What happened to Anakin? I feel a little out of the loop here. I'm very glad he's doing better though.
As for Tishan. I'm so very sorry. I know how hard it is but you are right that she's telling you what is going on and I'm a little mad at your neighbor.
I remember with my Sydney they told me that they could take part of her jaw and she could live a bit longer and while I wanted her with me, I just couldn't do it to her. I knew she wouldn't be happy and she'd be in pain and I wanted her to be spared all of that.
So I know it will be hard but remember it is about doing what is best for that baby even if it means letting go. So I think you've made the right decision.
And now that I've cried a lot while typing this... I'll send lots of hugs. *hugs*
You haven't been out of the loop, I'm the one who hasn't been around and haven't had the energy to even post. When I went to China, Anakin had a really bad life threatening urinary track blockage and his bladder was the size of a cantaloup. My neighbor didn't tell me because there wasn't anything I could do. He spent 4 days in the ER and his meds were done by the time I got home and he seemed ok. It was most likely because I wasn't around, food and litter were in the living room because my landlord was gutting and remodeling my kitchen. It was blocked off but all the demolition noise must have been too stressful for him and he got sick. Then July was really hot and he was not eating and sleeping under the bed, but it's cooler under there so that wasn't a concern and I figured he MUST be eating, just not when I am around. I thought I would know if he wasn't really eating ANYTHING. But it turns out he probably didn't eat ANYTHING for a few weeks. He spent a week in the ER, somehow he got a pancreas infection which caused him to be

Wow. Poor Anakin and yeah they never appreciate all we go through for them but then I don't think they get it poor things. My kitty would hold a grudge for a couple days after being at the vet but the night we let her go she just curled close and drifted away. Very hard

*HUGS* people said I would know and I kept thinking, 'I DONT KNOW' but then the time came and I did know. I does help even though it is so very hard to let them go. I know people who say they will never get another animal because it hurt too much to lose them but the joy they bring to my life makes it worth the pain and heartache. But I'm not going to be getting another any time soon. I think 4 is a good number. I definitely hope Cashel (Tishan's littermate and 17.5) can stay healthy for a year, I can't deal with this again.
I just haven't wanted to get another animal because they are so dependent on you and I do feel I can devote that time right now. Which is sad because I wanted a furry baby.
I do have the strays outside which did let me pet them a little last night but I want to cuddle them.
Well you do have 4. That is a lot of cat and they should keep you sufficiently covered in the kitty love department.
It's just there are those who don't want anything to do with another animal, theirs or otherwise, after the death of one of them.
My sister was like that. When her Phoebe died, my Sydney tried cuddling her and she wanted no part of it. My sister was around Sydney the whole of her life and Syd didn't get why auntie didn't want her especially when she missed her own sister too.
My sister got over it but I've seen it happen too much. That's all I meant.
