Yodee

[slick]

Yodee has been peeing on her bed in front of the fireplace as well as on the couch and the litterbox. Took her in today for blood tests and her kidneys are 80% gone. She's going in for IV therapy for a couple of days to help her feel better.

I'm just going to make her as comfortable as possible for as long as I have her.:(:love:

[Karen]

Awww, give her a kiss on top of that soft grey head for me! You have given her more love in the time she's been with you than some kitties get in their whole lives!

[cassiesmom]

Big prayers for precious Yodee :love: :love:

We are all saying prayers for our Dear Friend Yodee.
It s such a sad day when we realize that our Cat companions may not be there one day, as Cleveland Amory once wrote it is like being hit in the stomach.
We are so sorry about Yodee , and we know that our Awesome Angels will be there to comfort him.
:love::love:

Prayers and warm energies and loads of love for dearest, precious Yodee and for you too, Slick. Please give her some gentle pets for me.

[smokey the elder]

Aw, poor precious Yodee. Kidney failure is the pits.

[Randi]

Oh Slick, I'm sorry to hear this. :( I hope the IV therapy will help her feel better - and I know you will make her as comfortable as you can. How lucky she is to be with you.

Please give her some kisses for me. :love:

[katladyd]

I truly hope that continued therapy can keep Yodee around for quite awhile longer. It is hard to realize your "senior kitizens" are starting to show wear and tear. Give Yodee some kisses from me.:love::love:

[momoffuzzyfaces]

Aw, Slick, I am so sorry to hear this. I know how hard this is. She has had a wonderful life with you and out of the shelter. Please give her a gentle hug from me. Prayers for you both my friend. :love:

[slick]

thanks everyone. When I dropped her off this morning my vet met with me to say that her blood tests revealed that she was really anemic as well. I fear that she won't be with me come the end of the summer.....then again, miracles do happen. :( Last July she as 6.7 lbs and today she was 5.5.

[Catty1]

{{{hugs}}} :love: Please give that dear girl some lovies for me.

[phesina]

Love and gentle kisses to dearest Yodee.

I'm sorry to learn this, Slick.

I've had 4 cats go with renal failure. The first, Mr. Amber Cat, aka Amber, I did the IV at home. In 6 months we went from 3 times per week to 3 times per day. When it came to him needing it 4 times a day, I called a halt. I have never gone that route again, it just wasn't fair to the cat, IMO.

And if you do the IV fluids, expect the cat to be peeing everywhere; that goes with the treatment. Most cats know they should not be going here, there and everywhere, so this also stresses the cat.

Just my experience.

Prayers for Yodee.

[momcat]

Oh Slick, words can't begin to tell you how sorry I am to hear the news about Yodee. I'm praying for that miracle. Please give her some gentle lovies from me. :love:

[slick]

Thanks everyone. We are in palliative care mode at the moment although she is anxious to eat in the evening - not so much in the morning. She continues to pee on the pee pads and in her basket that used to be her favourite sleeping spot. We take one day at a time. No more catmobile trips for her but I'm glad she had that one.

All scritches and kisses delivered. :love::love::love:

[Catty1]

Would you deliver some more lovies and scritchies from me? :love: Prayers for Yodee. :love:

[Barbara]

I am so sorry. You know I went through all of this with Filou who also lost that much of weight. In the last months he could eat whatever he wanted and he ate an unhealthy diet of goose lard ( very little), egg yolk and fresh chicken fillet ( I always cut it up in small portions like 50 g and froze it)- but all those things he ate with appetite.
I send all my best thoughts to you and Yodee.

[cassiesmom]

Continued prayers for Yodee and meowmie. Sending more gentle scritches and lovies :love: :love:

Keeping sweetheart Yodee and you in my heart and prayers. Much love coming from across the pond.

[momcat]

Hi Yodee,
I'm so very sorry to hear that you don't feel too good and won't be able to join in on anymore Catmobile trips. I'm very happy that I got to meet you and we had so much fun together. Sending you lots of feel better purrs and headbumpies. My Meowmie is still praying for that meerakle.

Your bud,
Amigo

[Cataholic]

I am sorry to hear that Yodee has deteriorated. May whatever time Yodee has left be as comfortable as possible.

