Prayers that the medication you are giving your cat will bring her to complete recovery.
Lifting your kitty up in prayer. May this dear pet find rest and healing.
Prayers also for you. You are a wonderful cat owner, may you be blessed in your home and employment.
The ancient word for cat from Egypt is Mau. Which comes from the meow sound they make. I pray for Mau.
God has granted to our feline friends nine lives. They need them. The life of a cat is hard. Especially an outdoor cat. But, they wear them well. We are afraid of the inevitable loss of our companions. A sixteen year old cat is way beyond the norm. Still in the range of the possible, but every day is a day closer to the end. Embrace the process. Accept the inevitable. Be grateful that she did not have to live on without you. After all, it is the survivors who mourn.
When it was time for the end for Pedro, my best friend, at 17, I had the vet come to the house, and slowly put him off to sleep in my arms, in the sunny spot he favored.
Prayers are needed all right, but for the survivor. It is you that is in my prayers.
Every reply in this thread has given me a little shot in the arm. Very kind and decent people populate this forum.
We pray that your kitty will be well soon!
Sixteen is a beautiful age for a cat. Lots of good times :)
If you’re watching her suffer, then it’s time to let her go.
Go ahead, lay with her and tell her about all the wonderful times you’ve had with her. Remind her of those times. Talk to her, let her hear your voice and the love in it. Watch her. Sometimes you may say something to her that will make her react lovingly towards you. Laugh, cry, pet her the special way she loves to be petted.
Take time for her NOW so that later on you will not have regrets or feel guilty for not doing something. Instead you will remember the quiet time you’ve had with her during her recovery. It will be a comforting memory.
Prayers up for your kitty and you.
Lord have mercy.
May I ask your kitty’s name? Prayers for sure!! We all understand.
I have an older cat and he has had a few problems too. I grow cat grass which is good for their digestive system if they are indoor cats especially. I pray for you and your little furry friend, I know how you feel, I’ve had my cat companion for over fifteen years.
I hope that the vets can find the cause of your kitty’s problem and effect a rapid cure for it. I hope your kitty will be relieved of any pain she is in soon.
I totally feel your pain, but hang in there. All of our animals are rescues. Last Sunday we had to put our beloved 16 year old dog to sleep. In May we lost our 1 1/2 year old puppy to a freak accident.....it has been a summer.
One thing: there is a thing called nutritional yeast. You can buy it at health food stores, whole foods, etc. It is a powder loaded w/ nutrients & calories & animals love it. Mix into her food to get extra nutrients into her. There is also a high caloric tube of gel that is for animals that are sick or convalescing. You get it at a vet. And yes, get a second opinion.
Sending love rays to you both.
I’m sitting here, as I am most evenings, with a book, a cup of coffee, and my little dog curled up and asleep on my lap. Prayers up for you and your pet.
Adding mine to you and your cat.
We’ve lost two kitties to old age, and another 14-year-old is concerning us. I will pray for your kitty. (Please don’t let her suffer.)
Prayers up
I will keep you and your kitteh in my prayers. As a mother to 2 cats and 5 dogs I feel your pain. I’ve lost several cats and dogs. See my tagline. That was my dog and my life. I will pray for your strength to know when to do the right thing.
Heartfelt best wishes from myself and our four cats. We had five at the beginning of the year, hence, we totally understand. Cats know who their friends are.
Prayers for your cat.
