    Prayers for Peanut.....(pic & vid added #41)

    ......one last time.

    First of all I must apologize again for not being around much. I can see there are some important threads I need to respond to, but for now....

    The mobile vet is scheduled to come out tomorrow. :-(

    Peanut is straining more and more as she pees, and nothing is making it better anymore. She is also straining significantly to poop and I know it hurts her. Along with that, we know her one remaining functioning kidney is getting worse because even with the fluids she is becoming more and more lethargic. And finally the topper, she has gone blind. I could tell her eyes were getting worse, but just two days ago I noticed it was really bad and yesterday she started bumping into walls and walking around in circles like she was lost. We're afraid she's going to fall and hurt herself since she is so frail to begin with. I haven't weighed her lately, but she has to be down to about 4 1/2 lbs. She is a frail tiny little old lady.

    Now that she can't see at all, she either sits in a lump on the rug on the floor, or wants to be on one of our laps. Even a week ago she was perky, happy and interested in what's going on around her - i.e. sitting and sniffing when the front door was open, etc. Now all she does is sit in a lump on the little rug on the floor. It's as if when she's there she knows where she's at and she doesn't want to move. The only thing she perks up for is food - silly little girl - which makes us question our decision, but we know in our hearts it's time to let her go.

    So, please send prayers and good thoughts for her that her last hours are relatively pain free and she makes a peaceful crossing to the RB.

    Oh no, I hate to hear this. Many prayers for Peanut and her meowmie. I'm sure Tubby is there with her, helping her through the fear she must be experiencing.

    Oh Debbie I hate to read this. You all will be in my thoughts and I pray for a painless journey for our little Peanut. Please give her a kiss and hug for me and tell we all love her!

    Oh gosh, I'm so sorry to read this news, but am glad you can help her along to the RB in her own comfortable home. Prayers and good thoughts for dear Peanut and for you! I'm sure Tubby will be there to help Peanut across the bridge when the time comes.

    I've been afraid for a few days that something had happened. Peanuts couldn't have had a better life nor a more loving guardian. I'm sure she will slip away very peacefully, only aware that you are still there with her. I am deeply sorry for the pain you are and will experience.

    Debbie, I'm so sorry to hear that Peanut is failing. I know what you are going through ((((HUGS)))) and special prayers being sent to you immediately. Spend every last second with Peanut and keep in mind all the special times you have spent with her. I know you know that you are doing the right thing but it does not make it any easier.

    A safe and peaceful trip to the Bridge Miss Peanut. You will be greatly missed.

  13. Oh Debbie...I am so sorry for you. But do you know what struck me when I read this? Cats normally hide when they are sick. Peanut loves you so much and finds such comfort in the presence of you and Terry that she prefers to be in your presence or on you lap.

    Godspeed Peanut!

    Debbie, I don't log on much anymore either but when I read the title, my heart just stopped. Now that I've read her plight, my eyes are filled with tears and there's major LES going on here. Thank goodness I have an office door to close.

    I know just how you feel because I watched Speckles fade away even as I gave her fluids. It's so hard to know what to say to you. Just know that you are all in my thoughts and prayers. Enjoy the "little snot" (as you once put it) for as many days as she has left and please tell her that Auntie Slick loves her very much.

    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand and strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming WOO HOO - What a Ride!
