    It was very caring of you to get help for Lorenzo, Marlena. That is so hard and never what we want to do, but for his sake, you did a loving thing. I am so sorry about Felix and just don’t understand why anyone would deliberately hurt an animal. We’ve had several people in our community with poisoned pets and it simply makes me angry and very sad. Our Library has helpful articles about household poisons like anti-freeze. There is a wonderful organization that tries to provide payment for veterinary care – Waggle.org. You can listen to our Paw’d Cast interview with their founder by clicking the microphone icon on the right side of this page, and find a link to them in the “Giving Back” section at the bottom of our page. Please let us know how you are doing. We’re thinking of you.

      @marlena Hello Marlena, and welcome. Please tell us about Felix and Lorenzo, and if you like, share some pictures. Are you doing okay, Marlena?

      • I’m ok Lorenzo is an old cat of mind I ended up having to surrender over to the APL in Ohio because it was around lockdown out hear Lorenzo got really sick wouldn’t eat wouldn’t drink I was out of a job at the time and was tight on money well long story short I gave him over to the APL to save his life they did a vet saw Lorenzo and he got the care he needed and lives with a new family but he’s alive and well but me giving him away killed me inside. Felix was another cat of mine very close to Lorenzo like brothers they went everywhere together. Well Felix passed away he was poisened to death I didn’t know what was going on with him at the time he won’t eat drink play or do anything just lay around and stair off into space well I did make a vet appointment he died on my bed two hours before his vet apmmtment.

          No, Jill, you know your tears come from a place deep within and it’s not a choice – it’s strong emotion. Dramatic? Yeah, okay, it is, but it’s not made up. it’s real. Real drama stems from deep emotion. So go ahead and move through your feelings. We get it – we’re here for you, Jill.
            • Thank you. I don’t care who says that pets are not family I know they are. I wasn’t ready to get another kitten but I was thinking of Babydoll Gizmos sister. I didn’t want her to go and be lost and hide somewhere and die. So we found Bella. Lil stinker in more ways than one.

              @karen10 Hi Karen, and welcome to our caring community. Please tell us about your pets.

              I’ve just written this little poem. It may be stupid, but we get to be stupid, sad, happy, whatever – here in our community.

              Here it is:

              How empty the home, the heart, and the hearth
              When our beloved padded feet wander away…..

            • Toni Noel posted a new activity comment 5 years, 6 months ago

              Oh Nellie, I am so sorry and of course you miss Tiger dearly – you were together through so many things and were always there for each other. There is no replacement for that kind of love and support, but with time, in time, perhaps you will open your heart and home to another love. Please share more about Tiger and your lives together, and know we are here for you.

                Patricia, it’s interesting that Artimus changed his sleeping habit but I have heard of that. It could be the temperature, or any number of things to change it. I have a friend whose cat always slept on her feet, but when they got their third cat, she started sleeping elsewhere on the bed. Hmmmm….
                • Toni Noel posted a new activity comment 5 years, 6 months ago

                  Rebecca, you and Daisy were lucky to have many loving years together, and it is just heartbreaking to say goodbye. I am very sorry for your loss. I have tried to figure out what Daisy’s costume is and am sorry but … what is the hat? Her eyes are very expressive and full of intelligence and kindness. I wish we could both pet her again…. Here is my HUG for you…Please Rebecca, let us know how you are.

                    What a sweet girl, Teresa. When we’ve been together so long, through so many life events together, the loss of their company and love IS so very hard. Her face is kind, and she sort of looks like a lion in this picture ! May we see some more photos, please? I am truly saddened and sorry for your parting. And happy for the many years you enjoyed together. Stay with us and let us know how you are doing, Teresa.

                            @brweys1 Teresa, I am sorry about your loss of Abbie and hope you are doing alright? Would you tell us about Abbie please?

                            • Abbie was a Lab/ Dobbie mix. I got her when she was 4 months old and had a wonderful 15 1/2 years with her. She was and still is my baby. I could not have been more blessed to have that time with her. My heart is 💔 and I miss her so much. Thank you for asking about her and thank you for your condolences. It’s hard, but I’m trying.

                              Whoa! How too totally cool are you, Patricia? I absolutely adore seeing the pictures and again, thank you for sharing them. You have some lofty cat names and I really like them. Did Artimus stop sleeping on your back after he was fixed? If not, where did he sleep? Do you think the procedure changed his habit? I’m surprised by this because I would think “fixing” a cat would make them even more cuddly.??? Hmmm…Patricia, I hope you keep us updated with pictures of you kitties and share your thoughts with us. Glad to have you with us ๐Ÿ™‚
                                • Unfortunately he did stop sleeping on my back (he would still do it, but not as much). He would sleep right next to me. I think that it did.

                                  @countrygirl2019 Hello Rebecca and welcome to our caring community. Clearly, you are a caring animal lover, too. I am sorry for your losses of Trixy, Cricket, Daisy and Buddy, and am so happy for the love and lives you shared. If you would like to share some stories about each of them, and send some pictures, we would love that. Let us know how you are doing, Rebecca.

                                  Hi Shelly. Is this Taurus Li? What a good looking doggie. Please tell us about Taurus Li – the name is so interesting. Welcome to our community, Shelly. Thank you for being a part of us. Your kind, caring words to others are very welcome, and supportive.

                                    Patricia, What gorgeous cats Artimus and Cleopatra were. Their names befit them – so regal. When I see these pictures of our beloved pets, I feel as if I know a little piece of them. So, thank you for sharing them with us. Will you tell us about them – their personalities, how you met…just anything that you like. And Patricia, how are you doing? Do you have pets now?
                                      • Before I got Artimus fixed he used to sleep on my back at night. He was a real snuggler and lap cat. Cleopatra was a little miss prissy. Artimus was born and raised in my old house. Cleopatra was given to me by my momโ€™s bossโ€™ old housekeeper.

                                        I currently have 3 male kitties. From youngest to oldest: Tuxedo Patronus (2, Black & White), Frisky (4, Light Orange Tabby), and Tiger (12, Dark Brown Tabby).

                                          • Whoa! How too totally cool are you, Patricia? I absolutely adore seeing the pictures and again, thank you for sharing them.
