If you love pets and animals and sometimes pray for them, I'm asking if you could say a little prayer for our kitty Ciel. She is only five years old, a sweet, smart Balinese. She was perfectly healthy and active until two days ago, when she started vomiting foam and stopped eating.
Today we took her in to the vet and she has acute renal failure and diabetes. He gave her IV fluids, some meds to fight nausea etc, and a little insulin. We are to give her sub q fluids and try to get her to eat. He says that she can recover completely but she needs to eat and keep food down. He gives her a 60% chance of survival because she is young and it is acute.
We love her so. She is usually riding on my son's shoulders or fetching toys for us to throw. Or annoying her older "sister" cat. It's unbearable to see her like this.
Thanks in advance for your prayers.
Wow, a whipped cream cure. I am so happy for your cat. 21, wow.
Wendle, I get it. But, really? Is this the time and the place?
Yaelle try to give her cooked chicken they LOVE chicken and maybe she will hold it down!!! I am so praying for your kitty I am a HUGE kitty person LOVE THEM ALL!!!! God PLEASE BLESS Yaelles kitty!!!!
The OP is just asking for a little support. Go be self righteous somewhere else.
we lost our 13 year old cat last Nov from the same thing
Prayers up for your kitty...My wife and I have three wonderfully unique cats...All different personalities...We lost a 16 year old Maine Coon cat at Christmas...Placed a “Beloved Pet” marker for her in the back under some trees...Never a night goes by that we don’t tell her goodnight...
Hoping Ciel recovers and has a wonderful life with you...
My Sicilian temper gets the best of me sometimes.
If my cat were sick, and he said this in my presence, the only thing that would beat him to the ER would be the lights on the ambulance.
Aw, lol.
Seriously I knew some people would feel like him which is why I started writing only to like minded pet lovers. We have enough prayer power among us! <3
That’s interesting- whipped cream gosh how did you think of that?
And could not this act of mercy to an animal prove to be the lesson that the good Lord has for Yaelle’s heart? If you were king, we would barely even have pets because they only get a cameo in the gospels (the little puppies who eat the crumbs under the children’s table). However, scientific study shows that people who have pets and care for them are healthier than those who don’t.
F-S-S-S-S-S-S-T!
He probably doesn’t get invited to many parties.
Do you have tuna? You might try that. My feral kitty got very sick and my son (former vet tech) said feed him as much tuna as he will eat.
God bless your kitty cat.
Cats got their proverbial nine lives reputation for a reason, though. It’s more likely than not that Ciel would pull through, just empirically. But certainly use the time to take care of her gently, as best as possible.
I *don’t* get it. The notion that God could be ‘busy’ is preposterous.
“Look at the birds of the air; they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?” (Matthew 6:26) and “Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father. But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows” (Matthew 10:29–31).
Yes, we do!
And you could. Please know that. Some money to help a cat isn’t what would keep me from being rich lol.
trust me :) The offers out there if you need it at some point.
I’m of Siciilian descent and very AT ODDS over their beliefs about cats that some of the older sicilians here still believe.
My cat is my BEST FRIEND!
And yours will be fine!

For Thou dost mark the sparrow’s fall.” — Rocked in the Cradle of the Deep
As the head of a humane society in Michigan I can tell you that the people who bring very sick animals to us pray to St. Francis for healing.
I offer a prayer to St Francis to heal Ciel.
God Bless you and your family.
