Thank you all for the lovely ... Colorado and his brofur Napoleon, they are both furry sick kitties but Napoleon is much worse right now than Colorado is. Colorado is on medication and Napoleon may be as sick as I was. My mommy is furry worried about him!!! This is serious business!!! Bet you didn't know this but Bengals are very prone to IBD. Yup, it's definitely a genetic thing with them! My mom thinks that bad bacteria caused this since it was first Colorado that got sick and within days Napoleon got sick. Bacteria can be one of the causes of IBD along with other factors like food. Anyway, please purr hard for these two kitties, they are have a very rough time! Thanks again everyone! Be sure and stick around for some celebratory tuna samiches, sardine cuppycakes and niptinis.

My dear friend Simba has passed away and is now here at the bridge with us. His fami ... Simba has passed away and is now here at the bridge with us. His family is of course hurting badly. Please go and comfort them. If you don't know what happened, Simba's cancer came back and spread very quickly. He had blood in his lungs and one of his lungs completely stopped working very recently. Finally his little body could not take anymore. I think this is part of the reason we haven't been around much lately. Not because of Simba but because mom is having a hard time losing friends and helping others on other sites at the same time. We've been dealing with stuff with grampy, he's a complete mean grouch again and back at picking on mom and everyone else too. We don't know how many years he has left so mom is trying to be patient but he's so insulting and mean sometimes. He's been like this to mom her entire life. She's got a lot of unresolved feelings to deal with. And Midnight is having some poopy problems. Vet says nothing obvious is wrong, could be dementia, could be she's mad at grampy because she hasn't wanted to leave him alone, poking him in the lip, doing all kinds of weird things. She must know something we don't. But he's tired of it and doesn't want to be bothered. So maybe she's mad. I don't know. Mom is trying not to be worried but you know my mom! So we apologize again for missing everyone's important days. Mom has just needed a break she's been REALLY REALLY REALLY busy on another forum helping a ton of sick kitties with IBD and lymphoma. sheesh there's a lot! Very frustrating for us. Seems it's just getting worse and worse with these illnesses. A friend of ours said yesterday that it seems like the more we pet parents express our concerns to pet food companies the more they put junk in the food that doesn't belong there. Like it's a battle of wits or something and they don't care who's the ones getting hurt, THE KITTIES. Makes us so mad. So anyway that's our story. We miss the old days when we used to have pawties here on Catster and had so much fun. Nobody is around anymore, it seems so blah here. Where did everyone go? We're not leaving or anything, don't worry about that. Just taking a little snooze, MOL. We love you all and Simba's meowmy, please know I've already greeted him and have taken him to see his family here. He's being groomed and getting a great big meal because now he's hungry again. He's resting on a big bed of flowers and will be fine now. Please know we love you and we're sending you huge hugs of comfort from across the pond.]]> http://www.catster.com/cats/1127878/diary/An_angels_notes_for_the_day/778553 Fri, 4 May 2012 11:34:49 PDT Alex (sweet angel girl) ~ writing at catster.com http://www.catster.com/cats/1127878/diary/An_angels_notes_for_the_day/778553 I just changed my preferences on my photos and my diaries again.

He was a fra ... Finney's diary, mom's uncle passed away tonight. He was a frail man who was paralyzed most of his adult life with MS and recently had a heart attack and was diagnosed with lung cancer. He was in the hospital and for some reason was released and passed away tonight at home. Mom is very, very sad. And that's why we DON'T want you to stop helping me celebrate my wonderful week! Please Don't stop! We need this so bad. This is the 3rd close relative mom has lost in less than 5 months. She's supposed to go tomorrow morning for her steroid shot, they had a cancellation. Now she doesn't know what is happening. Grammy and grampy are supposed to give her a ride home. I'm sure they still can. But anyways, the point is, she's very sad right now but does NOT want to stop celebrating my wonderful, wonderful and special week with all of you! That's the last thing she needs right now. Tomorrow is only Thursday, we still have a few days left of pawtying and having fun. So let's do that okay? If there's anything mom has learned in this year especially, it's don't waste any time! Be with the ones you love and enjoy each other! Comfort her, love her and let her know you're there. Because we know you are all so terrific at doing that. You are a spectacular support system. But also don't stop coming here with me and laughing and having fun because that would be a dishonor to mom's uncle who never got the chance to do so many of the things we all do everyday. But he is right now. He's flying and soaring and screeching across the sky like a shooting star! We know it! Mom would go nuts if she didn't have her friends here to turn to. She would literally be in a ball depressed. It's because of you all that she isn't. So thank you! I'm gonna go and find him now if I can. Maybe he can come and visit mom with me. She'd like that.

