My heart is breaking as I am facing “that” decision to put mama cat to sleep.I am going to the Brevard Humane Society in Cocoa,FL.
They charge $30 to euthanize her,$50 if I want to watch.
I would love to have her cremated,but I do not have $175.
No negativity,please.I feel sick.-
Dianne, you have agonized over this for months, and George has been so up and down, that no one here would ever fault you (or anyone) for making this selfless gesture for her sake. I am terribly sorry and know how very deeply this hurts you. But poor little George will finally find relief and release, and that’s who we have to think of. I am sending you my heartfelt sympathy. Please check in with us over the next days, weeks and months, and let us be a support for you. Toni

So I pretty much have figured out why mama cat has diarrhea.Before I moved,she was having the same issues.Her doctor said she has IBS.Which is treatable.So I am not going to end her life.I am going on Waggle to see if they can help me pay for necessary treatment for her IBS.I too have IBS and have the same issue as she has.
-
Wonderful to hear. Be sure you mention Faithful Friends, and try to contact Crystal. She commented to your posts here. Do let us know what happens, Dianne. My cat has something like IBS (her is a progressive inflammatory disease) for which she takes antibiotics and steroids. I am hopeful for you both 🙂

Oh, did I tell you my girl has lost her hearing? She’s doing well, but I have to be more careful with her.

Well my Mama George is still the same,but no improvement.She looks really lost and is starting to forget basic things like how to eat,drink and use her litter box.She is ruining my laminate floors.I now catch mama attempting to go to the bathroom wherever,and she cannot continue this.I may end up putting her to sleep.What she is showing are signs of feline dementia.
And no,I cannot afford to continually take her to the vet as I live off of monthly SS8.Plus I cannot drive anymore, so finding a ride can be difficult.
I have mixed emotions on what to do these days.-
Dianne, you are in a very tough, sad spot. We always want to do what’s best for our beloved pets and it’s often hard to know what that is. Fiscal and physical constraints add a lot of challenge to that. Only you and George will decide, but may I again suggest you respond to Crystal at http://www.Waggle.org and see how, and if, they can help you? And Pet Loss at Home can have a vet come to you if it’s time to let George peacefully pass. https://petlossathome.com/
I know I am not alone in being concerned for you both, and wishing you the best in a sad situation. Let us know….

My mama cat’s name is actually George.I did not name her.-
Well, for all our sadness about her, “George” made me laugh…. great name! Remember “A Boy Named Sue”? Hope she’s okay today.

Toni,my mama cat stares into space a lot,like she has no idea of where she is at, or anymore, who I am.Her pottying in odd places is concerning because I always have a clean litter box for her.Like last night,I was in my room and looked up and she was going to pee on my bedroom floor…BUT ..I caught her in the right time and put her in the litter box.She is not the same anymore.I am worried.She sits in weird places that are open,and its like she forgot where she is going.And she startles more and that is new for me.She used to be very loveable,but anymore,when I pick her up,she acts like I am a stranger.
When it comes to eating,she looks at her food,not sure of what to do,but she does eventually does eat.My heart is breaking because she used to come to me to be petted,and would kiss me,but no more.-
I know, Honey. It IS heartbreaking. You’ll do what’s best for HER. We’re here for you as you move through these times. By the way, what is her name? Is it Mama Cat?

Hello.Well..my mama cat is eating,and now threw up everything she ate last night.
I am seriously beginning to wonder if she is coming down with feline dementia,because she has a clean litter box,but is an inch away from the box,but doesn’t use it.She looks at me as if she has no idea as to who I am anymore.-
Yep, Dianne, I share your situation with my girl – she’s going potty in odd places and staring into space. She also has hearing loss – I walk right up to her and she doesn’t hear me coming. She seems to feel good, but with her other medical problems, it’s clear she’s “showing her age” (17 1/2). I hope for ALL our sakes they just fall asleep and don’t awaken, but that’s me not wanting to have to make the decision to let her go if she begins to suffer.. You should take your girl to the vet – did you apply to Waggle.org? I think they will help pay the vet if you get in touch with Crystal. I am really sorry – I know it’s heartbreaking every day to watch her age. Let us know how it’s going. Hugs…..

What daddy\’s do when bored? They paint their daughter\’s nails lol-
Oh gee, Chuck – I was looking through costumes and saw the pet nail polish and thought “Who would do that?”….:-)…Now we know! I’ll see about adding that to our Shop. I think the red is purrrrfect for Dixie – it sets off her beautiful fur, and is seasonally appropriate. Nicely done. She’s too cute. Thanks for sharing, and please send pictures any time.
-
Hi Chuck and Dixie. 🙂 What are you two up to now?
-
Hi Dixie and Chuck :-). What color are your nails for the holiday season? It’s been awhile since we saw pictures and heard updates from you, and would love to know what you two are up to. And Chuck, I know this is your first year without Dexter and am here for you if you want to share some memories. Toni

She is eating better than she has been wanting to.She is not having diarrhea,but it is soft and better than before.I am going to keep her and not put her to sleep.I am going to have her vet check her for worms.Yes she is my 13 year old love,and she may be thin,but I am going to figure out what is going on.However if the vet states she is sick and her quality of life is declining,then I will do what is best for her.She is 85% better,and I am so happy.-
This is FABULOUS, Dianne. You know, three times this past year I was sure it was time to say goodbye to my 17 year old, but with medicines, diet and “catupuncture”, she is doing very well and ‘feline’ fine :-). Apply to Waggle.org for help with your Vet bills. The acupuncture has stimulated blood flow to my girl’s kidneys that were failing and now the are normal – not just better – normal! I’m a believer…. I am, we are all, so very delighted for you both. Light a candle in celebration!! And keep us posted…. Great news !!!!

Dixie is now 6 months old and weights in at 16.4 lbs. She has the coolest personality. Still missing Dexter every day but she\’s definitely filling up my heart in her special way-
Chuck, HI! How is little Dixie? How are you? Will she be dressing up for Halloween? We have costumes available on our site now :-). I figure her for a pirate…. Anyway, I think of you and Dixie and look forward to hearing more about your lives together, and to seeing more pictures 🙂

Hi Toni! Dixie is doing great. She got fixed 2 weeks ago and handled it very well. She’s still a little shit and loves to tear stuff up lol She does have a bratty attitude and fits in well.-
It’s so good to hear from you and Dixie, Chuck. And I am glad you are finding happiness in your memories of Dexter, and joy with Dixie. Well, she doesn’t look like a brat – she looks like a proper young lady in her dress and fancy bow on her collar :-). But then, looks can be deceiving…. Wow, she’s bigger than I pictured, and very pretty. Keep us in the loop, and have fun!
