    I'm Really Worried About Mama Kitty

    My Mama Kitty is not feeling well at all. Won't eat her canned food.
    She usually loves her food. She also has cat chow kibble available, but
    I haven't seen her touch it. If there is no change by tomorrow, I'll have
    to take her to the Vet. Please say a few prayers that this is not something
    seriously wrong. I'm not really for her to leave me.


    Mama Kitty is a tortie female (long haired) cat that has been with
    me for over ten years. She was a cat I used to see hanging around
    the back alley & I started to leave food for her. When I saw her babies,
    One thing led to another & I adopted her & found homes for her babies.
    (except for two which I brought into the house)

    Lizbud,

    She's beautiful!! Maybe her tummy is just hurting her. I think a trip to the vet is in order, if for nothing else, to rule out anything serious.

    Great job, girl!

    Prayers that it is just teeth or tummy. She is such a beautiful girl.

    My, she looks like a combination of my RB Puddy and RB Pidgie. I do hope that it's nothing serious w/Mama Kitty and that she's back to normal very soon.
    Blessings,

    Thank you for prayers & positive thoughts for Mama. I love her a lot.
    We have been through a lot together. Don't know if this is abnormal
    or not, but I can see her sides contract every time she breaths.
    Almost like she forces herself to breath.

    She did eat some Whiska treats this morning, but just a few.

    I think a vet journey is in order. It's not impossible it is teeth.
    Mama seems to be a lady in her best age and it happens to the best of us.
    All the best for her.

    I'm concerned about the breathing. Please get her to the vet.

    The breathing thing seems serious, Liz. I would probably not risk another day.

    I made an appt for 3:45pm today. Now comes the hard part, getting
    her to go in the carrier. I tried this morning, but no luck. She won't even
    take a treat of her favorite. (Whiskas) I hate to stress her out even more
    than she already is. I have a can of tuna & I'm going to try my best
    to lure her again with that.

    I'm so sorry to hear that she's not feeling well. I hope that the vet visit will go well and that it's nothing serious and can be easily treated. I'll keep her in my thoughts and prayers. Good luck with getting her into the cat carrier too.

    I dread that with one of my cats. Any chance you have a large dog crate? One small enough to transport/carry, but big enough to get her in there easier?

    A beach towel is helpful, too. Sorry, sorry, sorry...I know it won't be easy.

    Oh Liz, I'm so sorry to hear that your Mama Kitty isn't feeling well. I hope it's nothing serious and I hope you'll be able to get her into the box. Uhh, I know how difficult that can be.

    The breathing problem doesn't sound good at all - could it be her lungs?

    I'll send lots of good thoughts that the vet will be able to help and she can get back to normal.

    ((((hugs))))
