Major PT Prayers for Sekeetha please! UPDATE #10

[Catty1]

At the boarding kennel where I work, we have an 18-year-old orange boy named Sekeetha. (se-KEE-t'ha). His mom went in for hip replacement surgery and he is supposed to be with us for 6 weeks total.

Sekeetha's kitty buddie died three weeks before he came to us. He is a lovely kitty, likes being held - but his eating is erratic, we are sure he has mouth pain (his owner confirmed this when we called her, as in "the vet said he would/might have pain [don't get me started! :mad:]), and he howls a lot - loneliness, pain and even hunger, though he has been getting some food down.

The owner's daughter was going to take him to the vet next week. But after last night, with another big puke from poor Sekeetha, he is going to the vet at 3:20 this afternoon.

At 18, I don't know about anesthetic to pull a bad tooth. I am hoping he can get a shot of painkiller and antibiotics so he can at least be more comfortable.

His owner did sign a waiver that he was in bad health, had no shots, and that the boarding place was not liable - that we would do the best we could.

I am praying and asking for PT prayers that Sekeetha can continue on and not go to the Bridge today. :( He is the sweetest boy, :love: and is just lonely and in pain, and hard of hearing.

Thank you all.

I know that Michael Angel and All Of Our Porch Orangie Angels are getting some snacks from Hawaii for Sakeetha :love: and All Of Us of the Found Cat Hotel whether we are on Earth or are in Heaven send prayers to Dear Sakeetha that he can recover and live his Golden Yeras out without pain.
He is such a Golden Orangie:love::love::love:

My boss called me about something else about an hour ago, and told me that the owner has lots of money and is more than willing to spend it on her cat. Perhaps with all her own busyness getting ready for her own surgery, she didn't realize what bad shape Sekeetha was in.

If he's lonely? Heck, I'll get one of those corduroy snugglies and walk around with him all day, without pay! :D

It's about 5 pm and I haven't heard anything yet. THANK YOU for your prayers! :love::love::love:

[Medusa]

We'll keep praying for him, Candace. I've been praying ever since I read your post on FB.

Irene (my boss and longtime friend) called about 15 minutes ago.

Poor Sekeetha has a tumour in his stomach; has always had a heart murmur, and his heart rate is 220. :(

He is spending a last night at home with his human family, and tomorrow will join his kitty friend at the Bridge.

I am glad he will be at home with love; poor Irene was starting to cry and had to get off the phone.

Thank you for all your prayers; I am adding prayers for a peaceful passing for this dear boy. I am thankful I gave him extra hugs and talks the other day, telling him he was always surrounded by love. :love:

[Queen of Poop]

Have a lovely, safe, warm last night with your family Skeetha, know that you are loved. Safe trip to the Bridge tomorrow sweetheart, your friend awaits. :(

[Catty1]

Thank you, Gayle. :love:

[krazyaboutkatz]

I'm so sorry to hear this:( but now he'll be free of pain and with his kitty buddy again. RIP sweet Sekeetha.:(

[Pinot's Mom]

I'm sorry, I just saw this thread. :(

Play at the Bridge, Sekeetha, go join all your buddies and be well. Love goes with you.:love:

[Anikaca77]

I'm so sorry.

RIP.

More prayers for you, Sekeetha, for a happy, warm, loving night with your family and then a peaceful trip to the Bridge and reunion with your buddy.

I spoke again with Irene this morning, and apparently Sekeetha was 26 years old! His late cat buddy was close to the same age when he passed.

The tumour was about 4" - the vet showed Irene where it was. No wonder the poor guy couldn't eat a lot! I had cooked up some elk burger and rice, and Sekeetha was getting a few small feedings a day; the rest went home with the owner's daughter (who was crying and wailing...I know Irene would have kept it together for her, but she is still really sensitive today).

The vet is going to their house today. He will be at his comfy home, with those who love him.

Thanks again.

Just too sad. Poor cat. I'm crying. I must keep in mind that he will not be in pain anymore. Kay

[Catty1]

Kay - it IS sad...but given that he and his cat buddy lived well into their 20s, it seems clear that they were very loved and given the very best of care. :love:

When I carried him around the other day I talked to him quietly and sent him mental pictures (I tried - they say a cat can understand that) to tell him to remember hugs and that he was always surrounded by love.:)

Irene said it was strange - one or more cats will always start calling during the night. But after Sekeetha's owner's daughter came and got him, the rest of the cats were still...all night.

Godspeed to the Bridge, Sekeetha.:love:

Godspeed, Sekeetha, blessed with a long life full of love.
