Oh Richard, that is too funny. We need some humor. Poor Andy.
Katie, I'm glad Andy was able to come back home with you last night. He has a wonderful, loving nurse caring for him. He will come through this just fine, it will just take a little time. Prayers continuing for him.
Mary
Katie, your posts are getting better and better. I pray that soon your sweetie will be as good as new. I am learning a lot of things, like quilted ears and button ears, that I never heard of before. Continued prayers for sweet Andy going up from NJ. :love:
Katie
I am amazed at how good he looks. I know he can beat this, and he will. He looks healthy and strong, should be able to make it just fine, as long as he has you there providing him with some good TLC. I have not been able to get you both off of my mind since Fri night, and I'm glad that each post gets more positive. Keep it up and send me a PM if you would like me to send you some $ to help you out. I will do what I can. :love:
Amy
Andy looks like such a little kitty in your photos? Is he on the small side?
(Realizing all things are relative...:D:D)
Yikes, Katie, what a truly horrific scare for you, and for Andy. I'm another who has been surprised at times when my cats have walked into places that I'd think would make them uncomfortable, such as the dishwasher, and so speedily. Like another poster, one of mine got in the fridge once. I saw something out of the corner of my eye as I closed the door, re-opened it thinking I was being paranoid, and there was a cat on a shelf.
I can see that Andy's ear is red and I'm glad he's on pain meds for the burn. I think he's going to be one of the lucky ones and pull through this - well, with luck and all your excellent care.
I have checked throughout the day, and am thrilled to hear more good news!!
Update! Sick of them yet?
Andy is doing well, and he ate another jar of baby food. Along with really smashed and pureed fancy feast, he REALLY liked that.;) His temp is at 103.6... not so bad I think. He is using the potty pan reguarly.
People have asked me for donation info. If you would like to donate, my paypal is [email protected]. If you want to mail a check, PM me. IF you want to speak to my vets office, just to confirm, please pm me as well, so I can give you contact information. ALSO, if anyone needs invoices, I can mail them directly to you, please leave in the PM your address, and I will try to get them mailed off next week. I thank everyone so much, and MORE importantly than donations, Andy needs prayers. I want him to better, and to put this whole terrible thing behind us. The guilt wont ever go away, BUT I can make it up to him.
I apprieciate all of the thoughts, prayers, and nice pms I have recieved. The support has been amazing, and I could not be more grateful! And also thank you so much for not making this a MORE difficult time by making me feel worse. That means so much. I needed support, not ridicule. You all gave that to me.:love:
My family (some who are NOT animal people) have even been calling regularly to check in on Andy. That poor fella has so many people who care about him, even people who have never met him. He would not believe it. He was just an abused throwaway stray, wanting a furrever home when I took him in. So were his 4 other brothers and sisters. He sure would feel special if he truly understood and could read these posts!
I will try to post a video a bit later, maybe of feeding time! Be back!:D
I'm sorry that I am not able to help financially but I am checking regularly and have Andy in my prayers! He is looking great!
Good thoughts and prayers from Naomi, Tilly and Nutmeg :)
Nomilynn, Your prayers mean more to us anyday. I could NOT be more blessed and grateful! DONT feel sorry, please!
Knowing other people care about Andy, its just, precious. We apprieciate it SO much.:love:
So good to know that Andy is back home again.. and he's eating, and his temperature is going down. He LOOKS so glad to be back where he belongs in those pictures!
More and more prayers, and good healing energies, and loads and loads of :love::love::love::love::love::love: from us,
Pat, Peony, Sydney, Poppy, Elmer, and Bob
I am heading to bed. Just wanted you to know that Andy was on my mind and in my prayers. Hugs to you and sweet Andy.
http://im1.shutterfly.com/media/47b8...D550/ry%3D400/That is bringing the Funnay from a bad situation.
Andy, Erp the Cat is pulling for you!!
I am glad to hear Andy eats- this is definitely a good sign.
I am sure he lost one life- but there are others left.
LOL Richard, so that is why he likes when I leave his room with only a night light on:p
Andy is doing well, eating a bit and pottying regularly. I leave different foods out to see if he will eat on his own (not yet, he tries but then winces and spits it out) He loves attention, and is being shockenly calm about the meds. He just hates the ecollar and the burn cream...
He is napping comfortably, and Here is a video I took of him tonight. Excuse his dirty nose, I forgot to wipe him down after dinner time.. I was rushing so I could get my other stuff done. Please excuse how bad I look as well... It has been a ROUGH (physically and emotionally) 4 days...

Thanks again for all of the well wishes! :love:
I love hearing good news, esp. about Andy! Yup, there is something about that Fancy Feast, cats really like it, kind of like Temptations. I'm so glad you've gotten him to eat more; that will really help him gain strength and heal faster.
Of course all the PT prayers can't hurt, either. Everyone here is pulling for Andy!!!
Get better, sweet boy. Tell your mamma to give you some special scritches from Archy, Binky and me...........:love::love::love::love:
Oh, Katie he looks really good. It looks like you can touch his ear or near it at least, and he doesn't seem to mind. That's good, I think.
