Prayer Request For Ill Cat
20 April 2011 | edpc

Posted on 04/20/2011 7:10:40 AM PDT by edpc

Working with a rescue organization brings a lot of joy and occasional heartbreak. Please pray for my cat Wilby. He is a very special guy. A little less than a year ago, a retired nun found his mother under her porch with a new litter. At first, it seemed like none of the kittens had survived. Wilby was still in his birth sac and was about to be buried when he began to move. He was sent to our organization with his mother where he was eventally weaned and fostered.

Last evening, he became very ill. It is not known at this time what the cause is, but it seems to be neurolgical in nature. He's cheated death once and I ask for your prayers to give him some more time with us. Thank you.

When he was brought in, he immediately recognized me, and walked over to me, though it was on unsteady legs

Heart grabbing. More prayers sent for Wilby for a full recovery. Thanks for the update.

You got it! BTW, I need some prayers too, one of my cats, G.W., has a bad tooth but we are going to get him to the vets when it gets closer to payday. He eats some, but he did lose a little weight since cats with a bad tooth cuts back on heir eating. I’ve seen this before sine a bad tooth make their eating and drinking look clumsy and they chew to one side at times.

Just said a prayer for your little furry one. I lost my beloved on 12/16/10 and I know the heartbreak one goes through when they are sick.

I've been there many times, it is no fun. Plus when they are sick, you are so concerned that at times, it is tough to remain focused. I also have a friend who has a sick pet duck and he is going through the same worries as we do with our little ones.

So glad to hear this—will keep him on my prayer list for awhile until he’s 100%!

Glad to see he is doing better although I did post my prayers since I do not scroll down before I post. BTW, my G.W. shows interest in eating and I do get him to eat but his bad tooth/teeth get in the way.

That is so true about the remaining focus thing. After she died it took me about 1-2 months to grieve voluntarily.

She’s right here sitting in front of my computer, as she always did....”you’re not made out of glass, I can’t see through you” was my famous line.

The first 2 weeks after, I taped her ashes up in the corner of my computer to “get in my way”. I had a hard time letting go, lol.

I’m thrilled for you & Wilby!

He’s such a pretty cat.

I have cats and I’d be interested to hear the vet’s ideas on how he thinks Wilby got encephalitis.

Hope you’re all better soon, Wilby!