Lucky Bamboo is NOT a true bamboo but a member of the lily family called (Dracaena) which is extremely toxic. It can cause salivation, kidney failure, dilated pupils, vomiting, diarrhea, etc. Our moms live about 25-30 minutes away from each other. They were supposed to go to lunch and meet soon but mom hurt her back and all of that. My mom left Hunter's mom our phone # but she might have left before seeing it. Please purr he's okay and if anyone is ever unsure about plants just don't have them in your house!!! Please!! It's not worth it! Update: since I can't even comment in my own diary and no one else can either, I'll let you all know that Hunter is home and the ER wasn't much help to his mom. They basically said because he's not showing any symptoms to watch him closely and if he starts to throw up or have diarrhea bring him in ASAP. They did try to make him vomit and he wouldn't.

We've b ... Purrcy has developed lymphoma and will be crossing over to join me here at the bridge today. He's been through ENORMOUS amounts of problems with his health. He had been doing well for awhile though. As a matter of fact he went camping with his family this summer. They were supposed to stop to see my mom on their way up north to the White Mountains of New Hampshire. Things were busy and for whatever reason it didn't happen. Mom wishes now it had so she could have given Purrcy a hug and some kisses. Now it's up to me to do that. There's always some painful times here on Catster and this summer certainly has seen it's share. I have to say that if it hadn't worked out so well with Ingen I think we'd all have gone nuts with grief. Thank goodness for that because without that balance of at least having some hope and happiness, it would just be too much. Momma doesn't know the exact details yet as Purrcy's momma is just too distraught to talk about it. But we do know that she and Purrcy have gone above and beyond to fight his illnesses so this must be pretty bad for her to say it's time. She has always said that if he was suffering too much, she would let put her own feelings aside and let him go. That's what we do as parents, we put our feelings of heartbreak aside. I love that boy. When we first joined here he was one of my first friends. He wrote such funny diaries, we laughed so hard all the time, it was a joy to read them. That hasn't happened in a long time now. Please purr for my handsome, polydactyl, Maine Coon friend. Purr he has a peaceful journey here and purr his mom is surrounded by warmth, comfort and peace. If you'd like to read Purrcy's story on my website, here's his page: Purrcy. I'll be waiting for you Purrcy, the angels are getting ready for you.

Please go and give them support as I know only a true Catster can. She's heartbroken. My mommy went to physical therapy today and is hurtin' pretty bad tonight. She'll live but she's feeling tired and her stupid doctor called in some dumb pills that were SUPPOSED to be her pain meds and they weren't. So tonight she had to call the on call doc to get the regular ones. Then tomorrow she gets to call her doctor and do this all over again. She says she feels like she's living at the drug store! Full moon tonight and it's been messing with the computer all day too. Although right now Finney is back in his warm bed that he hasn't been in all summer. And he's doing that super duper cute kneading stuff. He's so funny, he gets into it big time! His back legs stick up while he's doing it and he's all purring loud and stuff, MOL.

We love you guys! Poor little Novi wants to play with her and she's so confused right now. Don't worry sweetie, she's had a rough couple of weeks. She'll be okay, I promise. I need some rest too now.

