Beautiful kitty! I wouldn’t play poker with her, though, cuz she looks like a cheetah:)
FATHER GOD,
You say You know every animal.
Psalm 50:11
“I know every bird of the mountains, And everything that moves in the field is Mine.
You say we are to take care of our pets. We thank You that You give us animals to love.
Proverbs 12:10
A righteous man has regard for the life of his animals.
May You heal LostInBayport’s cat.
In JESUS’ name we pray. Amen.
in my prayers
Praying.
I’m sorry, she is dying. Cats cannot go long without water or food. Their internal organs malfunction quickly. I just kept one of my babies, only 5 alive 3night convincing myself that force hydrating and turkey baby food was working. It wasn’t , by the end of the third day he could not stand on his own. I know the pain, j lost him and another within 14 days. But it tortures the animal and helps nothing. For the sake of your loved one stay with her and let her go to God.
I don’t agree with you. I’ve had to force feed several of my elder cats and they recovered nicely. Each had different, serious ailments but they got through it in large part due to my feeding them.
How is your kitty doing?
And how are you holding up?
All through the night I thought about everyone posting here on this thread. I grieved at all the pet losses, with mine still being so new in my heart, it is just so sorrowful.
PRAYERS but prepare for the end. We had our 16 year old cat who we raised as a kitten put down a few months ago. It was extremely hard and even though she was still eating some and managing to use the litterbox, her arthritis had gotten really bad, plus she had a heart murmur. Slept almost 24/7. We loved her dearly, our Sadie. It’s hard.
I managed to get some sleep and so did my cat. I had to lay on the floor with her though, and coerce her to lie down. Once I did she passed out. But we slept for a few hours (but I found that my legs and hips had aged thirty years when I got up). She is now sleeping comfortably on the bed.
She seems more alert but I just can’t get her to eat or drink and I’ve tried many of the suggestions on here that I could find in the pantry. She tries but it is as if there is a bad taste in her mouth. I will have to do the forced feeding again later after the medicine and consult the vet again on Monday.
But I have hope, much more than I did when I started this thread. Thanks to FReepers.
That is beautiful painting. I believe it is true in many ways.
That is such a beautiful & peaceful image. I am so sorry about your baby too. When they go they take a piece of our heart.
How is your baby girl doing?
I’m sorry your kitty is sick. Fellow cat lover here. I have two, a female Zuzu (named after Zuzu in It’s a Wonderful Life)and a male Kazi, which in African means “to work.” I’m kind of stuck on the “Z” theme. I love my babies so much and they bring me a lot of joy. When I’m on the computer, they are there in that room with me. When I’m watching tv, same thing. And when I go to bed to read, they are there. Wonderful, sweet animals. Will pray for you and your precious kitty.
Thank you. Like you said, they bring so much joy, but when they get seriously ill it is terrible. But we do our best.
I like that you picked such unique names for your cats!
So glad her demeanor is returning, hopefully her appetite will follow. You are a wonderful animal dad, many prayers to both of you.
