Good vibes for Samantha please

I used to think I was nuts too but it's just how much we care I wasn't very worried about Chickster for some reason, but am always terribly concerned over my Boo. Glad she is ok

When I had Attitude done I hadn't seen Mama in a day and the last time I had seen her she had her intestines hanging out her rear(couldn't catch her) so I thought she was dead and I was worried about Attitude.

I got back home from dropping Attitude off for her spay to find Mama eating but she got away before I could grab her. I finally got Mama the day after I had Attitude spayed(and Attitude came through the spay with flying colors) and called every rescue known to man that takes FeLV positive cats and no one had room(and this was in Dec near Christmas so way past kitten season.) One told me about a low cost vet clinic in St. Louis which was about an hours drive from me. I packed up a growling Mama(she is mostly feral and hates carriers) and off we went. I almost dropped her off at the humane society to end her suffering since I thought it was hopeless and they were going to put her down. The only thing that really made me decide to go on(other than the fact that I was already on the highway leading there) was that she had survived this way for four days and she was that much of a fighter I wasn't going to give up on her easily. Turns out she had a rectal prolapse, they put her intestines back where they were supposed to be via the way they came out and after a week in the hospital she came back home. No one wanted to give her back because she was so sweet and loving(after I warned them she was feral and I couldn't promise she wasn't going to be very mean. They prolly thought I was crazy, but they did hear her growling from the carrier, which I had covered with a towel, when I brought her in.) She still had her survivor instinct I caught her while she was eating and they were shocked when they sedated her and she threw up a large amount of food(I felt so bad for her), they couldn't figure out how a cat that bad off could continue to eat. She was acting like everything was perfectly normal, if her intestines hadn't been hanging out you would have never thought anything was wrong with her, she acted perfectly healthy. Proof that cats are very very good at hiding illness. Mama had her intestines hanging out and never acted sick at all, I think I would have been dead if I had been that way for 4 days(how long it took for me to catch her.)

I was really worried about Attitude for some reason, I didn't worry about Mama, Biter or Goldie with their spays, but worried about Attitude. I don't think I would have been so worried about Attitude if I wasn't worried Mama was dead or going to die after she got away again.

I understand the feeling, especially when everything has seemed to be going wrong with the cats and I'm glad she came through a-ok.
