    I am glad she is ok for now, and that her heart rate is way down.

    I found this: "The normal value in a cat ranges from 120 to 200 depending on how excited he is."

    Can you imagine trying to get a 'resting pulse rate' on a cat? But still, it sounds like Pidgie is back in the normal range...and it might be even lower now that she is at home.

    You could try feeling her little heartbeat while you are patting her, counting the beats for 15 seconds, and multiplying by 4.

    Wishing Pidge more happy and comfy days with you and her Boo.

    Glad to hear that she's back home, and you have more idea of what's happening, and she relaxes when you sing to her, and you and Dr. Lee talked over your frustration and anger at the runaround you got from his staff..

    Prayers are continuing as well as lots of loving thoughts and strengthening energies and happy greetings,

    I'm glad to hear that Pidge is doing well and I hope that she'll continue to do so. She'll remain in my thoughts and prayers.

    What a relief that Pidge's heart rate is much lower!! I know my cats get very stressed in the car so I'm sure it was a major concern on your drive home, especially when she started vocalizing. I'm dying to know what song you sang though!
    I'm glad that you were able to share with Dr. Lee what has been upsetting recently and that he was receptive. It feels like things are getting better and better.

    I hope you girls can get some sleep tonight. You both must be exhausted.

    LOL, that's how she got her name. She cooed like a pigeon when I first rescued her.
    Blessings,
