Tragedy at the Layne household... VIDEO ADDED POST 177!

[catmandu]

YOU SHOULDNT BLAME YOURSELF TOO MUCH AS WE ALL DO THINGS AUTOMATICALLY SOMETIMES AND THERES GOING TO BE THAT ONE TIME WHEN YOUR MIND IS ON SEVERAL THINGS AT ONCE WHEN YOU JUST FORGET TO CHECK
I DID THAT YESTERDAY WHEN MICHAELS THE DREAM WAS COMING HOME AND JJJ3 WOULD HAVE RIUNOUT BOTH DOORS IF HE HADNT SEEN OUR VET, DID A DOUBLE TAKE AND RAN BACK IN!!
OUR ANIMAL ANGELS ARE WITH ANDY NOW COMFORTING HIM , AND GIVING HIM THE BENEFIT OF THIER WARM AND LOVE, AND SNACKS THAT ANDY CAN EAT FROM THE FINEST RESOETS IN WHISTLER BC.
AND OF COURSE ALL THE PRAYERS FROM MYSELF, MY FOUND CATS , PORCH CATS RESCUED CTAS AND OUR ANIMAL ANGELS, AND WE PRAY WITH THE GRACE, MERCY AND BLESSINGS OF OUR ALL MIGHTY LORD GOD ABOVE.

I'm so sorry this happened Katie. And I'm sorry your husband was a jerk about it.
I have know several people that have had this happen to one without good results of the outcome.
I will keep you and Andy in my prayers.

[Taz_Zoee]

I am so glad it sounds like Andy will be okay. It will be a long recovery, for both of you.

I am in tears again reading what pat1066 went through.

Sending hugs and love from California to the Layne household and directly to Andy too.

[Catty1]

I am glad your husband is praying...I figured he just reacted out of emotion, as you did. {{{hugs}}}

The hematoma on Andy's ear is a good sign - that is how the body tries to heal damage. It's a healing thing!

I want your PayPal addy too...I don't really have anything at all, but will use plastic to help out a bit! It's for the best cause ever!

Katy, I don't come here as often as I'd like, but I just read your thread and had to reply. Years and years ago, I had a friend to whom this happened - and I've been paranoid on the subject ever since. It's a good paranoia - and one that all of us here will now share, for the safey of our kiddens.

You and Andy will be in my prayers; I personally have experienced the power of prayer, and, with so many good people here sending their petitions to the Creator, surely He will hear and answer.

[Reachoutrescue]

Oh My God Katie!! I am just reading this post as I have been away from PT for like ages! I am praying long and hard the Andy makes a full recovery. I am sorry this happened to him....please do not blame yourself. This is every cat owner's fear. I am sure you are not the first person whose cat has escaped their sight and snuck in the dryer. I bet when Andy comes home he will stay clear of the laundry room!!

Get better soon Andy...lots of love, prayers, and (((HUGS))) from our end.

I am just seeing this thread.... and my heart goes out to you and Andy. I can only imagine what you must be feeling. Many, many prayers coming from me and the girls that Andy is soon back home with you, recuperating in your loving arms.

[chocolatepuppy]

Andy is in my prayers. I hope he's home with you soon.

This may help someone depending on how many cats you have, but I usually do a head count before I turn things on. I did laundry for the first time in my new home this week and checked the washing machine about 40 times before I shut the lid.

[jennielynn1970]

Thinking about you and Andy this morning. Sending many good wishes and get well vibes his way!!

Hugs Katie!

I have to ask this.

I know this is a serious thread, but I started to laugh out loud when I read your post. I bought some real butter this week and have been taking little chunks out of it just to taste it. I could really see myself opening up the cooler and seeing my cat in there.

My real concern?

Did you ever ask the cat if the light in the refridgerator goes out when the door is closed?

[CathyBogart]

*Hugs* How terrifying for both of you!! I'm very glad to hear that the update this morning seems positive.

Everyone makes mistakes, so try not to beat yourself up too much. I remember once when I was driving and my Jasper had his head out the car window....he ended up falling out of the car on a busy road! I almost died of panic, and then humiliation once I realized he was ok.

[AdoreMyDogs]

I never come to the cat side (or very rarely) but happened to see this thread. I'm so sorry that you have to go though such a HORRIBLE experience. No one deserves this kind of heart-ache

Hugs and I hope your kitty continues to improve.
