So she stayed there a few hours while they gave her meds and sheis a bit better and home for the night. We have to go back in the morning as the meds will have worn off and they will be able to tell if it`s poisoning or her heart if she`s better or not.

Right now she is hiding in her favourite hidey-hole so I`m going to go in and sit with her ( Much to Kittys disgust ).

Please say a little prayer for her
I would hate for something to happen tonight.
Oh gosh... I hope Maisie is doing better by now and that its just a minor problem. Lots of get-well-soon for her!

Thank you all so much


Well, it`s 5:30am here and I slept in her room last night ( Not that I got much sleep! ). She stayed on the bed all night and every time I moved she wanted cuddles
So that`s good


She does seem a bit perkier today and she has eaten a little


So, back to the vets at 9. I don`t know if they will do the x-ray and bloods then. It would be good to know what`s going on but I don`t want to put her at risk.

I'm sorry to hear you had a bad night, it's good she seems perkier and eating a bit more, that's a good sign. Continued Prayers and for Mabel and you.

You guys are amazing. Thank you.

Well, we went and the vet spent quite a while listening to her chest and feeling her tummy and she said that her breathing is back to normal and her chest sounds clear today
She said as it sounded clear she didn`t want to put her through an x-ray ( she explained yesterday that if she was sedated she might not wake up again ).

So I have to keep a close eye on her for a few days. She threw up on the way home ( not a good traveller! ) and she is still not herself. She`s crouching a lot and hasn`t eaten since this morning (which she threw up ) but she doesn`t look so depressed.

Her weight has gone down a bit too so I`m off to get her some chicken and hope she keeps improving. I wasn`t expecting her to be with me so long so every day is a bonus. I think she`s always going to have problems, bless her


And all those vibes and prayers really work!

I hope she continues to improve, try her on some plain boiled chicken see if she can keep that down.

She ate some chicken and went and hid for a bit but came out again later. I swear she`s going to give ME heart failure and no wonder I have no savings left
but she`s worth it


Two non cat people said to me yesterday I should think about having her PTS! She`s not ready yet, thank God
They called me a mug for paying the vets bills for her
Some people just don`t get it.

You are right, some people just don't get it and that is their loss.


I am so glad that you and sweet Maisie have more time together.

And they never will get it. Apparently they never felt the love of a cat. The way they rub their head on yours, listening to them purr. Or the way they can make you laugh when you need it the most. Well thats their loss for not knowing that kind of love. They are living creatures that deserve to be treated when they are not well. And no, she's not ready to be PTS. She could have many years left, where there's life theres always hope.
They are worth going into doubt for, I've done it myself and I'll do it again. Maisie is very lucky to have you.

Continued Prayers and

Do not listen to people that say that. When my Cats died my Ex Mgr said stop crying and grow up. I was at work when a few of them died. I hope your Cat keeps getting better.