He's such a sweet kitty, and it is obvious he loves you a lot.
Keep your chin up. He's going to pull through this. ((Hugs))
Crystal
Crystal, he does look good, doesnt he:D I am so proud of him!
I can touch the outside of the ear, without pain, as long as I dont apply pressure. The inside, understandably, is more sensitive, and I HATE putting the meds in, because he squirms, and I know it must be sore.
I truly believe he will make it through this, he is a very strong boy, and awfully determined to be "normal" again.
----------------
What I find funny is that all of the other kitties and dogs alike want to be his best friend now.. Because he gets ALL of the GREAT food. Served to him in bed and heated.. He doesnt have to chew or even get up, it goes directly to his mouth.. My kitties are WAY jealous.
They stick their little paws under the door, cry at the door, and sniff under the door as well. They want HIS goodies:D:p;)
OH my, Katie!! He looks wonderful!! I am so glad to hear he is eating and to see how much he is responding to you and your love. I KNOW he is going to get through this. :D
(btw- I love your cute voice :p)
Katie, he looks AMAZING!! You are taking such good care of him. I am so glad he is doing well. He seems really happy and TOTALLY in love with you!! Keep up the great work....he will remain in our prayers.
I just got up and of course the first thing I did was check in on PT to see how Andy and Barney are doing. What a day brightener to see your video! Andy sure loves his meowmie!! Katie, he looks so good! Well, you know his brothers and sisters have to be major jealous of little brother. I can just picture those little paws under the door.
More prayers and gentle hugs for Andy,
Mary
WE WERE SMILING SEEING AWESOME ANDY:love::love::love: LOOKING SO GOOD AND ALL OF THE CAT LOVERS:cool::cool: AT THE LOCAL BRANCH OF THE LIBRARY ARE SENDING PRAYERS FOR AWESOME ANDY:love::love: AS WELL.
THAT MY FRIOEMND DENISES NAME FOR YOUR FUR PAL, AWESOME ANDY AND IT FITS SO WELL.:love::love:
Awww that video is just too cute!
He looks like he's doing so well. His poor ear...I'm sure it will heal just fine.
Prays still being sent your way!
Melissa
That whole video is such an AWWWWW! He not only forgives you - he never blamed you for anything in the first place. Andy just LOVES, LOVES, LOVES you! :love::D
What a totally sweet boy, purring all the way through!
Looks like he will be ok!
Does he still need stitches on his ear? I kinda got behind on the medical stuff.
Awwwwww, I'm smiling and crying all at the same time. Gentle kisses on your owies.
Great video. He sure looks great and is so happy and content now.:) I'm sure his ear will feel much better after it heals up a bit. He still remains in my thoughts and prayers.
Oh no, the video isn't available???:confused::confused::(
Thanks for the video! It makes me feel more assured that he is going to make it just fine. Of course, prayers still coming your way! I, for one, could use as many updates as you can give. :)
OK...This sounds cliche, I know, but I AM JUST NOW SEEING THIS :eek: I am so sorry I haven't responded before this; Thank God all the other PTers have taken up the slack :) :) Although I have to admit, it was nice being able to jump to "the end" to make sure he is ok. I can't imaging having to go through the agony of waiting the last 4 days. I would be happy to chip in too to help with the costs. You have taught me a lesson I can't put a price tag on! I can't tell you how many times I fill the dryer with Bean downstairs and go to bed for the night :eek: I will ALWAYS check his whereabouts from now on before, during and after :) (Moon is too fat to jump in the dryer....hehe...just kidding but he doesn't go downstairs usually...Oh darn it...now I'm gonna have to get a visual on Moon too each time I do laundry :) ). TRULY, thank you for this! You have probably saved more animals than you can know because I have a really big mouth and will end up telling dozens of people :)
What a wonderful video. He is such a sweet boy and adores you sooooooo much! I think he looks very good. I hope he continues to get better and better. How could he not with such a great nurse?!? :)
p.s. do you think some chilled food might help his burned lip when he is ready to eat on his own?
Katie,
I can't see the video.:(
Melissa
I finally saw it! Oh, Katie, he loves YOU! What a sweetheart he is, such a lovebug!:love::love::love:
I couldn't see it because I was at work. (I know, bad girl) Leave it to them to spoil the fun.....
You look good, sweet Andy!:love::love::love:
Katie, can you relax a little, please???
That video makes me want to go down to the local laundromat and throw myself into a dryer.
Some guys have all the luck!!!
:D;)
(but RICHARD...then your tongue would be burnt!) :o
Leave it to Richard to inject some levity into this situation! Richard, you are a hoot!:D
(let me know if you decide to do this foolish thing; I want to be a witness)
He looks great, still wishing you all the best!
Thanks Katie...my eyes were a little dry from the heat in the house but the video sure took care of that! :cool: I loved his headbutts! Of course he forgives you (actually, he was never "mad" at you in the first place).
Katie, I sent you a little early Christmas $$ for Awesome Andy:cool:. Anyone else who wants to help with his vet bill and has a Paypal account be sure and put a _ between the 33s in Katie's email addy.
Hugs,
Mary
