I think i killed Willow

*get better vibes for Willow*

Here's a story that may give you hope...

my friend's cat had a litter of kittens in high school. Her dad smooshed the kitten's head in a recliner chair. The kitten was bleeding from mouth and nose.... and had a very swollen head. Guess what... it survived! Although, the poor little thing was never normal after that... didn't have a good reaction time and she just seemed "off" personality-wise.

How is precious Willow? She looks okay.... just make sure she gets Pedialyte if she still has diarrhea.

Sending good vibes....

Lina, how is Willow today????

Come on Willow!!

You are a strong kitty and your Mum and Meowmy are there for you!!

Keep strong little one! There are people all over the world praying that you'll get better soon

I only found this site the day after the night my little ginger kitten was stepped on..which was 2 weeks ago tomorrow.

Shes doing really well now.

Willow is SO cute .. glad to see shes doing okay

Yes, please let us know if there are any changes in Willow today. I just know she'll be alright!!!! If God wanted her back home, he probably would have taken her yesterday...or at least that's what I believe.

She'll pull though. I'll tell you, it is so easy to step on a kitten...they're tiny (usually quiet), and ALWAYS underfoot as you're walking around. I stepped on Steuben's tail the other morning, and he about went through the roof!!!! It is easy to do, and no one should ever take it too much to heart...it's never deliberate, and we always feel awful about it. The kittens have forgiven us LOONNNGGG before we're able to forgive ourselves.

Chin up, she'll do great. Just keep us posted.

I just read this site.....when I saw the title I was too scared to look....I'm so glad to hear willow is still hanging in there....She looks really good in the picture... happy little smile!!Did the xray show exactly what damage was done?? Good thing you didn't put her down or you would always wonder......hang in there!!

So glad to hear that Willow is doing much better! Did the vet check her mouth for injuries? Maybe that's where all the blood came from initially, and why she still won't eat on her own? I'm just so happy to hear how well she's doing! Hugs to Willow, momma cat, and you! You're doing a great job with her!

Hi Lina, Hows Willow today??

How is she Lina??

Willow is doing much better today, shes responding more today. I can stand her up and she will open her eyes and move a bit. Ive gotten her to eat a bit more. But she still wont eat on her own. Taz cleaned her up. so thats good. Im feeling so much better now that shes doing better.

thanks everyone.

Oh I'm sure you are.......we all are, because I think it's happened to all of us at one time or another when we accidentally step on a tail or kick/stumble over one of our kits...........Lord knows we would never hurt them intentionally.........and SO glad your situation is having a positive outcome my friend! Give her a kiss from me tonight!

Thanks for update checked this morning, and just got on site after all day on boat. So happy to hear she is still getting stronger. Willow, Taz and your family in my prayers. Please keep updating.

Aw, this is so good to hear! Come on, Willow, keep fighting!

My kitten that was severly injured grew up to be just fine. There was no sign of damage after she healed. I pray the same is true of Willow, that she grows stronger every day.

Fight Willow Fight. Your doing great sweetie, keep up the good work! Your doing great. Will continue to send Prayers and Get Well, Stronger soon Vibes.

I just saw this thread! I am so glad Willow is doing well. Please, try not to feel too bad about what happened. It wasn't your fault. Willow is now recovering & she has you to care for her. Willow is one lucky kitten.

I just sat and read this whole thread, and am sooo glad Willow is doing better. She is a beautiful kitten, and lucky to have you! I can only imagine what you've been going through, you both will stay in my thoughts!

I found this poem for Willow on the net.......its by someone called 'impishlaugh'. Its an extract from the full poem


You are a willow; so thin, so graceful.
A melancholy elegance kisses your brow.
Your aching beauty leaves a lump in my throat.
Though fragile and pale, you are stronger than any switch.
Assailed by the tempest, tossed in the gale,
Your granite integrity leaves you standing.
My eyes well with love and pain.
You are a willow.

Love the poem, and yes, very appropriate. She sounds like she's coming along nicely...and here this time the other night you were so afraid she'd be gone!!!! Well, she's here, and fighting!
