1. Oh, I do.
I have 3 cats. Had four but lost one last week - bad heart and diabetes.

Its just so hard to know what to do and I'm glad I'm not in your situation right now - but it sounds like you have a good vet. And sometimes antibiotics just do wonders almost overnite.

I'm sending good thoughts your way.

5. I'm so sorry about your loss
It's completely agonizing to lose these little critters. They add so much to our lives, don't they?

6. Thank you.
Yes, cats are really amazing creatures. And the one I lost was just the sweetest thing - have had her since she was 3 weeks old.

I really miss her.

7. I care
My girl died recently so I know how much it hurts to lose a friend.

How is your sick kitty? Getting worse, getting better?

Either way it's rough.

Khash.

13. He's throwing up constantly, some of which is just fluid (bile, maybe?)
He's very listless and seems depressed. He's a chronic vomiter, but it's been very worrisome over the past couple of days.

Tonight he seems a little brighter, but is still very quiet and doesn't feel like eating anything. He will drink a little water, but I can't interest him in food yet.

His timing is LOUSY; I have my last exam of law school Monday morning, and I can't concentrate on studying to save my life. Poor little guy! He's so much more important to me than this stupid exam (but I have to pass it or I won't graduate, so I guess I'd better hunker down; at least I have tomorrow to TRY to study).

Thanks to all for your concern!

19. Damn, that's awful!
Have you tried turkey baby food w/ him? It is very mild on the intestinal tract. Acidophillus might be a good thing to try. It will not hurt, and if his intestinal flora is messed up it could help quite a bit.

Keep him on your lap while you study - it will help you both.

Most importantly! - Don't 'act' like you are terribly concerned about his health around him, think positive thoughts - they pick up on everything!

18. he DOES look like Monty!
Your cats are beautiful. last year my other car got a blockage in his urethra and I almost lost him. He had no symptoms I noticed, except he acted "wierd". I don;t know how to explain it, I just knew he was sick. THe vets said his bladder would have burst in a few more hours. I hope Simba gets better. It makes me heartsick to think about losing a cherished friend.