This afternoon we'll be ... Sally Mariahere after a very lengthy set of illnesses. Sally Maria has IBD, HCM, Mitral valve regurgitation, lymphoma and kidney disease. She's lived much longer than the docs or her pawents ever thought she would. Her pawents have not been sure for awhile now when it would be her time. But her quality of life has gone down significantly as of late and her mom and dad feel it's time to let her go with dignity and let her have the rest she so badly deserves. Please know momma Kristi that me and my family love you and Sally SO VERY MUCH. You have been the most wonderful and supportive friend to use since we met you only a little over a year ago. You asked that I join the other angels to be there for Sally Maria and I would not be any other place right now. You also said you'd need my momma's support and the support of all of your loving friends here on Catster, you have it. You will ALWAYS have it, 100%! We just adore you and your very kind heart. This will be so hard for your family. But you are a wonderful mom that has taken amazing care of your girl. She couldn't have had better. So please purr today for Sally Maria as she joins us here at the bridge. Please purr for her family and offer as much support as you can. It will be needed. If you'd like to read Sally's full medical history and story of her illness you can do so at my website: http://ibdkitties.net/sallyp.html.

"it was unexpected by anyone as he had been doing so well--he had been doing well and had a comfortable night. he arrested this morning but they had gotten him back. as soon as they told me, i raced down there to be with him. i got to hold him and kiss him as he died. i will miss him terribly." It hurts each and every time we lose a friend, new ones or old ones. Sweet little Max, I'll be there to show you around the bridge and help you heal. You'll make a wonderful angel. Please send his family lots of purrs and love. You can see some pictures of him here: Pics of Max. It's a public link even though it's on Facebook.]]> http://www.catster.com/cats/1127878/diary/An_angels_notes_for_the_day/737335 Wed, 7 Sep 2011 14:58:26 PDT Alex (sweet angel girl) ~ writing at catster.com http://www.catster.com/cats/1127878/diary/An_angels_notes_for_the_day/737335 I made a new friend yesterday and he needs some purrs. His name is Max and he's in the hospital and ... Max and he's in the hospital and not feeling very well. How I met him was through one of threads about feeding kitties spinach. What's kinda funny is that I'd forgotten that spinach is NOT good for kitties until I looked at my own website! Hey, Mom can't remember what she did yesterday, never mind everything we have written on there. But indeed spinach, although not toxic, is VERY troublesome. Max's mom has given me permission to use her posts and her pawmails because she wants everyone to know what is happening with Max. This was her posts in the thread: "Don't give spinach--it contains oxalates which can put the cat into renal failure--which i am now battling with my dear cat's life in jeopardy. if i had only known--i always thought it was so funny how much he loved it, i bought it just for him. it wasn't on any of the poison lists and now i find that i may have cut short his life. i pray he lives through this--never another bit of human food for any of them." This is heartbreaking and she's doing all she can for him. Her pawmails to me read: "it's just becoming more known that spinach is a problem. it causes oxalate deposition and right now it looks like that is the most likely cause of his problem. he got IV and subcutaneous fluids yesterday evening and it was a rough night--he wouldn't eat, didn't pee, just drooled. I forced a little oral water and at least he didn't vomit. This morning we had to use a needle to get urine from the bladder to test and after that. So, more fluid and tests today and tomorrow I may have to take him to the state vet college for dialysis if he's unimproved." My answer to that original poster after I looked it up was: "Spinach can cause crystal formation in the urinary tract and should be avoided completely in cats with urinary problems. But on the whole I'd say don't feed kitties any raw veggies! Or any veggies at all frankly. Cats are obligate carnivores and there's no reason for them to eat so many vegetables. They do have it in their foods already so I wouldn't do it. Even cooked veggies can cause gas, diarrhea, digestion problems. Their bodies aren't designed like a humans that need it." So #1, if you could please go to Max's page and offer some support to his mom. She doesn't have time to do a diary so maybe you could send her a pawmail, or just support her here on this diary because she will be checking in on it once I let her know it's up. And #2, please realize that so many foods that are good for humans are NOT good for kitties. Dogs are slightly different as they are omnivores. Carnivores do not need greens even though for some strange reason they love them. But that doesn't mean they should have them. Carrots & peas are the leading veggies in a lot of their canned foods because they are safe, highly digestible and they offer enough fiber for what they need. I don't care how much a kitty begs for something, always know that saying "NO" can save your kitty's life. In the short term and the long run. http://ibdkitties.net/Toxicfoods.html]]> http://www.catster.com/cats/1127878/diary/An_angels_notes_for_the_day/736246 Thu, 1 Sep 2011 14:11:45 PDT Alex (sweet angel girl) ~ writing at catster.com http://www.catster.com/cats/1127878/diary/An_angels_notes_for_the_day/736246 Please if you can everyone, please purr for my friend Kelli.

