Oh Mamapors, I'm so sorry about Ivy. But I know how hard it is to watch your pet suffer. You made the right decision.

I dont come here very often, but I must say that I'm very sorry for your loss, Mamapors. Over the years I've had to make this awful decision several times, and I know its very painful. It looks like you did everything you could for your furry friend and you did your best for her---which I'm sure she knows. I'm so sorry.

Mizi...thanks for the cute pic of the cat with the shredded tp. When Oreo was a kitten, I heard all this noise like she was rolling her tongue over and over again. I walked upstairs and she was unrolling the tp. I finally get to take Oreo to weigh her today (one of my kids has been sick since Tuesday so I couldn't get in there). She seems ok to me, her disposition and eyes and litter box are all ok. Costa, how is Rosie, I so hope he is doing better.

My furry grand baby, Anabelle, just had her first birthday! I can't believe how big she has gotten. My DD sent me a video of her playing with the water in the bath tub. She's a different kitty that doesn't mind getting wet all on her own. lol

I always feel so sad when I come here and see others sharing their pain. We all feel sympathy as I think most of us have gone thru the loss of a loved pet. My Whiskers has a 3 degree Heart Murmur. I just talked to the vet the other day since I was going to have an Ultrasound interpretation done instead of just an xray (and blood work). To make a long story short, the vet told me that it was very common for heart murmur cats to have strokes and lose their back end. When and IF this happens to Whiskers I will be now mentally ready...especially after reading about poor Ivy. I think Ivy had a long and wonderful loving life. Her time had come, she will be missed.

Sun, there are drugs Whiskers can take that will help you baby's heart work more efficiently. Costa has been on Diltiazem for years now, and his heart murmur has actually dropped grades. His vet says if she didn't know he had a murmur, she wouldn't know. It's well worth it to check out what your vet thinks. Costa takes 60mg of Diltiazem a day. You should have an annual ultrasound done. They can compare the progression of the heart disease from year to year. Costa has a thickening of the heart wall (that's what causes his murmur), and it is progressing. But it is progressing very slowly. After all, he IS 10 years old, and that's pretty danged good. I'm in Palm Springs now, attending a conference. But yesterday morning, he was truly a nutcase. Running all over the house. Rabbitkicking his catnip banana. Batting balls everywhere. Seriously, if I didn't know he was a sick kitty, I wouldn't know it. I must admit, it has not been cheap to care for my little man. The annual ultrasounds with a cardiologist are very expensive. His drugs cost me about $40 a month. And he his Hills Science Diet prescription cat food. But I *will* say this... Every single penny I have spent on him is well worth it!

Mamapors, I've been away from the board for a few days and didn't know about Ivy. I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I'm sure Ivy is enjoying kitty heaven! I hope you're doing OK. (((((Mamapors))))

{{{{{{{Mamapors}}}}}}} I'm so sorry about Ivy. Having to put down my Jade a few years ago was one of the worst experiences ever. I dread that my dog is getting very old and that day could come sooner than later. I'm happy you had your time with her and that she's no longer suffering. Be good to yourself. You deserve some extra care.

Wow what a beautiful kitty Anabelle is. Sun...sorry to hear about Whiskers' heart murmur. Oreo has had a heart murmur for a long time. It never gets much discussion with the vet, maybe it has a less serious degree. Oreo is now back down to 7.4 lbs from 7.8 (10ths not oz) a week or so ago. She does seem ok to me, but I get these scared feelings like she's dying. Had that again last night as she lay in my arms purring. She doesn't purr for me all the time now and almost always seems on the verge of getting away from me. She really loves my oldest daughter though and sometimes I will take Oreo to her to get her going. I'm hoping she is ok. The vet will keep a close eye on her while she is boarding there for 8 days coming up while we take a trip to San Diego for spring break. I am very much dreading taking her there. They will keep her out of the dog area. They better than anyone will take good care of her and know all her geriatric needs. I'm just so afraid of her perishing while we're gone being old and not really super healthy and not having Cashmere in there with her to lay with and gain some comfort from. I am also afraid that she will hate me when we come back. Well, enough rambling.

Oh Happymom I am sorry Oreo has lost a little weight. I am sure she is OK. My Ivy lost weight every year as she got older. My post thanking everyone for your thoughts about my Ivy was lost, so just wanted to make sure you all know how much I appreciate your kind words. I miss her very much, but I know I did the right thing. She was such a good and sweet kitty I know she is in heaven with all the other wonderful kitties who have left us.

Thanks Mama, I hope she's ok too, I think she is, I can't help feeling afraid of losing her. Cashmere also lost weight gradually. Oreo has too, she used to be about 12 lb., that was a few years ago. I think that was probably her normal weight for most of her life. Sorry again about Ivy. I know you really miss her.
