My Cat

So if you've ever been in the AIM Disco Chat, I'm sure you've heard me in there talk about my cat. Specifically about how she's always on my lap. I love her a lot. Less likely is that you've heard about how she's sick. I've probably talked about how she's a sick kitty. She's always had problems with her sinuses and what not. Then I may have said that she was vomiting and such.

Well... it's bad. We had taken her to the vet a little over a month ago. They didn't run a lot of tests and just gave her some anti-nausea pills. They sent her home and she stopped throwing up for a little while. Over the month she's had spells where's she's vomited several times. Over the past month she has lost over 2 pounds (a lot for a cat). My family is low on funds and we really haven't been able to afford much. So we sort of procrastinated in taking her to the vet again.

Today we took her to the vet. We went in to get her looked at, and hoped to get some more anti-nausea stuff for her. They ran tests on her. She's sick. Very sick. We waited about fifteen minutes for them to come back with their first sets of tests. They said that it looked like it was really bad. They at first had said that she had lost a lot of weight and that at closer examination her belly was filled with fluid. Because of this they suggested that she might have heart disease or cancer. It looked really bad, but they still needed to run tests.

Upon their second arrival at tests, they had run kitten leukemia tests and came back with a negative. They had also run some other tests and ruled out heart disease. Then they ruled out another fatal disease for cats. The bad news was that she had an extremely high white blood cell count. The average high range for cats to have is a rating of 18. My cat scaled in around the upper forties. At this point they knew that she had a serious infection. They ran more tests. After this from what they gathered, she was very, very sick. To get a sure-fire diagnosis would cost a huge sum of money. Let alone treat it. They figured that she had a septic infection. If we were to try and treat the infection, we would have to take her to an animal hospital. The price would be at least a few thousand dollars. The chance of success of her survival would only be around 30-40 percent.
So we had to make a decision. We simply can't afford to do such an expensive procedure that has an abysmal survival rate. She'd also be suffering from what they told us. Out only option was euthanasia. So we scheduled an appointment for this Thursday. Thursday afternoon my cat will be put down.

I am feeling so terrible right now. I loved this cat so much. I have today and tomorrow to be with my cat. I'll never see her again after this. This cat meant so much to me, she had such a great personality. She was loving and loved attention. Now she's sleeping a lot and lost her spunk. I such little timer with her now... it's the worst feeling...

Seriously sorry to hear that.

There aren't a whole lot of things that can quickly ease the pain of losing a loved one. I don't know what to say to be of any help, but you have my condolences. All I can say is, even if she is sleeping most of the time, try to just spend as much time with her as possible and try to remember that at least she won't have to suffer, if what the doctors said was true.

Hope things will get better for you.

Wow, that's a kick in the bum..

It's hard to get over the loss of a friend, even if it happens to be a cat, dog or any other important animal that others consider to be a very minor thing. Heck, it doesn't even have to be living..

A while ago, a friend of mine lost his pet dog who had been his faithful companion for many years. He was very depressed because his dog had meant so much to him. When he had problems to cope with and everyone else would ignore him, his dog would be right there, waiting to help him. They've been together for many years to see them split up due to unfortunate but inevitable events is just heartbreaking.

I'm really sorry to hear about your loss and I hope things end up well. :/

My dog who I had since 1994 died in the summer, it was quite a sad day. :(

Three of my best friend's pets died in a single year. His 18 year old fat cat, his 11 year old Alaskan Malamute (their average lifespan is 10, so he was older than normal), and his 21 year old black cat just died less than a month ago.

All that remains is my 5 year old Siamese cat, Kitty. :3

bair is such an underated move... it is GREAT oos (probably lucas's best oos option), has decent KO potential, and can be used to edgeguard people thanks to its super armor frames

This is one of the funniest posts I've ever read. Lucas' bair is his worst aerial. It will NEVER kill unless it spikes. Good luck with that.

Better OoS options are pretty much ANY OTHER AERIAL except SH dair.