We need purrs extra badly for a kitty on our website, Maggie. She's ... Maggie. She's been sick off and on since last fall but started to get worse in January. For the last couple of weeks it's gotten even worse. This kitty is SO sick it's just unreal. She's been in the hospital for the last two days in an oxygen tunnel. She's having a hard time breathing, she was constipated, she's hardly eating and her temp keeps spiking high and going down, spiking high and going down. They gave her a second shot of Baytril today, she's really having a hard time fighting this. I'm so scared for her and we love her and her mommy so much. They are such wonderful friends. We want to know what the heck is going on this summer with all of these sudden high fevers in kitties? Has anyone else noticed this? Seriously! So many on here are being hospitalized for it and so many that we know outside of Catster. It's frightening. We think it has SO MUCH to do with all of the horrible heat that's been never ending. She lives in Texas so it's been so much hotter there than anywhere else other than Arizona. Please keep little Maggie in your purrs. We're so so worried about her. Thank you.]]> http://www.catster.com/cats/1127878/diary/An_angels_notes_for_the_day/729282 Thu, 21 Jul 2011 13:29:50 PDT Alex (sweet angel girl) ~ writing at catster.com http://www.catster.com/cats/1127878/diary/An_angels_notes_for_the_day/729282 Well, it's hard to believe but for the first time ever, I'm an official guardian angel.

She's good friends with them and Indy's mommy is the nicest and sweetest person and she loves Indy and Kitty Pryde so much. She's blaming herself and we know that it's not anything she did! Please, please, please purr as loud as you can and go and offer support. This is making my mommy's eyes leak too and we just can't believe this is happening. It just CAN'T BE!

