RH, how is Mishi today?
He's not doing too good. I had to pick up some fluids at the vet's yesterday and discussed the timing of his last sleep. It's not scheduled; but they gave me a plan for when the time comes.
He had a very rough day yesterday. I had to syringe feed him some baby food as he wouldn't even touch the Fancy Feast on his own. He slept in the cat carrier last night, which always scares me. He crawls in there to hide when he's feeling really punky. But then he came and snuggled next to me a bit around 3:00 a.m. and stayed until getting up time.
This morning he ate a bit, but it's clear he's not doing well. I don't want him to suffer. I just pray that his passing will be peaceful. :(
LES....... :(
RH: You will know when it's time. Mishi will tell you when you look into his eyes.
{{{hugs}}} I wish I could be there to support you through this..... :(
Oh Georgia :( You are doing all you can and he is well aware of how much you love him. He would no longer have you suffer than you would him. Try to stay strong but know there are many shoulders to lean on when you need us.
thinking of you today, RH - I hope Mishi rallies again... come on boybee, it's not time to cross the bridge yet...
Tears running down my face as I read this.... C'mon Mishi, it's too soon to go to the bridge buddy. Hang in there sweetie, your meowmie needs you and you need her. Hugs and kisses from me and my gang.
Mishi will let you know...Just love him, he knows you are doing the best you can for him. Prayers and hugs for you both!!
Georgia, I'm so sorry to hear this about Mishi.:( Like others have said, he'll let you know when it's time. Until then just take it one day at time and shower him with love and kisses. You'll both continue to be in my thoughts and prayers. Please take care.(((HUGS)))
:( I am so sorry. Nothing I can say will make it better. So please just know you are in my thoughts.
{{{{hugs}}}}
Mishi baby...do you have some perky days left in you? Your mom would love to see them! :)
Georgia, just remember how many people are with you...you are not alone. We're here for you and your furbaby.
RH, how's the boybee today?
He's had a few good days. Last Thursday or Wednesday he was SO low, I gave him some of his pain meds that I had left over from one of his previous episodes. This stuff is STRONG! My poor boybee had saucer-sized eye balls and was SO stoned, but I think it was exactly what he needed - a night free of any pain. I don't know if he had been in pain, but he had looked miserable.
The next day I had a much happier kitty and he has remained pretty chipper, eating on his own, although he still won't touch the X/D. I'm just happy he's eating! He knocked over my glass several times trying to get a drink - his head is way too big to fit into a glass, but he keeps trying :rolleyes: the silly goon!
He seems a bit down today, but that's probably because it's been warm. In his current state, he doesn't like heat too much.
Mishi, the Clan Cats are on your side about the heat!!! You take care and keep cool! Hugs to you and your Mom...
Hello, Mishi sweet ... how are you? How are your Mom and Mitzi? hughughughug
:( I'm afraid the end is very near. Mishi is nothing but fur and bones and barely moves from the bed except to eat a little. I have a glass of water for him on the nightstand which he loves. Now he doesn't have to try and squeeze his head into MY glass and make a mess.
I had to move his litterbox into the bedroom because he had started peeing on the bed; now he's using the litterbox again, but it's obvious that I'll have to take him for his last sleep probably sometime this week. He's so frail and I can tell he's not enjoying life.
He and I have "talked" and he knows it's okay for him to leave. I'm sad to lose my golden buddy and feel privileged to have had the honor of being his guardian for the past four years.
Georgia, I'm so sorry to hear this.:( I know how much he means to you and I'm sure that he loves you as much as you love him. I hope that you can make him as comfortable as possible in the time that you have left together. Please give him some kisses and scritches for me. If you need to talk I'm only a phone call or pm a way. Please take care. (((HUGS)))
Oh, I'm so sorry to hear this. Gentle hugs to you both and know that we're here for you.
Sad news. :(
Oh Georgia, you may feel very alone right now, you and Mishi.. but please know somewhere inside that you are not. Ever.
There are no words. My prayers are with you and Mishi both.
{{{{{{hugs}}}}}}
MORE HUGHUGHUGHUGS ... thinking of you
Many hugs coming to you and your preciouos Mishi.
Well, it won't be today. I don't know if I should be mad at the vet's office or not - they said they're too busy today and closed tomorrow; did I want to make an appointment for Thursday? :rolleyes: That was such a hard phone call to make, you would think they would be more sympathetic. I opted not to make an appointment and we'll see how he's doing on Thursday. I suspect he will be ready.
Poor Mishi is laying on my pillow and I thought he was sweating, but I think perhaps he's grooming himself! It's been so long since he's groomed himself that I'm not used to feeling his fur so damp. His fur gets crimpy curly when it's damp - it's so cute.
A girlfriend reminded me that I did have pain meds for him, so I've given him a bit to make him more comfortable. So he'll be around to celebrate his sister's and America's birthday tomorrow. Thank you everyone for your kind words and prayers. I does help to make this a bit easier to bear.

My heart goes out to you, since I had to travel a similar road in January. You'll be in my thoughts. Please give Mishi a gentle hug from me, ok?
:( :( Major LES going on here right now. Georgia, I wish I could be with you at a time like this...then again, you're probably like me....wanting to spend his final moments alone with you. I don't know what else to say except {{{hugs}}} to you and please plant a kiss on Mishi's forehead for me. Tell him that I've spoken with Speckles and she will be right there to greet him when he crosses that bridge.
{{{gentle hugs}}}
You both are in my prayers.
I am so sorry to read this. Prayers and hugs for you both....
I am so sorry I missed all this while I was travelling.
Sending all my best wishes to you and Mishi, believe me I know quite well how you feel right now.
Thinking of you and Mishi today.
Just catching up with this. I am so sorry Georgia. :( I don't really know what else to say. {{{HUGS}}}
Thoughts and prayers for you and Mishi... I hope his crossing will be easy. Dear boy... know that Georgia adores you more than words or expressions can every convey. {{{{HUGS}}}} to you both.
My friend reminded me that I had pain meds for him, so I gave him a dose on Tuesday and Wednesday and he's bounced back - again. Yesterday he was pestering Mitzi so much that SHE got really P.O'd and was even hissing at ME to make him stop. It was kind of funny.
He's up and eating, peeing, pooping. Obviously he's not very active, but pestering Mitzi and grooming are very good signs. Last night I was reading on my bed and he was sleeping SO soundly on the pillow next to me that he was snoring - it was so cute. He hadn't slept that comfortably in a long time.
An Energizer Bunny too! :D Glad he is comfy and enjoying life. :)
Yay, Mishi! Keep ticking, sweet boy!
Georgia,I'm glad to hear that he's bounced back again.:) I hope that you'll be able to keep him as comfortable as possible. You both remain in my thoughts and prayers.
We Are So Glad To Hear That Our Old Friend Mishi Is Home Again Where Her Chances Of Recovery Are So Much Better, Being With Her Family And Companions.
The Found Cats Are Wishing Mishi Nothing But The Very Best.
Well, this is good news, I must say. Prayers going out that Mishi only gets better and better.
Mishi pestering Mitzi and sleeping really comfortably- that's good news :D
Oh Mishi, keep it up you are such a lucky kitty! You have lots of PT prayers.
