our cat needs your good lounge vibes
Arawn is elderly and has always had some health issues. We don't really know how old he is. We brought him home from the Humane Society as an adult 7 years ago. He has significant arthritis in his spine and hips. When we took him to the vet 3 weeks ago he was dehydrated and constipated. He was given fluids and cod liver oil and pain meds. Now he is unable to void his bladder. His kidneys may be failing. He's at the vets for catheterization and observation.

3. thank you
our other kitty is so confused. People are packing up and leaving, first the friend of Daughter #1 that stayed with us for about 5 months and now Daughter #1 is packing to move. Then Daughter #3 returned from her year in Germany, and now Arawn has gone somewhere. Ritz was a kitten when he came from the Humane Society the same day as Arawn

2. I'm sorry to hear about your cat.
He's a beauty. I also have a black kitty of an unknown age. Arawn (lovely name, BTW) is getting the care he needs at the vet. I'll be hoping for a good outcome for him. Sometimes, they just need some supportive care and they bounce back.

5. I'm sending good vibes

and prayers your way. I'm so sorry this happened.

I went through a similar experience with one of my guys, Darwin.
He's a 5 yr.old long haired black male cat. He pulled through.

Arawn is a very handsome cat. He looks exactly like Nemo, Darwin's
brother.

I hope he gets well soon. I'm sending a big hug to you and yours
at this difficult time.

:hug:

7. Ohh, what beautiful kitties!



They look so sweet and contemplative in their photos.


I'm sorry to hear of Arawn's difficulties. I am soooo sending good vibes and best wishes for his quick and strong recovery. And bless your heart for taking such good care of him.

Come on Arawn, soak up all the love coming your way and let it bring your good health back to you!


:hug:
