I thought about backing out and not seeing it happen, but I owed it to him to be there for the end, and owed it to myself to know it was better than dying scared and alone under a bed. I consider it a last act of love. I've lost people and animals before, I know how the guilt works. It never...

He lost his fight yesterday morning. I came home from work Wednesday evening and knew it was time. He could barely hold his head up and didn't want to move. I cuddled up with him that whole night and he died in my arms, peacefully, with very little pain (The vet said he was starting to feel pain...

We lost Indy this morning. His condition deteriorated last night and it was obvious that he was done fighting back. I took him to the vet this morning and she said she thought it would be best if he were put down before he starting feeling a lot of pain, and I agreed. I got one last good night...

Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy. His heart wall is too thick.

Okay, I have a happy update. Yesterday evening when I came back from my usual hangout spots, I tried to feed him like I normally do. He acted slightly different this time, he looked up at me like he used to and flicked his tail up. I set the can down, and he yet again refused to eat, but he...

He weighed 11.3 last Thursday (Down from 12.1, so lost about a pound in two weeks). I don't have a scale at home to weigh him, but just by holding him I can tell you he's gotten thinner since Thursday. He's not acting hurt, so right now I'm just giving him the medications the vet gave me (Two...

I just can't stand to see him like this. He used to be so active. 12 pounds of pure muscle that would chase you up the steps, beg for treats and curl up between your legs when it was time to go to sleep. Now he's like a husk. Deathly thin (Visible ribcage if you look hard enough, his spine forms...

So, my 4 year old cat, Indy, has been diagnosed with heart disease. It all started nearly 3 weeks ago. He became lethargic, refused to eat, and wouldn't leave his chair. A vet trip later, and they said his stomach wall was inflamed. A normal, easy to resolve problem. Well, he saw minor...

I'll remember that if we ever need it again. I lift weights (Despite my skinniness), and get sore often as well. So it should come in handy.

We're in a middle-class area. My neighbor has a really awesome Mercedes, all the houses are nice, you can just sort of tell the people living here have some money. Lot of retired people. This also makes it a bad place. There was a non-fatal shooting a few houses down a month ago, and a full-on...

I talked to her about it when we brought him back, and she said that she wants the kittens, and takes care of them when she has them. It's not really a "Feral" cat by definition. She's owned and cared for, just outside and not spayed. I call all outdoor cats ferals :lol3:.

They were. Well, they're in the general area, or possibly hidden. She brought them to her house somewhere. The mom was just sitting behind some shrubs, prpbably hiding from me :lol3:.

Chevy makes my favorite cars, so I'm heavily biased. :lol3: I like the Chevelles (Especially 65), corvettes (57, 63 split window, and of course the new C7 ZO6). I love Pontiac as well, especially the GTO, and the 77 Trans AM, because of Smokey and the bandit :P. And also, forgot to mention...

I'm glad I found it, too. I had no clue how to care for a kitten.

'57 Bel-Air! Not many still appreciate those old cars. Glad to see someone else shares an appreciation for an American classic. But yeah, I was actually kinda sad to see she was moving them. I would sit there for an hour staring at the window, watching them play with each other. They're just...

Yeah, I know, but still, they're just so cute! He'd try and nurse my thumb when I was petting him. And the way he'd meow at me when I picked him up. Oh, and of course the wobhling. He never even walked, just kinda stumbled around. Like we've said though, he's where we belongs now, with his real...

I knew he would be alright this morning. He's a little rascal, kept climbing out of his box! Although, if I had my way, and it was feasible to do so, I would've loved to keep him, but, he belongs with his kind. Maybe he'll remember that the giants are friendly and helpful! Maybe he'll pay me a...

To clarify, feral as in she lives outside with little human interaction. Mari and her husband are the only people who can get close.
