How is Butter today?

I am sorry people are being rude to you...
Please know there are those of us who do care though and are willing to help you as much as possible.

I want to snuggle cute lil Butterboy!

Yes, I know the majority are very kind people.

I took Butter out for his heart to be checked. He said Butter was excellent, and sat right where he was suppost to. Everyone keeps telling me how sweet he is. There was like 3-4 vet students today, and Butter went around and got his love from everyone.

I can't remember what the condition is called, but he said it is genetic, and unrelating to his bladder problem. Part of lining in his heart is larger than normal? Anyway, he said for now he is fine, but needs to be checked again next year and closely monitored. He may someday have problems with it...like trouble breathing, panting, stiffness, etc. He will need to go on meds for the rest of his life when that happens...but that is managable. Phew! I'm glad that part is done with.

As for his pee...They took a sample and I won't know until tomorrow what the results are. He said his pee looked clear to him (no grit etc) but the tests will say for sure. He still isn't peeing properly, but it could be taking him longer to get better. I'm afraid to feel releaved, as I know when I do he'll get sick again. Hopefully the tests come back good anyway.

He is being his normal very happy self lately.

slleipnir, it's such a difficult situation you're in. I understand your money problem, if one of my girls would need a treatment that expensive, I'd be in the same dilemma.

I'll keep you and Butter in my thoughts, and I hope his bladder problems will get better without an expensive surgery that's also risky for him because of his heart condition. Maybe the test result of the urine sample will give you some answers.

BTW, thanks for posting his pictures, he resembles my RB Katz a lot!

Butter is beautiful!!! And, I'm still praying that he will continue to improve and PEE nice ungrainy PEE (did you hear that, Butter?).

Let's hope things continue for the better. He is such a little sweetie; no wonder everyone at the vet's loved him!

He is such a wonderful cat. I love him to death. I hope if the problem does come back that it's not for a while so I can save my emergency funds up again. I'm just glad I had the extra money.

I took him into my work after his vet visit. He just wanted to explore everything. I gotta try and get a picture of his big eyes someday...they are like saucers.
