    Artie.....part 1

    It's unfortunate that the Humane Society doesn't see your input as an asset. They're lucky to have someone with your experience and knowledge around. Sometimes even vets will dismiss the concerns of pet parents and not discover an issue until it becomes a serious problem. I hope someday you'll...

    Artie: Two Months

    I'm so sorry you're going through this. No, you did not kill him, you ended his pain when there was nothing more to do. You tried, you tried so hard and for so long, but the time came to let him go. Please believe that and don't blame yourself. I have a picture frame for my furbaby that says...

    Artie: Two Months

    @artiemom I'm so sorry, it seems my email notifications stopped again and I didn't know there had been new replies. :hmmm: Anyway, you have no idea of how often I read about other people (as I previously mentioned, I'm part of a pet grief support group on FB) who have similar things happen to...

    Artie: Two Months

    May all the support from everyone who cares about you and Artie (myself included) give you the strength to get through another anniversary of his passing. :grouphug: We will always remember him, and your journey with him. And trust me, I understood when you wrote that in many ways his loss was...

    Artie: Two Months

    Hi, I was around this site for a while, first while going through some health issues with Pumpkin in 2016, then last year after he passed away. Exactly about a year ago other things started happening in my life: a couple of sudden passings in the family, dealing with news of my elderly...

    From Ibd To Cancer And Going Downhill :'(

    I'm so sorry. Know that you did everything you could to help him. All of us who love our furbabies, if we could I think we'd shave off a few good years out of our lives to give to them...sadly we can't. Sending you hugs.

    Cat Got Attacked, Will She Heal Ok?

    Maybe consider having her tested for FIV/Felv in the future. Ask your vet how long you should wait after this attack to have her tested. Not saying this to scare you, but better safe than sorry. :wink:

    Artie and his Issues

    Usually when kitties start on a new food they like, they'll eat quite a bit of it, almost like they can't get enough. Then as the novelty wears off they'll scale back a bit. It's okay, as long as he's eating. :jive: I'm sorry you're not feeling well. Rest up. Short updates are fine. :kiss:

    Cat Secondary Hip Cancer

    I'm sorry. :grouphug: Thank you for giving her peace. Even though it rips our hearts out, we must do what is best for them. :sunshine:

    Urgent

    If the new kitty hasn't received a thorough check-up and vaccines, it would be a good idea to get that done (be sure the fiv/felv test is included).

    Cat Secondary Hip Cancer

    I don't have any answers, I'm just so sorry that you and your kitty have to go through this. Every time I read about cases of cancer and so many other complicated, horrible diseases on this site I wish our furry companions weren't prone to many of the same illnesses people are. Sorry again, I...

    Cats Dying And L Cannot Bear To Let Go....

    I agree with what the others have posted. If she's still trying to eat she might have a chance but cancer is one s.o.b. disease we unfortunately can't beat forever in our pets (I lost my furbaby to this horrible disease). I know that devastating feeling of not wanting to let go; you feel as if a...

    Artie and his Issues

    No, I didn’t mean that our suggestions are what caused her to stress out to the point she had to take a break. What I was doing was trying to give her reassurance that we know she knows what’s best for Artie, that we’re aware of how sick he is and even though we hope he is around for a long...

    Artie and his Issues

    I wholeheartedly agree with this. This isn't meant to offend anyone, it's just that I think sometimes, while people try to be supportive and uplifting, to the person going through the stress, heartache and fear of losing a loved one, it can begin to feel like pressure. Example: When I was going...

    Artie and his Issues

    Happy to know Artie is doing better. :jive: And, I too, envy your cold, rainy, dark weather. Nothing but triple digit temperatures at this time of year where I live. I went out to the trash bin and there was this breeze--I swear, it felt like it burned the skin! :fireblob:
