Hi everyone. I am sorry I haven’t been able to communicate with each of you today but I’ve been tending my girl. She’s still blind but hopefully by tomorrow night or the next day, if the blood pressure medicine kicks in, her vision will be restored. She never complains, knows where her litter box is, and seems to be in good spirits. I hope we all enjoy a happier, safer, less terrifying 2021. Be careful, mindful, and always ….kind and loving. Toni

@anniep325 Ann, I am so sorry for your losses of Misty and Leo. Please, tell us about them and share pictures if you will. I’m anticipating my own loss of my elderly cat, and know how hard it is to let them go, but how wonderful to have had them in our lives. Please – let us know how you are doing, and if you can, and want to, reach out to others here with your own words of support. We’re thinking of you.

@lexyanne8 Alexis, I am sorry about Darius. How are you doing now> Will you tell us about him, please? Toni

Good, and surprising, news!
First and foremost, I extend my never ending gratitude to this community of kind, caring, understanding people, and the supportive sentiments shared with me today – a grueling, and as it turns out, informative one.
My cat didn’t have to die today :-). Turns out her elevated thyroid caused extremely high blood pressure, which caused her retinas to detach, rendering her suddenly blind. She’s on medicine for the blood pressure and the doctor said her vision will come back in 24 – 48 hours. Who knew? (People can’t do that (to my knowledge). I liken it to how a starfish can regenerate a lost limb, but people can’t. Animals are so cool… Anyway, the doctor thinks my Beauty Girl has several good months ahead of her as we continue to treat her progressive internal disease, and we are home, she’s tucked into her bed, and I am so relieved, (and exhausted from all the crying). I think it’s helpful and important for us all to share our experiences and things we learn, like this has taught us. Perhaps it will help someone else. Again, and always, Thank You All.