Boxie Brown has made his journey to the bridge, she'll need a whole box of tissues. Boxie is so important here on Catster, he took over the get well purr list for Hazel Lucy. He has worked tirelessly to make sure it's always up to date and cares for all the kitties here deeply. He's been suffering a lot for awhile now with a heart condition, kidneys, you name it. Now he's in a great deal of pain and can't take anymore of this body so it's time for him to join myself, Hazel Lucy, Apollo, and so many, many more that love him. Please wish Boxie a peaceful journey and purr for him as loud as you can. He deserves it! Also purr hard for our friend Norman who was just diagnosed with IBD and quite a few other things that are wrecking havoc on him as well. Mom is talking with his meowmy and we're doing all we can to help him and not give up! Purr hard for him okay? Thank you all so much! Must go and prepare for the coming of Boxie. There will be a celebration here and lots of paws to welcome him.]]> http://www.catster.com/cats/1127878/diary/An_angels_notes_for_the_day/719470 Thu, 21 Apr 2011 10:34:57 PDT Alex (sweet angel girl) ~ writing at catster.com http://www.catster.com/cats/1127878/diary/An_angels_notes_for_the_day/719470 Hello everyone, Little Vern is not doing so well. That poor little boy has taken a turn for the wors ... Vern is not doing so well. That poor little boy has taken a turn for the worse. Vern can hardly walk at all now. His mom took him back to the chiropractor for one more adjustment yesterday afternoon to see if that would help. The chiropractor determined that three vertebrae had gone out of place in Vern's spine since his last adjustment, but he said that if the problem is neurological and not due to an injury, there's only so much he can do. He only gets up from his bed to eat and drink water, and then he falls down a lot so Nancy has been bringing food and water to him. Also, he's not purring nearly as much as he was and he's getting depressed. Today is Day #3 of the Prednisone so there's still a possibility that could kick in and start helping him. His mom is going to call the neurologist back and let him know how Vern is doing and if he's responding at all to the Prednisone. She's also going to ask him if any of the conditions that the expensive tests are supposed to diagnose are treatable or curable. We have a new auction going for Vern now. Please participate in any way you can, send this link to everyone and anyone you know! We didn't come this far with this little guy to see him give up now! This is breaking his and my mommy's hearts. And I know many of you here have fallen just as much in love with him as we have. It's odd, last week he was camping with his family, doing really well, seemed happy and everyone at the campground fell in love with him (big surprise there). Now he's obviously in pain and needs more help. We gotta see what we can do and rally everyone we can. Here's his new auction link: Vern's Facebook auction page. If you're not on Facebook but would still like to help, please pawmail me and I'll give you her paypal address to make a donation. Or you can even donate something for the auction. Contact Nancy with the pictures and info and she'll put it up for bids! Someone else even thought of donating straight to the vet's practice in Vern's name. that may very well be an option when it gets closer to his appointment in June. There's lots of ways to do this. We can get this done. There's a will and there's a way! Please purr hard for this little guy. He's beaten the odds so far and we love him so much. He's an inspiration to everyone! Thank you my dear friends Luv Alex and family]]> http://www.catster.com/cats/1127878/diary/An_angels_notes_for_the_day/719241 Tue, 19 Apr 2011 11:09:41 PDT Alex (sweet angel girl) ~ writing at catster.com http://www.catster.com/cats/1127878/diary/An_angels_notes_for_the_day/719241 This is one of those awful days where momma wishes she didn't turn the computer on. So many kitties ... Hops is DOTD and we just read his diary entry. It's so incredibly sad mom could hardly bare to read it. Please visit his page and PLEASE send friend requests and comfort. She's tormented by this horrible accident. Why does that always happen here? I've seen this alot when a kitty gets an honor and their diary is of them going to the bridge. Anyways, his mom is very scared and I'm not comfortable with her level of grieving, it's concerning to me so please go and offer support like I know only Catsters can! I just left a long comment in his diary but it's not showing up. I thought it was Catster fleas at first but it looks like all comments need approval first so be patient! Also, Bobcat has crossed the bridge after suffering heart failure last night. He had been fighting CRF for a long time but last night his mom noticed something bad happening to him and rushed him to the ER. He went into heart failure and he had to be helped to the bridge. Please visit his page and offer support to them also. Also, our wonderful new friend Simba recently went to the bridge and he doesn't have a lot of friends. His mom is having trouble with people outside of Catster telling her to MOVE ON and GET BACK TO NORMAL! Again I growl. She's very happy we've been writing to tell her that Catster is the one place that will NEVER EVER tell her anything like that. So I know she'd really appreciate others going to friend her and doing the same. It will give her a lot of comfort, she's such a nice lady. And I don't even want to talk about Vern. He had an appointment with a neurologist yesterday. I don't like the sounds of this. Please purr for him, we'll have to pull together for him again and big time! My little sweetheart, I've fallen so in love with him. On a couple of GOOD notes...Monster's mom saw us talking about looking for an extra carrier for Lacey and she's sending us one!!!!! Can you believe it!? Catsters are the BEST, THE BEST, THE BEST, THE BEST!!! She's got an extra one in her basement so she's shipping it to my mommy! Mom is just constantly surprised at how wonderful and lovely all the kitties and parents are here. Mom had a very rough life and has never met such a nice bunch of humans that do so many terrific things for each other. Honestly, it's all given her hope again and like so many others here, she doesn't feel alone anymore. Thank you Monster and Monster's mommy!!! And our cousin Midnight is doing better. She's now on prednisone and Flagyl (antibiotic) and doing a whole lot better just in a couple of days! Thank you all so much for those purrs, there is NOTHING that works better than a ton of kitties purring at the same time. It's magic! My mommy loves her so much and she loves mommy too. Pilling her is an adventure though that's for sure. She's got SUPER long nails that have never been cut. Let's just say that Midnight's mom, (mom's sister), is NOT a good mommy. This is why my momma cares for her kitties. But all of these Catster purrs are being heard and once again we thank you all from the bottom of our hearts. Okay, gotta go. It's a busy day unfortunately but I think Finney is going to lighten things up this afternoon sometime with a good, funny diary! So look for that. Thanks everyone. We love you.

