As some of you know my civie Pippa has cancer. She has really gone downhill a lot the past week or so. :evil: It is starting to look like time to say goodbye but it's kind of day to day so who knows. Already she has done better than I thought she would for several months, so I try not to jump to conclusions with her. She is still enjoying baby food and looks moderately comfortable when she is curled up, but then she is also having this really pathetic meow the past couple days and her eyes are starting to look wrong, so it is hard to judge if she is feeling better than she looks and sounds, feeling worse than she acts, or who knows, so I keep just taking it day by day. We will probably go to the vets sometime in the next few days, if not to say goodbye, to get the vet's assessment and see what else we might be able to do to help her be comfortable.

Less importantly, my internet isn't working well, could barely get here at all tonight, so I doubt I will be able to keep up with reading and posting for the moment. If I can I will!

Hope everyone is doing ok!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Joanna I could have written the same post...but about Tom.
You sound so calm, so in control. I am lost and bewildered.
I don't know either how to tell how bad off tom really is.
I have 5 shots of bupe here...but don't know when to use them.
I'm so sorry we find ourselves together in this nightmare.
Lori ((((((Joanna))))))
 
Oh Lori I am so sorry!!!! I haven't checked in lately, but I had hoped Tomtom was doing better. :cry:

Don't worry I am not calm at all, just trying not to think about it, I have become a master of keeping myself distracted!!! I just can't tell how bad things are, I don't want to make the dreaded decision, and I want everything to be cookies & cream & puffy clouds & sunshine!!!! I feel best when she is curled up sleeping, she looks relaxed, so I can pretend everything is ok then - at least it seems to be for the moment when she is curled up.

It really bites, so sorry you are in the same boat. Scritches to Tomtom!

Pippa is having seconds on the baby food, so that makes it a good evening! :-D At least my internet seems to be working better now, so that's good.

Peace & light to us all!
 
yes joanna, i know EXACTLY what you mean on so much of what you just wrote.
i feel best when tom is sleeping. he seems ok when he is sleeping.
and if he deigns to eat something and THEN sleep....ooooh, i am so relieved i could just pretend it is all fixed.
pink puffy clouds, sunshine and cookies and ICE cream. i too pretend. i want it to all just go away, a miracle, some magic.
and at work, distraction makes it not exist. the rock in my heart sstops hurting.

tell me when, if, how, you know the pain is there.
the discomfort is too much.

i just can't see the forest...cause all the trees are soooo big.

Joanna-- keeping you and Pippa in my thoughts and prayers.

Lori, I have kept up with Tom through your post--I am sorry about his declining health.

Wishing both Joanna and Lori, peace and comfort during a difficult time.
 
Joanna and Lori, you are both in our thoughts and prayers here. Sending you and your kitties love and light.
(((((hugs))))) to you all... cat_pet_icon
 
I am so sorry, Joanna. I know how hard it is. Keeping you and Pippa in my prayers too. And Lori, the same goes for Tom.
 
I am in my upstate house, thinking about how hard it was to let go of Squamee ( I miss her more here, because it is a vacation place, so I was with her all the time) i)and then I read this. I am SO sorry, Joanna and Lori. Sending hugs and comfort vibes to both of you. God, how I wish it could be easier.
 
I'm very sorry Joanna and Lori that both of you are going through this.
Sending hugs and healing pink light to both of you in this difficult time.
Its not easy and sometimes we don't know what to do, all you can do is take one day at a time and cherish the good days and quality time you have with them.
 
My heart goes out to you.

It is such a difficult time to go through. Cherish the many years of happy memories and squeeze a few more memories in while you can.

Sending healing and comfort to Pippa and Tom.
 
Thanks you guys....I never in a million years thought we would be here, in this situation, so soon.
Everything was going SO WELL.
Love on your kitties.
It's true, It can come out of the blue.
It is soooo hard to face that Tom the Incredible Cat In Every Way has me knowing our days are numbered, getting weaker each day....and all my efforts to keep him nourished and hydrated are just not enuf.
just not enuf.
I took for granted he was Super Cat.
And now....
I still just cannot believe it.
Keep us in your prayers.

And Joanna I am so sorry for the hyjack.
My thoughts are with you and Pippa.
I think I know all to well.... your heart hurts.

Lori
 
I'm so sorry to hear about your kitties, Joanna and Lori. I can't imagine how hard that must be to go through. Big hugs to you guys.
 
We give so much of ourselves...
Every day in every way
we dedicate our lives to making our babies have a happier life.
Never do we mind giving up a night or two of sleep, sometimes weeks at a time...
We are the pillars of strenght for our best friends, our babies, everything our life has become.
We do so much, sometimes we give unmeasureable amounts..

yet it is us, the moms, that receive the most..
unconditional love....
I dont know if I can say anymore than that
the meows, the head butts, the waking up at 3am cause they cant sleep
but we are the ones receiving all the love..
Love that someone that does not have a sugar cat could not possibly know..

I have lost many in my life...
sometimes my heart weighs so very heavy because of this..
but I have grown so much because of this
I am now able to give so much more of myself unconditionally because all of my babies..
and because all of you...

know that they all have a very special place in our hearts forever..
Know that they DO know how much we have given up for them..
How much we have loved them..
Today and Forever..

Myheart is with all of you always
 
Joanna & Lori, I'm sorry to hear you are both having difficult times with your kitties. Thanks for coming here & helping all of us when you've got so much to deal with on your own! :YMHUG:
