    Prayers for dear Ming and for you too.

    Thank you all for your kind replies. So far, Ming has been successfully recathed and is doing as fine as he can be doing, considering the situation. I need no money at this point, but if it is for Ming's life, I will not be afraid to ask. But so far, monetary help is not necessary. Your kind thoughts and prayers are still appreciated, though. I am also praying for little Jack, and the husband of a friend on another message board, he was recently diagnosed with cancer. God must be very busy this week!

    Again, thanks so much!
    Proud to be a crazy cat lady!

    I've heard that sometimes cats develop scar tissue when they've been catheterized a number of times and this can then cause them to become blocked. Hopefully this isn't the case with Ming. Lots more prayers and positive thoughts are being sent to both you and Ming.

    How well I know that, KAK! That is why I was so worried about the extra cathing. Ming's usual vet wasn't in and I got Mr. Grumpy vet who has a very cold and matter-of-fact manner. He told me that there was a good chance they wouldn't be able to recath him because of that. He recathed fine, however. A reblockage is not unusual for Ming. He usually has to be recathed at least once before all the crystals are completely gone. That is why when I went to pick him up today I asked if he had peed on his own. They told me that they thought they has smelled urine in his litter box so they decided to release him (wtf?) Well, just before they were bringing him out, he reblocked. I could have told them this, but I'm not the vet, am I? I will be so glad to talk to Ming's regular whitecoat tomorrow. She is super!