Midnight was doing so much b ... Moufasa wants his treat. Mom thanks god every day that Lacey and Finney are healthy and happy and she kisses them, plays with them and takes great care of them every day. Every night they cuddle on the bed with her and she kisses them like crazy and tells them "please don't ever get sick! stay healthy and happy for a long, long time". It takes an awful lot out of her doing our website and working with sick kitties. She wouldn't ever stop because we help so many and it's so gratifying! She knows this is what she has to do now and has no regrets. But sometimes her soul and heart get so tired. It tears her up to not be able to help each and every one. Today she squirted some medicine into Middy's mouth and even though it was yucky and gross, Middy came upstairs and meowed at the door. She wanted mommy to go downstairs and sit with her on the porch in the sun. She laid down on mommy and just relaxed while my mom gave her soft and loving belly rubs while kissing her. She loves my mom so much. So did Mouffey. They know she is connected to animals. But that's why it's so painful when they hurt. Mom feels that pain so deeply. My mom is a very empathic human. Please can you send my mommy and Midnight some POTP? She really needs it and knows it will help her get through this, no matter what happens. We love you all so much and we thank heaven for the day we came here. Only all of you can understand how deep this pain runs in her heart. Mom's gonna lay down with Finney and Lacey in a little bit and watch the movie "Tangled". She's been wanting to see that and it'll lift her spirits. Thanks all of you wonderful furries! None of us know how we've ever made it without you.

I don't know if I've ever been a DDP! I don't think so, I can't really remember. But thank you ... Marta, passed away on Feb. 16th. Her mom wrote me, she has not been able to change her page or say anything, she's just too distraught. Marta went through something very similar to me, only she developed a mass in her stomach and her mom was able to have a mobile vet go to their home. That way Marta could come to the bridge in her momma's arms. You know this is happening A LOT! COTD, COTD, DOTD, kitties that have JUST passed. Very strange coincidences! Anyways, her momma believes as we do, that Marta is still with her and can visit her anytime, just not in physical form anymore. That's half the battle for her healing. The good news is that her momma has already opened her heart to a rescue kitty named Mitzi! Mitzi's page is not up yet but she'll do it soon. I'm so proud of her for taking the chance and knowing this is what Marta would want, for her heart to remain open and to continue to give love. I'm so happy we've made friends with her family, I think this is the beginning of a terrific friendship. So please if you have time, visit Marta's page and drop her momma a message or something to say hi, send friend requests, open your heart to someone who obviously has a very big heart herself. We have no doubt you all will, love is what you're all about! Thank you for my DDP! I'm so happy! We love you all BIG TIME!

Apollo has cancer spots on his pancreas and liver; big, inflamed lesions on his small intestine and where the small and large intestine meet there is a large lesion built up around the opening, making the opening quite small. The vet said he is in a lot of pain and the cancer will be getting worse. The vet said to find out exactly what type of cancer, a biopsy would have to be done. His mom is not doing that, no more tests. He's not eating enough and is getting weaker. This cancer is obviously aggressive and we don't know how much time Apollo has left. As you all know it's been a very, very hard couple of weeks and the losses are mounting. We all do the best we can and nature will do as it wishes unfortunately. Please purr for him to not have anymore pain and for his mom to help her deal with all of this. Thanks everyone, lots of love, purrs, headbonks and sandpaper kisses to all of you.

