I am better than I was, but guilt will always be there. I went across the street to get the mail. I knew she was out, but just saw her in the back yard. I turned around to the terrible sound of her getting hit. The car didn’t stop but my world did……
My mother was terrified of drowning, so she made suer all of us kids had swimming lessons. I made it to lifeguard status but really never enjoyed swimming. I haven't been in the water for probably 40 years, even though we lived on a lake. I had to clean up some dead fish that were almost as long...
I was thinking either genetic (but in that case, STILL unusual for them to die almost at the same time) or distemper, which almost always kills young kittens quickly. I am so sorry, RIP precious ones.......
I agree, try to get another litter box somewhere, she may be stressed from the surgery and refusing to go where the new kitty smells are. If she is peeing and pooping NEAR the box, that means she wants to use it but something is preventing her. Changes in litter induces this too.
Cats are very sensitive to smells, and she most likely is sensing/smelling your pregnancy hormones. If she seems normal except for the meowing, that is good. She most likely wants to be reassured by you that you are alright because of all the changes, not only in the household but also in you...
I am sure Jackson Galaxy toys would be nontoxic and safe, and it is smoth plastic, so it should be passed safely. Just monitor them both and as long as they keep eating/drinking/using the litterbox, everything should be fine. if one seems to be distressed and stops eating, get them in right...
Oh it's still there, he just picked SO as his number one. Cats bond with usually one person more and no one knows how they choose.....that doesn't mean he isn't bonded with you, he loves you too. You are doing nothing wrong, it is just another strange way cats have about them. Even parents of...
Knowing about the heart problems is half the battle for surgery, they will be ready for anything that pops up. a heart murmur is very common in elderly cats, and elderly humans!
I'll pray that her, stomach problems are no fun......maybe the lung infection being cured changed the way she now smells things and she can enjoy the catmint!
Oh I know! It seems like everything is going well and then something always seems to come up. You are doing really all you can, you can’t bankrupt yourself. Keep your chin up, it’s hard sometimes, especially when the blows keep coming…..
You are having PTSD, post traumatic stress disorder. It is almost impossible to escape it when you are grieving so hard. I was in HORRIBLE shape after my Chrissy died. I had a hand in her death and I will never be the same. Even though none of us would ever hurt our babies, accidents happened...
Redirected aggression. I've had cats like this after a vet visit, they attack any other cat, or pick out one, to attack. i have had it last a week. Try to redirect the attacking cat's attention when she focuses on the other. If she is not spayed, the hormones could be responsible, she is...
I'm so sorry, Les. All your cats are older now and these things happen with older cats and people. It hurts.......14 years old equals 72 years in a human, 21 over a hundred! I know as I age things keep popping up. All you can do is love them and care for them the best you can, you can't do...
