My Kitty :(

[goodgirl]

please pray for my cat... I am SO attached to her and she was sick last week but then seemed to get better. Now I find blood in the kitty litter box. I have 2 cats but I just bet it's the one who was sick.

She's 14... never been sick before, since I got her 7 yrs. ago. I will be if she dies!

i'mm sorry about your cat. hope she's okay.

Wow, 14 eh? Sounds like she's lived a loooong full life. I hope that she will be ok...but if something happens, you will see her in heaven.

goodgirl, you poor wee thing, i hope with all my heart your precious kitty is ok. Please post and let me know. (Cats can sometimes loose teeth at her age and you would never know as they usually bury teeth etc.) I know that sounds pathetiq but it happens, please let me know if shes / you are ok?

OK, GG; how is that kitty?? Was it a Urinary Tract Infection? I thought 14 was pretty old for a kitty, too, until I met a cat that was like 22, and then one that was 24, in the same week! Sheesh. I'm not sure I would want to make my kittys live that long, if they get SOOOO tired and sickly....

My grandpas cat was in great health until about the time he became 21 years old. By his 22nd year he wasnt doing real well, and just before his 23rd year we had him put down - not because his *body* was failing, but because he had developed skin cancer that was pretty serious.

I hope your cat's ok too

THANKS guys!! It is so nice to know anybody cares!

The kitty went to the vet, who is very wonderful but was stumped. The blood only showed up 2 times, both in the morning and then after that was normal. It seems to be blood from the lower intestinal tract, not the stomach or anything, which is good.

The best guess is that she may have eaten some of the plants I brought in from the cold, and just irritated her bowels. So I am instructed to keep eyes on her and if it happens again, $200 of bloodwork and possibly an xray... as this kind of thing can also indicate early cancer. But she's been fine since Monday.

My friend's kitty lived to 21 so I hope mine does too!

I had a cat that lived to 14, we had to put him down because of a very vicious mouth cancer. My other cat is still around, she is 18 years old, she has Hyper thyroid. I pray that your cat lives a long and healthy life.

Wow! With all these long lived cats, I just figured - if my 2 year old cat lives 18 more years, I'll be 47.

My first cat lived 19 years. I stood up my husband for our first date to get her She helped me raise my first baby. She comforted me when my husband died. And when her kidneys failed, I put her to sleep and buried her by my husband's headstone.

Does anyone know, are cat years the same as dog years? Just wondering. I have two kitties...both 7 months. I hope they live a nice long life
