Omg I am sorry, but I came on here becasue I was upset and thought there would be some people willing to send some good vibes, wish good luck you know that stuff.
I know you wanted us to send good vibes, but you see, we want you to send your cat to the vet.
No, I don't. Im serious, Im not getting another peircing anytime soon because I haven't been to the dentist for my braces in 4 months, and we owe them money, so no, you dont know I have the money, because I dont!
I seem to remember a thread where someone bought one of your horse blankets and you'd have that $80 for agility. Screw agility and put the $80 towards poor Jenny's vet bill. Work something out. There's got to be a shelter near you, sometimes you can arrange things with their vets. Low cost clinics? Once again there's probably one within a two hour drive.
Agility ...if anyone should stay on this forum you should . At your age you need the support and guidance from those with a little more wisdom as animal lovers . Yes, we did come on hot and heavy , but we were worried about Jenny ..( many posts said that ) .... Unless you do something foolish in the next few years , this will not be thrown back into your face . We are a caring group , both member and pet wise . You aren't eating cow by staying .... you are showing maturity and that you can suck it up . A (( hug )) to the gal you can be !
Grammy, things like that is why I admire you... you are a gem, truly unique and one of a kind.
enough is enough, put asside your needs, do whats best for the cat!
take her to a rescue where she will get the help she so deserves!!!
the OP said:
You know, this may sound kinda cokey, but Jenny has been in a house of dogs all her life. Shes devolped a "Stay away from me, or I'll hurt you!" additude twords the dogs, and she usualy defends her self, however, she had been sick and tired the past little while (old age, I do belive) and couldn't stand her own. And don't worry about it, I will not let this happen again!
I am appalled that she has to defend herself. And that she is old, sick, cannot stand on her own, and she had to "defend" herself and was not taken to a vet IMMEDIATELY. I don't know how old she is, but if she couldn't stand, she had better be over 15, or it's not old age. Cats don't get decrepit that quickly. My neighbor's 16 year old was tearing around the house creating havoc only weeks before his death. When cats are so old and decrepit they cannot stand, quality of life is gone and it's time to put them to sleep. However, he walkign and eating now seems to contradict the old age theory.
Like, don't you think I am going through enough? Jenny still isn't out of the woods, and then I come on here to talk to people who have treated me like family before, and they talk to me like Im a child who doesn't know anything!
Heres a Jenny update:
She has been eating fine, but as of yesterday she hadn't peed or anything, well this morning at 6:40AM when I got up to pee, once I was back, she decided to pee as well... On me. On my bed. There was not blood in her pee or anything, and I think its pretty safe to say, since shes up and walking, eating, drinking, and using the washroom (in this case my bed!) that shes mostly out of the woods.
So she's mostly out of the woods, she isn't out of the woods, what? She's an old, sick cat but don't worry, she's out of the woods? No idea what to think here. But if you think a kitty peeing on your bed is out of the woods you have another thing coming. Please confine her to your room and make sure there's a lot of vertical space for her, and cozy places to hide. This can be achieved with boxes, stealing chairs from other places around the house, a cat tree if you have one, etc etc. Put several litterboxes in there for her, and if she's an outdoor cat fill one or two with dirt or sand from your yard instead of litter, and gradually transition her over to the litter. Please keep her away form your dogs--if they did this once they will do it again. If you let her outside no matter how "happy" it makes her, you are not only being negligent in getting her much-needed medical care you are being negligent over her safety. She is already probably miserable and hurting, I don't think not being allowed outside will do much more harm. Besides, sometimes what is best for them is not what they think is best for themselves. If you aren't prepared to keep her safely away form the dogs, then I echo what everyone else has said.. please let her go to a rescue where they will find a dogless home for her and give her the care she needs.
Please, I'd like you all to know, that Im not as horrible as some of you think. Had this happened on anyother day, once we had a vet to go to, Jenny would have been taking to the vet. She would have, and not because you all "went down my throat"(I wouldn't really call it that, but can't think of anything else this early.) about it, it's because I LOVE MY ANIMALS, and 9 out of 10 times, I do my **** best to do the best for the animal. This was just one of the few that I couldn't.
In reply to the italicised part.. it's not that you don't have a vet. You let it slip in another post that you don't have a vet because you can't find one good enough with horses or something like that. Funnily enough, Jenny is not a horse, she's a cat, and most vets are competent in cats if not experts. I'm sure there are plenty of vets to choose from. The money situation is addressed above.
Sorry, but this is my cat, and my life.
But that really says it all.
So I'm done here. Regardless of what I and other posters and lurkers think about you, Agilitypup, I hope you get Jenny to a veterinarian and soon. It's not your actions I'm going to remember in the long run, it's Jenny's health that's going to
matter to me.
