    Stuffed animal (stuffie) based on pictures of passed kitty?

    I recently heard (on imgur) about a pet owner who had a very accurate replica of their passed away kitty done. They said it was from an independent artist, but they haven't responded with the information. Any recommendations for someone who would do this? I miss hugging this big guy and it...

    I don't understand what happened, CKD cat, is it my fault?

    I'm so sorry to hear about your health and I hope the dialysis goes well, as well as a better solution for you in future. Sending hugs ---> <3 Thank you for your words about SPCA. I think they humanize the animals too much instead of viewing these issues as signals of a medical condition. After...

    I don't understand what happened, CKD cat, is it my fault?

    I'm so sorry to hear your experience was similar with dear Albert. I keep researching all of Buddy's symptoms and trying to figure out exactly when things went wrong. Just now, as I'm trying to focus on work, I was reminded of his sad little whistle sound he made when he breathed the night...

    I don't understand what happened, CKD cat, is it my fault?

    Something in my body knew it was time when he was scared of my shadow. He was scared of what was happening and in true Buddy fashion, was trying to fight through it. He fought through nausea and the pain every day but this was too much for even him. I did not want to put the pressure on him to...

    I don't understand what happened, CKD cat, is it my fault?

    Thank you for your words, they've really helped me. At the end we played his favourite song and he slow-blinked with recognition, even through the seizure and pain. His eyes were wide with fear and pain and only relaxed with our hands and the song. Second Hand News. I only played it for the...

    I don't understand what happened, CKD cat, is it my fault?

    I really appreciate you sharing your experiences with CKD and I think it was not too different for him. I experienced a kidney failure (luckily temporarily) due to an undiagnosed congenital abnormality that caused me to lose one of my kidneys. Lucky for me the other one is fine. But, I...

    I don't understand what happened, CKD cat, is it my fault?

    Hi name was Buddy, or Buddy Boy if we were being formal. Thank you for your words, it means so much. We were juggling so many treatments and trying to find the source of his issue, but we didn't have enough of his history to fill in the puzzle. He deserved so much better but we gave him...

    My Blue Eyed Boy

    Kidney disease is so unpredictable; you took the advice from your vet. You shouldn't be expected to know how the disease would progress and no one can predict the future. My boy died from a stroke or seizure which was sudden after a long fight with CKD. Wish we could have prevented it but then...

    I feel awful

    I'm so sorry this happened. Our kitty was 10 and he hated being taken into the back at the vets. The good vets always let us stay with him. You did such a kindness for him as his human, to take on that pain of making the decision for him to not experience any more pain. Our kitty was put to...

    I don't understand what happened, CKD cat, is it my fault?

    Apologies in advance, I'm crushed over how our kitty died and I don't know what I did wrong so this is a bit rambling. I was taking care of my rescue kitty for only 3 months and he was diagnosed with acute on CKD. Did everything to help him, subQ, kidney food, IV treatment, a feeding tube...
