OK, I made a pledge the other day and today I fulfilled it. I now own two soft-sided cat carriers with handles and a shoulder strap, one for each cat, just in case of a catastrophe. I already had one hard sided carrier and hadn't gotten a second since I got Angelina and to be honest wouldn't be likely to take them to the vet together,but in case of flood, fire, earthquake or other evacuation, I want to be able to take them at the same time. Next.. I need to get copies of shot records tucked into each case. I need to get Angelina microchipped. And I need to find out what shots would be required so they could be temporarily sheltered if necessary. I just heard about such a requirement today and need to get more info about what is mandatory. (ex. They haven't had rabies shots, being inside cats, but that might be required).

sea, i, too, decided about a week ago i'm going to order one from petco. my cat has a hard-sided one too but she is scared of it (remembering her trips to vet in it). so, since i want to take her in for a check-up soon (and also worried about getting her in the carrier during a catastrophe); i figured i would buy her a new one. i'm going to put it at the head of the bed and drape a blanket over it. i'm hoping eventually she'll use it to sleep in. also hoping she feels safe enough to run in it when she is scared (instead of hiding). ------------------------------ all the cats are precious. thanks for sharing photos.

spooky agrees with emma wendy is more partial to driving me insane by chasing a fly around the house. took her a few days but I think she finally caught it (since the fly has disapeared) I (and the cats) love the soft-sided carriers. Need to get a second (or possible two more) because if I ever have to take all three somewhere at same time it's gonna be an issue since casper takes up one all by himself. I leave the soft sided carrier out. On occasion I find Wendy asleep in it. I refer to it as her hut.

It's time for me to say good bye to my 17-year-old kitty. She hasn't eaten or had much to drink for a few days now. The vet gave her some fluids, but they haven't really helped. Her kidneys are shutting down, and there's just nothing we can do about that. When I take her back to the vet tomorrow, I'll have to let her go. As much as I know I need to end her suffering, it still breaks my heart to know I'll never see her sleep in the sunshine again.
So if y'all could keep Spats in your hearts tomorrow afternoon, I'd appreciate it.

Such a lovely photo, Prisoner... Will keep you, Spats too, in my thoughts. It isn't easy, but you will have done the very best that you could for her.

Spats I'm so sorry, Prisonerno6. You'll both be in my heart and thoughts. I like OG's words "Spats in Eternal Sunshine". That's where she'll be.

{{{Prisoner and Spats}}} Right this minute enjoying 15 year old Critter draped on my leg, licking my left hand, my arm around her, hearing her purr. We don't get to do this so often with Anglina in the house.. Critter cannot usually relax.. Angelina is still in her room now. Angelina and Critter could not share a carrier, they'd both have loud, hissing and growling strokes.

That is so sad about Spats. Just remember that you gave her a good life with lots of love and it is your responsibility to love her so much that you are able to help her pain now. I'm writing this with tears running down my face. I know how this is such a sad time for you.

Thanks, everyone. Spats took her final trip to the vet this morning. She was a good kitty all the way to the very end. The house seems a little empty with just her memory left here.
