, but I just find it unnatural for animals to be wholly secluded indoors. I choose to let her be inside/outside, knowing she might live a much shorter, but more satisfying life.

FlybyStardancer -

You have my deepest condolences. I wish I knew what to say to help ease the pain.
