UPDATE again - Mishi's Across the Bridge :(

[RedHedd]

Yesterday I thought I was going to lose Mishi. He was so down and lethargic. I hardly slept all night thinking I would wake up to a cold cat or have to take him to the vet for his last sleep. Instead, he's up, eating, tail perky, hiding from me when he saw me taking the bag of fluids to the bathroom (easier to do it there as there's a hangy thing that's just the right height to get the fluids flowing at a good rate and I can confine him, even though he's very easy to give fluids to). So he gets to stay on this side of the Bridge one more day.

It really is one day at a time right now. I pray that I'll know when the time is right - it's very close; its' just not today.

Wishing you happy and perky days with dear Mishi.

I'm glad today's a good day for Mishi. The ups-and-downs are so hard, but the good days are really precious.

Georgia, This must be so difficult to see. I'm glad that today is a good day and I hope that he'll continue to have many more. Please take care. (((HUGS)))

Praying for strength, as those ups and downs can take a toll on you. Wishing you many UPS and very few downs.

Knowing that the end is coming it not easy. Just count the good days and enjoy every one of them! Prayers for good days...

RH:
I have been following this thread but have not posted much yet. Sometimes I read a thread like this and it's too close to home...it brings back all the pain that I felt when Speckles was on her way out. Her kidneys shut down and eventually the rest of her organs. Speckles was fine a couple of weeks prior, then she went downhill so fast that she never perked up at all.

...but it sounds as if Mishi is not there yet. If he is perking up for Fancy Feast that is an excellent sign and he could be around for months yet. Keep the faith girl! Enjoy every moment you have with Mishi and when the time comes, I pray that you will be given the strength to get through it. Call me if you want to talk, OK?

Big {{{hugs}}} to you Georgia and gentle kisses to the furbabies.

Thanks, everyone. I came home to Mishi chowing down! He keeps amazing me. I cherish every moment I have with the silly goon. He may not be my BIG goon anymore, but he's still my goofy boybee.

Mishi, sweet boy. I'm glad you're interested in your dinner today! I hope and pray that you are going to have good days on top of good days. Cause your mum loves you and you have a whole lot of fans on Pet Talk. Here are some kisses for the two fluffy kitties at RedHedd's house: *SMOOCH *SMOOCH

Aw! Thanks. That one is kind of blurry. Here is my all-time favorite picture of Mishi:


I even made it my desktop at work today.

I hope that his good days continue to be better....

We are still keeping all of you in our prayers!
