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

[JustineNYC]

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.

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

Hugs Katie!

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.

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.

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.

OMG Katie! I'm just now seeing this so I'm sitting here going through all the emotions. I'm so sorry this happened and shame on your husband for being a jerk last night but at least he realizes now. It's not your fault, it was an accident - remember that!

I'll be thinking about poor Andy and you today and keeping you both in my prayers. Hang in there little guy.

OMG, I just saw this. Prayers coming strong that Andy will pull through. There is no room for guilt. Please, these things are accidents, and you can only look forward. I am so sorry your husband is being so difficult. At a time like this, it is the last thing you need.

Pat1066, I am so very sorry to read this happened to you to. I know your heart must still bear the wounds, and to come forward and offer your story now, to help Katie, is really so remarkable.

Poor little baby. I will be keeping my fingers crossed for him.

He'll be ok.

Oh Katie, what a horrible accident to have happened. No matter how many people mention that "IT ISN'T YOUR FAULT", you will still blame yourself. I'm happy that he is home with you even if it's just for a night. I know this is what you both need at the moment and that he ate a little bit.
Big time prayers on the way for precious Andy and {{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}} for you. Just think if you had decided to go outside or to the store, the outcome would have been tragic. BUT, thankfully you were home and saved him from a certain death.
Years ago, when I went into the fridge to get a drink, I didn't notice when I closed the door that Mooky had jumped into it. About 5 minutes later, the hubby went to get something out of the fridge and out popped Mooky. Thankfully he was okay, but I dreaded the thought of how long he would have been in there if it wasn't for the hubby opening the fridge up.
Another time, my sweet Katie girl, got closed in my sons closet in the morning and was closed in there for the whole day while everyone was at work. When my son came home, he could hear something in the closet so opened it up and out came Katie giving him heck like you wouldn't believe.
It's unfortunate that these things happen, but they are "ACCIDENTS", that can happen to the best of us. So please dear sweet girl, do not beat yourself up over this, okay.
