Twinkie | Friday, December 12, 2003 - 11:21 pm     Calamity, liver is the best thing you could give Casper for anemia. Raw if possible. It is full of iron. Also iron supplements. It sounds like you could use a few extra supplements yourself. Try to get as much rest as possible and eat healthy foods and take vitamins. You need to take care of yourself to take care of Casper. Oh and you need to get lots of water and so does Casper. I know you wouldn't think so because of the bloating but that's what helps to push the backup out of the system. Take care, hon. |
Juju2bigdog | Saturday, December 13, 2003 - 08:35 am     What do you get when you have: - too much time - a sharp knife - a lime - an indulgent cat - and a camera? (Oh, yes, and a touch of Tequila!!)

Pamy | Saturday, December 13, 2003 - 10:39 am     Moonie's cat Shilo is missing, please send positive thoughts for his safe return!!! Thanks! |
Calamity | Saturday, December 13, 2003 - 04:07 pm     Words just aren’t enough to thank everyone for their comments about Casper. But that’s all I have, so let me again thank Weinermr, Janfts, Lucy, Mamie316, Tagurit, Ruiner, Grannie, and Twinkie for their kindness and concern. I have been so touched by your posts and believe me they have really lifted my spirits. You are all wonderful! Twinkie, my mom said she can get some liver to give to Cass so we’re going to try that. Thank you for the advice! If we could alleviate the anemia even somewhat, I think it would make a world of difference. My mom and a couple friends have given me a few cat-sitting breaks since I’ve been feeling under the weather and that’s really helped. It’s for the best to leave Casper at my dad’s place rather than mine since his house is a lot closer to both the vet’s and my office so I can check on her during the day. But it’s kinda stressful staying here, if you know what I mean. I drive out to my house to pick up the mail, get some changes of clothes, feed the birds and then come back here. But after a couple weeks, it just feels a little strange being here instead of at my own house. I’m sure my dad feels the same way! P.S. I hope Shilo comes home safe and soon. |

Sisalou | Tuesday, December 16, 2003 - 09:00 am     As some of you may know this is the first time I have lived with a cat. This cat really tickles me, sometimes literally. While I'm sleeping I wake up because I have Newnee using my body as a balance beam (an extra large balance beam) as he walks up my side to my head. I can't help but laugh because its funny and I am ticklish! Sometimes he wants to eat and I think other times he just wants to visit at 3am. Now I am sleeping with a dog and cat and somehow I always end up with the short end of the stick. They both congregate down around my legs and I end up sleeping with my legs hanging off the bed. God forbid I should move them, I wouldn't dream of doing that. Anyways, this kitty has captured my heart and I can't imagine being without him. P.S. What is it with cats and newspapers? Everytime I try to read the paper he thinks he should plop himself down in the middle of it. |
Ophiliasgrandma | Tuesday, December 16, 2003 - 09:09 am     Not just newspapers; its the nature of the beast to get between you and whatever it is you are tying to do. |
Sisalou | Tuesday, December 16, 2003 - 09:11 am     I think that is so funny Ophilias! |
Mygetaway | Tuesday, December 16, 2003 - 02:06 pm     Poor Sis, lol.. I know how ya feel there. Sometimes I have all 3 in bed with me. (2 dogs and a cat) Since DH works nights, they think they have full rights to his side of the bed, and as much of mine as they can get. The cat's favorite place is up by my head, but his second favorite spot is on top of me when I'm laying on my side (the balance beam affect, lol) |
Sia | Wednesday, December 17, 2003 - 01:37 pm     {{{Calamity}}} How are things going now? Hugs and much love your way. Moondance, I'm so glad that Shilo came home. Did you get the full story yet as to what was so interesting away from home?

Janfts | Wednesday, December 17, 2003 - 02:54 pm     Moondance-Wonderful that your Shilo came back! Tell that gorgeous boy not to ever scare you like that again!!!! Calamity-so glad you have caring people around you to help. Hope Casper is happy and comfy today! In bed, cleo has to sleep right between us, with his head on one of the pillows. And during the day when he's not off doing his own thing, his favorite spot is cuddling across the top of my chest. I have an ample chest so it must be comfy for laying. I feel like everything i wear has a fur collar though But I'm not complaining...we have our best conversations that way.

Calamity | Friday, December 19, 2003 - 02:06 pm     My dear sweet Casper passed away just before 4 o’clock yesterday morning. My heart is broken. Wednesday afternoon, she was a little listless and I wavered on our plans to go to the movies to see a late matinee. Reluctantly, however, I was persuaded to go and I cannot express how guilty I feel over that now. My dad was watching her while I was out and when I got home after the show he reported that she hadn’t eaten, drank or used the litter box since I had left. As soon as I walked in the living room, she meowed a pathetic little meow and began purring. I took her downstairs and she did use the litter box then. I also got her to take some broth, gravy & water. I even gave her a little milk just as a treat because I figured it couldn’t hurt her by that time. She eagerly lapped the milk. But she was much weaker than before and for the first time since this began seemed to be is some distress. I phoned my mom and she came over for a while, bringing a sandwich. I offered Cass a little bit of the sandwich fixings and she happily ate a couple pieces but then refused any more. In my heart I knew the time had come to say goodbye. I thought I would have to take her to the vet the next day. I stayed up with her, just stroking and talking to her. A few times she sat up a bit, sticking her tongue out. I gave her water and she’d drink a little bit and then collapse again. I am glad I was awake and with her when the time came. I cannot write more or I will start crying again. Thank you all for your kind thoughts during this difficult time. It is so very hard to say goodbye to a friend I have known more than half my life.
