The news is even worse. My baby DOES have cardiomyopathy, altho the specialist we took her to thinks it is not related to the hyperthyroidism. Worse still, he said "end-stage cardiomyopathy". I just wailed when I read that! I cannot bear to lose my baby. She is such a happy girl, she loves...

She WILL NOT take her pills, or even the liquid concoction we paid extra for!! Our vet got a second opinion (lots of bloodwork, X-rays, etc) and they agreed, she definitely has hyperthyroidism. Problem is---she's quit eating! I mean totally!! I know this is NOT good for cats--my poor baby...

((((MNgal)))) I am so sorry! This is the only downside there is to being a cat-parent: seeing them suffering, and having to say "good-bye". It is so hard!! I have been in your shoes, and I grieve with you for your sweet Zoe. Yes, you're right, the pain will ease and some day you will be able...

Hi, Nikki, don't want to sound alarmist here, but eye injuries (untreated) can lead to serious complications--which I know you do not want!! I think you need to see an opthalmologist as soon as possible--you will probably need antibiotic drops to make sure your eye heals properly. It sucks that...

((((Sunny's Daddy)))) I am so so sorry! This is so sad--and right before Christmas too! But you know that you and your family did everything possible for this little kitty--his life was way too short but at least it was happy and he knew he was loved--that is so very important!!! Rest in...

Aww, thanks to all of you--I think I might cry, you're all so sweet to wish my baby a happy birthday! And she asks me to tell you all a very heartfelt "thank you" from her too!! Hugs to all of you and your furbabies!!!

Mine is really cute (if I do say so myself!) It's by "Twisted Whiskers" and it shows an orange-and-white tabby (my girl's colors!) wearing a smirk and saying, "Did someone say "MOUSE?" I've used it so much it's starting to fade, but I can't find another one I like this much!!!!

My beautiful girl Amber turns 10 years old today!! I found her at a shelter in Augusta, Georgia, about a week before Christmas, 1996. It was love at first sight. I don't know her exact birth date, but our vet estimated that she was born about the first week of July that year (she was about 5...

Are we late? *blush* Anyway--Happy Belated Birthdays!!!

Aha! You almost had me fooled--I thought at first you were from NEW Jersey (wonder where that name came from??? ) and then I saw you wrote "colorpoint" as "colourpoint" and I thought, hmm, people in New Jersey generally don't write "color" as "colour" so I finally figured it out--C.I. stands...

I can feel the pain in your words, and my heart goes out to you...but please please don't blame yourself! Once cats are used to being outdoors, it is so very difficult to keep them inside. He probably would have been miserable being kept indoors, and you would have felt guilty about depriving...

I just wanted to add my condolences...it's horrible to lose one beloved cat, but to lose so many...I just can't imagine how heartbroken you must be! Your Jules was a beauty (I have a special weakness for orange tabbies! ) and he looked so happy. Please remember that he--and your other...
