As such, my heart goes out to you. A pet is as much "family" as any person. It's an agony to go through the situation you're in right now.<br /><br />Know that there are many people who read your blog and download your shares and care about you as "friends" if only through cyberspace.

Tests by the vet found nothing. He followed the same pattern as yours until he could no longer jump on my knee. The time had come to put him to rest. He lies at the top of the garden with six others. There are now four in the house including two ginger toms, one of which adopted us. Be glad you had him for ten years.Bandman UKnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11600065.post-40352795619525006292011-01-29T06:00:36.725-05:002011-01-29T06:00:36.725-05:00What a great looking cat!

It amazes us when we discover how close we have gotten to them and they to us. <br /><br />I had to put a Simease down a few years back that I was really close to, and he too had started out as a stray, but became one of my closest friends after my wife divorced me.<br /><br />You are both in our thoughts and prayers. . .<br /><br />Kindest Regards,<br />Wesley H.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11600065.post-12749366149419984182011-01-28T13:37:55.689-05:002011-01-28T13:37:55.689-05:00Her name is Baby, but I don't think I ever cal...Her name is Baby, but I don't think I ever call her that. Lumpy is probably her most popular nickname, but she gets called everything under the book. Not like she would answer to anything...<br /><br />The vet called today and said the additional blood tests didn't show anything wrong. It's most likely that she's just gotten to the point where she's too old to go on, or there's something too wrong to fix. I'll take care of her as best I can until I feel her quality of life is too poor to go on. It might be days, weeks or months from now. Or she could perk up tomorrow and start eating again. Anything's possible.Erniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02589056878160272070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11600065.post-60820745896457146892011-01-28T06:36:53.657-05:002011-01-28T06:36:53.657-05:00Sorry to hear this, Ernie.

He was a fighter 'til the end.

Like yours, he had a little spark left until the final days. His last trip outside he finally caught that squirrel that must have been driving him crazy for all those years. <br /><br />I hope yours perks up and hangs around as long as she can.greghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17779377526586088828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11600065.post-77541279487281803262011-01-28T02:00:02.875-05:002011-01-28T02:00:02.875-05:00sorry to hear about what truly is part of your fam...sorry to hear about what truly is part of your family....my folks got me a cat when i was 5....he was my "pal" for the 21 years he lived (imagine what he witnessed during that tme span) - it was amazing to me then (as it is now), how many "vets" have no idea what is truly "wrong" with a cat.... no matter what - yours will always be part of your life! you are a lucky person (in that she chose you, just as much as you chose her!!!).<br />an avid fan of your blog - gmbAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
