Scooterbug - update #31

[Scooter's Mom]

I just thought I'd say that he's holding his own this week. He's been drinking and eating some and happily purrs when we snuggle.

He's not acting like he is hurting in any way... I am so relieved. I just want this reprieve to last and for him to get strong again.

I will keep everyone updated.

Thoughts and prayers going out to you and to Scooter Bug.

HUGS to you, Crystal.

[Medusa]

Let's keep the momentum going, Scooterbug! :D

[krazyaboutkatz]

Thanks for keeping us updated. I hope he'll continue to improve.:) Lots more prayers and positive thoughts are being sent his way.

[Catty1]

Prayers for the good to continue and build...for Scooterbug to pull through and be your snuggle kitty for a long time yet.:love::)

[Pinot's Mom]

Prayers and hugs for you both from here, too...:love:

[Taz_Zoee]

This is nice to hear. I hope he will continue on this path and even improve.

[Scooter's Mom]

Thanks ya'll.
I'm really just trying to keep him comfy and happy.

He's got a beautiful soul, so it's not hard to keep him happy...

[Scooter's Mom]

he's still a snuggle bug...

When he gets up like that and purrs, it sure makes my heart happy.

[Catty1]

awwww.....reminds me of my tabby Oscar....he is my snuggle baby. :love::love::love:

Glad he is happy and holding his own.

[Taz_Zoee]

It must be a Tabby thing. Taz used to always snuggle too. He'd jump up in the chair with me while I was eating dinner just so he could be close to me. Or he'd sit behind me on the seat of the chair (I'd scoot forward just for him).

I'm so glad you are enjoying all the snuggles from your baby boy. :)

[katladyd]

I agree, it must be a tabby thing. My orange tabby, Mac, is a big snuggler and my Siamese, Ming, just loves to lay next to you or follow you around. Mac will cuddle up and purr and purr. I am sending prayers that Scooterbug gets better and better!:love:

[catmandu]

Thats great news that Scooter Bug has rallied so well.:love::love:
My Michael who was losing weught and interest before his last operation is starting to rally too.:love::love:
One thing that works wonders with Michael is take out Chicken from the Deli and Fancy Feast Pates'.:cool::cool::cool:
WE ALL are praying for Scooter Bug, especially The Senior Kittyzens Michael , Joseph and Princess.
:love::love::love:

Oh he's so sweet snuggling with you. Enjoy these happy times :)

[Scooter's Mom]

I have found that he REALLY likes the Beech Nut, stage 1 baby food that is just meat & broth... Chicken & Chicken Broth is his favorite! He's eating a jar a day of it.

I know he isn't going to fully recover and be "well" again, but he's comfy and seems happy and that's all I can hope for.

I :love: my boy so much.

[Catty1]

Scooter Bug is just darling...that Tabby sweetness and love!

And he is eating more! I guess you still don't know what he is recovering from - I don't recall if there was an actual illness - but with his feeling comfy and happy and eating, he may trudge along for a while yet.

Your love makes every bit of difference, I am sure of that! :love::)

[krazyaboutkatz]

I'm glad that you found something that he loves to eat.:) My Storm also seemed to like the Gerber Graduates Turkey sticks which look like mini hotdogs. I'd cut them and then mash them up for him. I hope he'll continue to do well and be with you for quite a while yet. More prayers and positive thoughts are being sent his way.

[Medusa]

Aw what a snuggle bug. I do hope that he has as much pleasure and comfort as possible for both your sakes. :love:

[CultureJunky]

I am thinking of you and scooter bug :love:

[cassiesmom]

Scooter Bug, I am so glad you are purring to meowmie and eating! Keep getting better!

Still sending many prayers for you, sweet Scooterbug :love:

[Scooter's Mom]

Thanks everyone! My sweet boy is still holding his own.

[katladyd]

I will keep the prayers and good thoughts coming for your Scooterbug!:love:

[Catty1]

Crystal, I hope he keeps holding his own for quite a while. :):love::love:

Has he ventured to nibble any of his old food while still eating the baby food?

hugs!

He's not so fond of the dry food these days. I did find him eating a couple pieces of the dry dog food today.

Praying that he makes it awhile longer and doesn't seem unhappy or hurting... he is so sweet and we snuggle so much. I just love him more than anything.

[momcat]

Still sending prayers out for your adorable Scooterbug. How is your Snuggleupagus doing today? If he's up to it, please give him lots of lovies for me?

He's still a lovebug. He doesn't jump or climb anymore, so I had to improvise a new litterbox that is very low to the ground for him. (hah, we won't use THAT cake pan again!) I have been mixing some water in with his canned food and mushing it good so I can get him to eat it more.

Right now he is munching on some dry food, actually! I wish I could help him get stronger... all I can do is pray and hope he can regain strength by eating more.

I will return to work next week (Monday 1/25) and am scared to leave him alone for the 11-12 hrs a day we're going to be gone. I am so grateful I've had 4 months at home with him though. (even if it was b/c of my own health issues, which aren't better but I must return to work or we're going to be in very bad shape)

Thank you all so much for the prayers and thoughts.

[Scooter's Mom]

Scooter Bug has an appointment at 10:45. I don't think they're going to be able to do anything for him... so that's probably the end of the line.

I do not know if I will have the ability to check in later or not. My heart hurts so much.

[Pinot's Mom]

{{{{hugs}}}}

[Medusa]

I'm really sorry. So many of our furbabies are sick or have gone to the Bridge. We'll send up prayers for Scooterbug and you right now. Keep the faythe. (((HUGS))) :love:

[pomtzu]

Prayers for both you and Scooterbug going across the miles today.

And Mary is so right - way too many sad PT stories here lately - so more prayers going out to all the PT pets in need of them - and their hoomans too.

[Barbara]

Sending my best thoughts to you and Scooterbug.

[Catty1]

Aw, NO - I thought he was holding his own, not brilliant, but happy and comfy. :(

Hugs and prayers to you and Scooterbug. Many times over. :love::love::love:
(Will pray for a miracle too, God willing.)

[phesina]

I am so sorry. Love to you and Scooterbug.

[Scooter's Mom]

Their thought in early December that there was a mass/tumor on his liver was right. It had grown... and he was starting to jaundice.

I am completely lost.

Farewell my heart kitty. I will never love another like I do you.

Please, don't reply here. I put a thread up in the section i hoped I never would have to... May my sweet boy forgive me.
