My beloved Snickers giving me a hug. Snicky was my first cat, and when he died at age 19, he took a part of my heart with him. He battled liver disease in the last few months of his life, he was blind and deaf, but still played, got around and picked on that catnip sock of his all night long! I...
I have a story for you that may give you hope.
In early 2005, my cat Snickers, who was 14 years old at the time, suddenly developed Struvite crystals. I found him the same way - laying in a weird place, bloody urine, hunching over to pee. Took him to my Vet and they unblocked him (got all the...
Hammie's favorite toy is a stuffed mouse, that he carries around 'singing' to, and then he drowns it in the water bowl! I heard he does this to show ownership of the bowl...
Zorro doesn't play... he's old and grumpy...
Skippy's favorite toys are area rugs. He likes to go running full speed and...
He does 'smile' quite a bit. During his neutering, Maria at our Vet's office said, "he was actually smiling with his mouth open the whole time!".... they said his bottom jaw is so large because he went so long with his boy-parts (they were um, horrifingly huge), she said his jaw will most likely...
On weekdays: 1 ounce of plain, whole, unsalted almonds. A serving is 24 almonds. Starts my day out right with protein, fills me up, and helps to balance blood sugar issues!
On weekends: whatever the hubby wants to make. He is the breakfast guy on weekends. Eggs of course, adore eggs! Bacon if...
You guys were right... it was THE hardest decision we've had to make in a LONG time.
We took her yesterday... when I got home, KC was still on her sheepskin bed. She was heaving to breathe and she just looked SO tired.
Hubby came home and we got the garden ready... her little spot. I tried to...
I hate to have to post this, but I just made an appt for KC to have her put down today.
She ate a few treats and that was it, that was Friday. She hasn't touched food or water. She did go to the bathroom but it was such a scant amount... we kept her in quarantine in the bedroom until last...
Okay - I have news!
We still have KC quarantined in the 4th bedroom. Overnight apparnetly she PEED and POOPED!!!!
I told the kids the only way I can get her through this and NOT have her put down is if she goes potty! AND SHE DID!!! My daughter scraped through the box and found it!
So KC...
Thanks for the reply guys. You always help me!
I called my Vet, they know me REAL well. They said that K.C. is probably already in kidney failure. I told them she had a few treats a few nights ago and I know for a fact she hasn't used the potty since 5pm last night (UNLESS by some miracle, she...
Hi all. My cat Miss K.C. hasn't been acting right. We do not know how old she really is. She was a stray who came to me back in late 1994. At that time --- she weight 3 pounds and was dirty, wormy, full of mites. Very icky, because she was a 'street rat'. Welp I took her in, cleaned her up, and...
17 years ago, I found a kitten in my garage with a broken back leg. It had broken and then REGROWN into that broken position. What the Vet did was re-break the leg (Snickers was put under for the operation) and put a long splint in the bone. The leg had to be immobilized but we're talking...
A couple of months ago, I just got a trim. I only get 'trims' every 8 weeks or so because I am growing out my third lock for 'Locks of Love'. (I am a hair donor and will be donating in mid 2009)
