    How do you know - and when you know and you live in the boonies?

    Hi Margot, It's been incredibly hard these last 5 months. Mati was such a great light. We had a very, very close connection, bonded on a soul level. I am still grieving but better. There isn't a day or hour that I don't think of her. She was one of the sweetest, fiestiest and most sensitive of...

    Feeling numb basically.

    Thank you. Thank you. Amen. Amen. Amen. I have not stopped crying all day. Praying and crying, crying and pacing, holding her mouse toy, talking to her, talking to God, talking to the angels, crying and crying and crying and crying. The house is completely empty without her. I recalled the...

    Feeling numb basically.

    Matitiayhu, named after a great Hebrew warrior, she was born just before the holiday of Chanukah. I had moved from upstate NY with my 3 beloved cats to Israel. I don't know why I came here. Honestly, it was just after 9/11. It was hunch, a feeling, maybe I could help. Be a shepherdess in the...

    Thank you so much. She has passed. Decided with the blood and urine taken. It's been a hard journey these last months since her anemia was dx'd. I should have taken her to this vet we just came back from. He is the best. I had to take a taxi to get there - it cost me a lot, but I trusted this...

    How do you know - and when you know and you live in the boonies?

    She was suffering too much. She had a long life but one filled with many surgeries and health issues. She was the feistiest, smartest, most sensitive of all my cats. The last. I will have no more. I thought we could do it at home. There were no more options. I prayed, put crystals, cried, kissed...

    How do you know - and when you know and you live in the boonies?

    We just got back from the vet. After 3 doctors saw her, blood and urine were taken, it was found that she had kidney and liver involvement. She has passed. She was an extraordinary feline. The best of the best. I won the lottery when I met her. May her memory be a blessing. She was a very...

    How do you know - and when you know and you live in the boonies?

    I was in this situation 5 years back with my mama cat. Vet messed things up. It was very very hard for her for me. Now I am at a loss what to do. Mind fuddled. I am going to her and telling her all of these things and more. She is truly an amazing and sensitive soul. I don't know though what she...

    How do you know - and when you know and you live in the boonies?

    We live on a mountaintop, without a car, without family, without anyone but God almighty to help. Seriously. And now, my Mati who is 18 and has had so many things going on with her health is in decline. Food is being refused. I am ministering to her IV's and giving her via syringe pureed...

    Why is the clumping kitty litter being used up so quickly? A bag a week for one cat?

    Yes, huge, huge. I have a plastic bag for the pieces. That goes to the trash. She was in the vet in September. Since then no. Money issues and all sorts. She's been drinking a bit more due to the dry food I leave out and she midnight snacks on that. So...more drink, more pee. But then there's...

    Why is the clumping kitty litter being used up so quickly? A bag a week for one cat?

    Definitely I take out the whole chunk and it's massive because we're dealing with Mati's drinking more. So there's a lot of extra discard. Idk if we're able to get the Tofu litter in Israel where we're situated - also in the boonies. The best we can hope for is this type. Been through other...

    Why is the clumping kitty litter being used up so quickly? A bag a week for one cat?

    18kg bags of charcoal activated, bentonite clumping clay divided into 2 litter boxes - and we're zipping through that in roughly a week, max 2. How? And to compound things, if it's not 100% clean (which I am doing - cleaning, scooping - daily) she will deposit you know what on the bathroom...

    No success administering B12 shots

    It's not refrigerated. Could be she is just sensitive. IDK.

    No success administering B12 shots

    The syringe is 1cc - she received approximately 1/2cc - or a little less than that.

    No success administering B12 shots

    It was just a bit less than half of an insulin syringe (orange cap). I chose this syringe because it's the smallest and thinnest gauge I could find. She doesn't react to the needle but to the B12 - which I've at times myself also experienced it as somewhat uncomfortable.

    I think about 5cc got in. It hurts her too much. :/