Also our wonderful and loving friend Kally Kat who has a lump on her booby and will have it surgically removed on St. Patty's day. I am convinced that is a lucky sign for her and her mom just said the labs all came back normal! So purr hard for her, we all love her dearly here on Catster. She's one of the most pawsome friends we know. Monida's little friend Henry was hit by a car yesterday and didn't make it. His family is crushed! Please visit them and offer them hugs. Our cousin Midnight is honestly having a very difficult time and yesterday we thought we were going to lose her. And in typical kitty fashion she decided at 6:30 pm to come out of her starvation trance and start eating! This is the roller coaster that mom was on with me and it's tearing her up to see Middy going through this. Clearly she's not ready to leave yet but she sure scared everyone and she made herself very weak in the process. Ugh. I'm trying to help mom! I promise I am! I hate seeing my mommy go through this again. She went through it with Midnight's brofur Moufasa and lost him in December and now her. And now for some wonderful news! Little Miranda just wrote in her diary that she got her splints off! She's back to walking and using her legs again and no more splints! Bless her family for saving her life. They are her saviors and I'm sure she loves them more than anything in this world. Okay everyone, please excuse me. I have a lot of work to do. We're holding an emergency meeting here at the bridge and I have to go find Aryeh, Queen Tallulah, Calvin, Scooter and the others so we can start sprinkling some mega angel dust all over the place! We're going to have to get our newcomers ready to go out early because we need all the help we can get with everything going on. Milo and Henry are too new, they need to rest for a little while. But we need our big guns on all this stuff! If any of you are here at the bridge and you're reading this, start gathering the others for our meeting. We have a lot of work to do! All of you here on earth get your purr machines going! We're gonna need those too! As Kally Kat would say, lubs lubs lubs to all of you!

Vern, get some testing done to see what’s going on with him. Vern is just the cutest thing, he’s got some kind of neuropathy going on with his back legs. He needs to see the vet and get some tests done to see what exactly is going on and what else can be done for him, so he doesn’t backslide and hopefully improves. Like everyone else these days the family has their own health issues and cannot afford it at the moment. He has a real shot at a long and happy life so they’re holding an auction on Facebook to raise money for his tests. The auction will run until 5:00pm next Sunday 2/27, and we expect that it will raise enough money to cover the cost of Vern's blood test and at least some treatment. You do need to have a Facebook, account in order to view it and participate but those of you who aren’t on Facebook (like me), please contact Vern's momma Nancy on his page if you’d like to help out in any way. http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Verns-Auction-House/155453441176630 Thanks everyone! If you can't help out because you're in your own tough situation, please don't feel bad. You can always go to Vern's page and offer support which is JUST as important! It really is, so don't hesitate to do that.

This little one was rescued by these furtastic people after she was shot with buckshot and left on the side of the road! GRRRRR that makes me so mad. They are taking her to a specialist and seeing what can be done for her front legs. She may need them amputated but they don't know yet. Either way, she's got a great new home now and lots of love. We've already made friends with her, we know you'll all do the same. She's such a sweet little thing! Makes me so mad. A few days ago a doggy here in NH was shot with a pellet gun while sleeping in his dog house! It cleaned off the bone and darned near tore his leg off. He had to have it amputated after he almost died. Turns out it was the neighbor! Can't tell you how mad my mommy was. She was looking at the TV saying all kinds words I can't repeat here. But we were right there with her. When will this stop? Anyways, thanks for going to support our new little friend Miranda. She and her pawents will greatly appreciate it.

I hope you all had a good Valentine's day. I never used to care about that day at all b ... Aryeh spent the night dancing and pawtying at the Rainbow Bridge annual Valentine's Day ball. We danced and mingled with all of our furriends. Then we came down here and visited his momma, brofurs and his adorable little sis, Tiger Lilly Blossom. It was Aryeh's birfday on valentine's day so his momma was a little sad. But we did our best to make her feel better, my momma talked with her too and hopefully it helped. Then we came and said hi to Finney and Lacey and my momma. I wish momma could have seen me in my beautiful wings all decorated in pink glitter and hearts. I felt like a princess. But she can picture it in her mind and she's got it right so she didn't need to see me anyways. She knows I was there. Then we left the ball and came down here and sprinkled angel and fairy dust all over the sick kitties that needed it and even some of you that didn't! Tee hee (we're not telling). It was so much fun, we felt like Santa paws! Aryeh spent the daytime with his family and with his valentine Sky. She's been his valentine every year for awhile and she was nice enough to share him with me and let me go to the ball with him. THANK YOU SKY! I wanted to say thank you Aryeh for a very, very special night and for being such a good friend to all of us. He and his family are so pawsome! We just love them. Happy birfday again Aryeh! We love you! ]]> http://www.catster.com/cats/1127878/diary/An_angels_notes_for_the_day/711253 Sun, 13 Feb 2011 11:34:52 PST Alex (sweet angel girl) ~ writing at catster.com http://www.catster.com/cats/1127878/diary/An_angels_notes_for_the_day/711253 Hello all you furry beautiful kitties!

