Nobody is out to scare you. They are posting the truth as best as they can, based upon what you have told them.

Cassie,

Trust me when I say that I hope as well as many others that you have been mistaken at what you are seeing going on with CJ. No one is trying to scare you. No one is posting in UPPER CAPS OMG GET THIS CAT TO THE VET! You came here and asked us for help. No one twisted your arm to do so. Gaye, Sandie, Pat, Cindy all valued members and breeders have given you their advice based on what you have been posting. It is all we have to go on. No one is beating you up- a lot of times we post at the same time, saying the same thing without realizing it, so you think you are getting beat up which is not the intent.

I have said this in the past, and I will say it again. Just because a vet has his credentials hanging on the wall, does not mean he is a good vet. And yes, usually cats can give birth easily- unless they have been severely injured, but CJ is young, she is inbred and right there you have a formula for a warning to be safe about this. You have no idea of these two cats and how far back the line has already been inbred. That is why the warnings. Again, I hope all of us are just wrong in this. But if I were the kid, I would be insisting this cat go to a vet.

Cassie, darlin', you cared enough the other night to pm me because you saw in my profile that I was a retired breeder and wanted my input. I know you love CJ, if not, you wouldn't have asked for our help. I cannot add anything to what hissy said, except for one thing......the advice that I gave you, and I think I can speak for Pat, Sandie and Gaye to (if not, they can flog me with something) when I tell you that the advice that we have passed on to you is the same advice that we would give each other, and even ourselves in the same situation. As for vets, hissy is right, as a matter of fact, I personally lost an already sold kitten due to an incompetent vet a couple of years ago, so I know they're out there too. {{HUGS}} to you hon, and I really do hope that all goes well with you and CJ, am praying for it, for that matter.

Yes, I know. I did PM you. And I so very much appreciated your help. And I called the vet, I did all you said, and I thank-you very much. But after I said there was nothing more I could do, I was still told that CJ and her kittens might die if I didn't do more. That is what upset me, not the fact that you told me to begin with, but that I tried and tried, and I was accused of ignoring the advice I asked for, I was told not to trust the vet, because she might be wrong, but, all the vets might be wrong, and I was told that if I didn't get CJ to a vet, she would probably, along with her kittens, die. Like I said, I appreciated the advice, but, I think it went a step too far when people kept telling me and telling me and telling me that if I didn't get her to a vet, she could die, when I had already called the vet, and there was no way I could get her there, because my mom thinks I'm over reacting, and doesn't think CJ needs veterinary attention. That's what I'm upset about. I'm sorry if I sounded harsh, but all this really hurt me, and frightened me a lot, and made me feel real insecure, and a horrible daughter, because I had to say over and over again, and explain over and over again, that my mom didn't feel CJ needed to go to a vet, which someone probably saw her as a bad pet owner, which she is not. I am not, however, going to apologize for defending myself.
I was told, by un-named, that the advice given here are for adults, and are not taken into consideration for anyone 18 and under, and that people aren't going to change their advice for any minor. I don't really think that's right. I know that most people on here are indeed adults. But teens can be cat lovers too. And teens can need advice too.
This all was overwhelming, and I really didn't need to be scared out of my mind.

Just a thought, Cassie, but has mom read this thread from start to finish?

You know I find most of the time here, when people ask advise they are asking *here* cause they *don't want* to take the cat to the vet and are trying to avoid that, that's why they are online asking. So they might get upset. And yet most of the time going to a vet is what is needed. I'm not saying people are being bad pet owners, I'm just guessing by human nature. But you know if you said "my child has a discharge, what should I do?" most people would say "get her to a doctor" that is what happened here.
