Well I don't visit this site much......the first time was in 05......and then almost a year later when my cat lost a struggle with lung issues.

After Jazz passed away, I swore I'd never get another animal. I didn't ever want to be in a position where I had to make such a difficult decision again.
For about a year I've been fostering cats. I found a vet that takes in cats and finds them homes. He is across the street from animal control, and very often saves a cats life.
I was watching a little tabby a few months ago, and when it was time to take her back I just had to keep her. I just made it official a few weeks ago.
Well in unrelated news, my parents have been out of the country. I went to feed their cats today and one of them wasn't being herself. I called their vet and they had me bring her in....turns out she is really sick. She had a lot of fluid in her so she couldn't breathe very well. They drained about 100ccs.....most of it blood. She is doing a little better, but very marginal. I'm sitting at my parents house waiting for their flight to get in....they'll probably have to say goodbye to their/my cat of 17 years tomorrow.
I know you are all very close to your cats here. If you could just keep Puffball in your thoughts tonight.....would be much appreciated.