He's the ... Vern. He's the sweetest little boy and his pawents are hoping for a miracle. He's only 7 months old and has a systemic arterial embolism, along with severe anemia. He began dragging his back legs and lost control of his bowels and bladder and he is not expected to make it. We had his mom order some Methyl B12 for his neurological issues hoping it helps and she had it express mailed to her house. It was due today but we haven't heard anything. Yesterday his pupils were already dilated so we don't know what's going on and are hoping he's still there with them. He did say that when he's ready to go that he'd like me to escort him to the bridge and since I haven't heard anything, I'm hoping that's good news. Please purr hard for him, he's just a baby! This is one of those kitties that's tugged on our heartstrings super hard. Thanks everyone. We love you and your powers of purrs and paws.

He's either coming on Monda ... Buddha, is already coming to join me at the bridge. He's either coming on Monday or sooner, we're not sure yet. We've only just met him but he's a special and beautiful boy. He's suffering so much and his momma has made the heart wrenching decision to let him come with me and be happy and healthy again. Buddha's momma, if you read this...please know that I visit my momma all the time and she KNOWS it. She feels me, she can see me sometimes. I even play with Finney and Lacey! It's not the same as when she was able to hold me in her arms and kiss my head and make me forget the pain I was in. But it's all we've got and we'll never give it up. So rest assured that when Buddha has had a little while to recuperate, I'll teach him how to visit you if you'd like that. It's not hard at all and I know that it's helped my momma a lot when I do that. My momma went through a horrible depression after losing me. She made herself physically sick and had to be on antibiotics for 4 months! Her doctor finally told her she had to start living again and that he understood the love between a pet and their parent. After that she started taking care of herself again and knew I wouldn't want her to suffer like me. So please take good care of yourself and let people love you and comfort you okay? These folks and kitties here on Catster are the best at it that my momma's ever met. We wish we'd known all these wonderful people when I was sick and passed away. Maybe she wouldn't have gone through all of that. But she's here now and wants to help you! She's got big shoulders and an even bigger heart so remember that if you ever need her. All my furriends please visit Buddha's diary and help him and his momma get through this. You're all so good at wrapping your paws and wings around kitties and their families. This family can use as many of you as possible. Please purr and say purayers for them. Thanks everyone!

Today, quite unexpectedly, I took Ted ... Teddy McLovin home to the bridge with me. Teddy and BK are well loved little guys here on Catster as they and their momma help kitties with all the need to learn about raw food and how it helped them so much. This week for whatever reason, Teddy stopped eating and started to go downhill very quickly. We all thought he had an infection of some kind and never dreamed it would be so serious. By Friday, the vet's conclusion was that it was most likely FIP from having such a weakened immune system. Today Teddy was in horrible shape and his momma couldn't let him suffer any longer. She went with him and Teddy passed away in her arms. I was there with him, holding his paw, waiting for him to close his eyes there and open them back up again with me. He took one last look at his momma, shed a tear and waved to her. I took him to my part of the field and he's resting comfortably. I've told him that when he feels up to it, he can visit his momma anytime he likes. It made him smile a big bright smile as he was very scared he'd never see her again. I explained the whole dynamics to him and he understands now that once he's rested, he'll be as good as new and will be able to fly wherever he wants. He thought that was pretty neat and can't wait to try it. Teddy is a very special little boy who's had a hard life before he found his mom. She was his angel here on earth and now he's going to be her's. Please join me in wrapping our paws around Teddy's momma and giving her the support she so desperately needs right now. I know all of you Catster pawents are so good at that! Such a loving family. I must run now, unfortunately I have others I'm going to need to pay a visit to soon. But for now, I'd like to reassure you that Teddy is doing splendidly here and is even getting visits from some of the other Catster members who've recently gone to the bridge. Remember, the veil between our worlds is very thin and we are souls with bodies, not bodies with souls. We will all be together again.
