Loungers' Pets

[Fletch]

The one this is hardest on is not the cat. It's my mom (whom I am here visiting), who is giving up on her and is a volatile mess. Kitty just lies around like an old slipper, fed awful glop thru a tube, barely being a cat at all.

 

[LizzieMaine]

Try some Gerber ham baby food -- it might rouse her interest enough to get her eating again all her own. And spend as much time with her as she'll allow.

 

[Fletch]

Thanks. We have baby, kitten and cat foods waiting.

Just in the past hour, she drank a big ole drink of water, then climbed up onto a windowsill. Hasn't done either for at least 2 days. The catness is not all gone.

 

[Feraud]

That's a nice little bit of progress Fletch.

 

[Fletch]

Kitty has no cancer per se, but her white blood cells are taking over her system.
She's survived this 4 years now, much longer than a typical cat that lasts a few months.
We're conferring again Thursday, but I'm thinking it will be nap time.

Fletch, my heart goes out to all of you. Having traveled this rode too many times, I know the sorrow it brings, but in the end, we all have to do what is right for the afflicted one. Much to our dismay!

 

[LizzieMaine]

She'll tell you when she's ready, and there won't be any doubt. Just be sure to listen to what she has to say.

 

[Fletch]

She said it loud and clear just after 10 tonight. We drove her to the vets', some waiting to do which is always hard, but her fight is over. Good old kitty.

 

[AtomicEraTom]

Oh, so sorry, Fletch. I know it isn't easy, but you all are in the thoughts of many of your fellow Loungers. At least she's not suffering anymore.

 

[lolly_loisides]

I'm so sorry Fletch.

 

[SHOWSOMECLASS]

My Koi agree the water is too hot.

 

[Fletch]

It's good they agree. Contentious koi take all the tranquility out of a home.

 

[SHOWSOMECLASS]

It made them Horny a few weeks ago. They spawned a second time this season.

 

[AmateisGal]

Oh, I'm so sorry, Fletch. Hugs.

 

[LizzieMaine]

As long as you remember her, she won't be gone.

 

[Fletch]

You would have liked Kitty. She carried herself with pride and took no crap from any human.

 

[Hepville]

Keep her in your heart and remember the good times with her... Im sorry for your loss Fletch.

 

[DNO]

She said it loud and clear just after 10 tonight. We drove her to the vets', some waiting to do which is always hard, but her fight is over. Good old kitty.

You and your family have my sympathies, Fletch. It's a hard thing. Your kitty was a fine looking feline and I'm sure she thoroughly enjoyed her life with you.

 

[rue]

So sorry to hear about your loss Fletch

 

[scooter]

I'm truly sorry, Fletch.