[momoffuzzyfaces]

Yodee, more prayers and lovies are on the way from me too for you and your meowmie. :love::love:

[Catty1]

Oh, Vickie. :( {{{hugs}}} :love:

[momcat]

Tuesday, March 18th - 11am. :(:(:(

O Slick, tears are burning my eyes as I read your post. Because of you, sweet Yodee knew what it means to be loved and cared for. There's no doubt that Groucho and the other RB PT kitty angels will all be on hand to welcome her to the Bridge. A very special prayer will be offered for Yodee on Tuesday. [[[[[HUGS]]]]] are being sent to you.

[phesina]

{{{HUGS}}} to you, dear Vickie, and gentle pets for dear Yodee, and heartfelt prayers for you both. You two have shared the most precious love and always will.

:love::love::love::love::love::love::love::love: from Pat (and cats)

[Grace]

I'm so sorry :(

[mbsmum]

I am very sorry:(

[Karen]

Tuesday, March 18th - 11am. :(:(:(

We love you, and will be praying for you both at that time. Yodee has enjoyed so much love in the time she has been with you, that I know she will remember the good times with you above all.

[dehlers43]

Hugs from Franklin, Chelsea and me.....

[ChrisH]

:( So, so, sorry.

[Pinot's Mom]

Lots of hugs and prayers for you both. :love:

[Randi]

Dear Vickie, I'm so very sorry. :( I hope Yodee's passing will be peaceful. She was lucky to spend her last years with you.

I send big hugs and comfort to you both. :love: :love:

[momoffuzzyfaces]

Slick, my heart breaks for you. I had to make that choice for my Grandma kitty in November. It's never easy even when you know it's the right thing. I'm sure Grandma will happily show her around the Bridge along with all our dear pets plus Gini and Phred. She will leave your arms and step into theirs. You gave her so much love in the last years of her life and got her out of that shelter. She won't forget that or how much she loves you.
Prayers for you both. :love::love:

[Taz_Zoee]

I haven't checked in on this thread in a while, but for some reason I did today. :(
I am so sorry that you have to say goodbye to Yodee. I don't even know what else to say.
Hugs!

[catmandu]

We are so sorry that Yodee has gone on.
But sadly that is the way of the world as it says in the Bible, a time to be born and a time to pass on.
I know that Yodee's fellow Canadian Cats will welcome Yodee to all our meals and to the Found Cat Hotel.
Yodee will be as one with Max and Spreckles Angels and will all be waiting to meet you again in love.
One Fine Day:love:

[Barbara]

Oh I know how horrible it is when the day is fixed. of course Filou's last day was better than any day he had had within two weeks. But so I know that I let him go beore it became really terrible for him. With a renal failure kitty unfortunately there is no chance of it getting really better.
i think of you and Yodee, Vickie....

[RICHARD]

Slick - I am really sorry to hear that, but you need to know that you are a saint for being such a kind soul. Don't be bummed, you should smile and be proud of opening your home to the Yodster.....

Prayers sent.

[katladyd]

I iwsh I had the right words to say that would make this easier for you, but I don't. Just know that you are a very Special Angel for taking in these lovely senior kitizens and giving them the chance to live in a loving home in their twilight years. I just know that Max and Merlin will greet her and spend time with her trading Slick stories about how good you were to them. Love and hugs to you and Yodee. :love:

[mrspunkysmom]

Slick, I'm so sorry. Hugs for you and Yodee. :love:

[smokey the elder]

I'm so sorry. Thank you so much for giving a senior kitty a loving home for her last days.

[momoffuzzyfaces]

Lots of prayers and love will be going with you and Yodee tomorrow morning. :love::love:

[lizbud]

I am so sorry that things couldn't be different for Yodee. You gave her love & kindness and that
gift is never in vain. (((Hugs))) for you both.:love:

[cassiesmom]

Tuesday, March 18th - 11am. :(:(:(

(((HUGS)))) Slick and Yodee. :( :( :love:

[Catty1]

Please put some kisses on that lovely lilac forehead for me. I am sending thoughts and prayers to surround you both as long as wanted and needed. :love:

[ChrisH]

Keeping Yodee and you in my heart and thoughts this sad day.{{ hug}}

[RedHedd]

Hugs to you as you help Yodee across the Bridge. I know it's hard, but you're doing the right thing. Play hard at the RB, sweet Yodee

[Karen]

We love you and are here for you, Slick. Yodee, girl, you go find Uncle Mac up there - he has a special spot in his heart for girl kitties - he used to share his supper with the calico perched on his shoulder, alternating a fork for himself, then one for the kitty ...
