Thank you soooo much for the article! I learned more from that article than I could get the vet to tell me! Hoping this was a one time thing and thanks to that article I understand what really is going on and what to look for. It's been about a week since her glands were done and so far so...

My baby Percy had a little blood on her butt so I took her to pet emergency (her regular vet was booked). They said her anal glands were thick and full. They said they could express them or we could wait and see if she did it on her own. The next day she had loose poop with blood. We took...

Thank you for sharing your experience. The thought occurred to me that the white kitty would come in and the get so scared he'd want to get back out fast. It's sooooo disheartening when you try to do things for them but they don't want the help, summer or winter. I know it would be for me...

Update of warm white kitty. Thanks to all the suggestions and support the white kitty made it ok through the worst of our 100 degree plus weather. Whew. I worry about the outdoor guys in extreme weather. Thankfully they're not predicting any more 100 plus (though you never know) but he's...

Thank you for the wonderful suggestions. Am not comfortable with trying to get him to vet or letting him in the house yet. Tried a cooling pad we had. He wouldn't touch it. Have been putting ice in water but will put out one iced and one non iced. Tried the cold paper towel on his feet. He...

Haven't been brave enough to pursue bringing him in but still trying to keep him cool. Keeping stroking water on his fur. He is eating good. Drinking I don't know. But is managing. We only have one more day prediccted of especially high heat and I'm checking on him all the time to see if...

There is a big white kitty that we think has a home stays around our house a lot. We feed him and give him loves. He's a pretty loving guy but skittish. We think he has a home but aren't sure. We don't let him in our house as we have a 2 yr old little girl and don't know if he has anything...

We adopted our precious tabby baby girl Percy at nine months from the local shelter. She had already had a litter of kittens:frown: She was fostered for several months by a wonderful lady. When we adopted her in late May last year she was cuddly with my husband (who is a cat lover and a...

We have a stray long hair white kitty we call Snowball (dont' know his real name) that we've been feeding and let sleep on our patio. We're pretty sure he has a home but no idea where. He's been around for a couple of years. He is losing his fur on each side of his body in clumps. Hair...

That is something to think about. We're going to a cat cafe next week. All of their cats are up for adoption. I thought I'd try that and see if I enjoy being with the kittties or just burst into tears. If it's tears I think I need to wait. Thanks for your words of advice.

Funny you should say that. To tell the truth I feel like that too. I'm a little afraid to get a new fur baby but I want one so badly. Our house is so empty. Maybe I'll try and when we start looking find I'm not ready. It's nice to know others like you have that feeling. Thank you for...

I went out today and bought things for a new fur baby that we want to adopt. And yet a I'm crying all the while.. We will look for our new fur baby next week but my heart is still breaking.

Oh my gosh....I love the idea that Greta will lead us to the right one! I never thought of that! I do believe that we will know the right one when we find it. No preconceived ideas of I got to have this or that. I truly believe that we will know when we find him or her. But that thought of...

Like you, I will never get over losing Greta. We had another kitty before her, Abby, and I still cry over losing her . She was my mom's cat. When mom passed we took her in. I would sit on the couch with her in my lap and cry into her fur after losing mom. That was her most special place in...

I am so thankful I found your posts. Your words have meant so much while trying to get through this. I have thought about that food scenario too. In my heart I think I know it is true, but right now I somehow hang onto the fantasy that there MUST have been something else I could have done ...

I totally plan on getting another fur baby. I don't know if I could handle more than one but once I work through this grief a bit more I plan to adopt another. I'm not trying to replace Great, but find another little one that needs a home and lots of love. I think will help me get thorugh...

You're right. Sometimes I feel like I just want to die. Like the hurt is so big I just can't go on. Thank you so much for your kind words. The are very comforting. I cry everyday. The tiniest of things set it off. But I don't hold anything back. I move slow, can't concentrate and just...

I think Grisoo is quite the wonderful fur baby. Maybe he'll run into Greta. She will be with our other rainbow kitty Abby. I know they are together.

Thank you so much Margret. Thank you for letting me tell my story to you; to someone who has been down this road. It makes so much difference to talk to someone who has been there. I know you're right. And deep down I want to believe I did all I could. Guess I just have to work through the...

It has been about a month now for our Grta too and there isn't a day that I don't cry. In shock yes. I walk slow, my thinking is slow, I'm just starting to try to do other things to keep busy. It's hard. I too thought our baby would be with us a lot longer and when she wasn't eating I got in...
