I took Cali to see the vet and after getting her nails clipped and making a bit of a fight, had to laugh cuz she's so calm and docile. I asked for blood work and his opinion. He feels it's Thyroid or worse or a combination of things why her hair isn't growing back. I'll find out tomorrow I just hope it's not bad news, 2x in a week will too much to handle. My sweet bunny boy Sophie has Renal failure, I'm a mess. I started with Critical Care, Propulsid, and Sub-q fluids I have to pick up tomorrow at the vet. What a week I'm having, OH I also need a root canal. I just can't.....

I got the Dr's message on Cali's blood work results. He said he thought it was her Thyroid but it's her kidney's, she's in kidney failure. It's hard to hear it a 2nd time this week having my bunny and Cali both seriously ill. I left a message with my mom and see what the game plan is for her. I'm just so upset.

 I'm so sorry.  You really had a  hard week.

Some cats with kidney disease do bounce back quite well once treatment is started and may have some good time left.

We had to put Cali down today, she was starting to suffer and it was only going to get worse. I will miss this sweetie with the little pushed in nose and her waiting to find a spot in our lap. You are always in my heart Cali.

The bald spots on her nose looks almost exactly like what Patricia has, except Pattycakes has it around her eyes too. When I asked the vet he said that is age-related and other cats lose fur there. So when I saw the bald spots on your kitty's nose, my first thought was "old cat.."

I'm sorry you lost Cali. She is lucky for you to have found her so she could live the last of her years well loved.

Oh lord, I was so very sorry to hear about your beautiful sweet Cali- girl. Having lost three of my kitties this past fall, I can well imagine how you (and your parents) must be feeling right now. You are a wonderful person for bringing her into your home and heart, and not leaving her to roam the streets, poor baby. I have such a hard time imagining why people just dump cats!! It makes me so angry. But you took her in and loved and cared for her for a good many years that she likely wouldn't have had without you. I know she must have loved you very much, and you obviously loved her, so I'm quite certain she'll be waiting for you at the rainbow bridge. I believe that cats are very special and magical beings, and once we have shared their love, given and received, that it's a love that lasts forever. She will always be with you. Sometimes they even come back for visits with their " special people". Read some of the entries in "Visitations" here on the site for some warm and comforting stories. Perhaps they will help in your grief. Bless you for your warm and loving heart....
