Mary!! Even we we had permission to take the E collar off Tina, I knew we could not watch her 24/7. She was fairly good about not scratching the affected ear. PLEASE do not beat up yourself....you are a good cat mom....more prayers heading your way.....Sandra

Mary, you're a wonderful cat mom, but perfection is not part of the deal. You're human. Pick yourself up, and Yodie, dust you both off; start again. It's all you can do. Nothing can be accomplished by dwelling on anything. Yodie will benefit from the renewed attention.

Prayers from Pinot's house - and lots of love to help through the Holidays!!

If I ever grow up, I wanna be just like you.

Mary, you're a wonderful cat mom so please don't forget this. I'm so sorry to hear that you feel so overwhelmed right now. I hope that you'll be able to relax soon and take it easy. Lots of prayers and positive thoughts are going out to you and all of your furkids. Please take care. (((HUGS)))

Yodie is doing well this morning, much better than I expected. She slept snuggled next to me all night as though she was comforting me instead of the other way around. It gives me LES just thinking about it. Cats are amazing creatures.

She had a huge appetite this morning but had difficulty eating because her collar kept pushing the dish away so I stood in front of it so that the dish couldn't slide. Also, the wet food ended up inside her collar and she didn't like that at all because I suppose she could smell it and couldn't get to it. LOL So, of course, I cleaned it for her. That collar isn't coming off for any reason. I'm able to administer her meds even more easily w/it on rather than off. I've been trying to maintain a sense of humor about this whole incident, telling myself that I didn't intentionally hurt her but I have my moments when I just feel lousy. If she would socialize w/the rest of the Fur Posse as my other cats have done whenever they've had to wear a collar, I'd feel better but she plays the martyr and just sits there, growling and hissing and swatting at anyone who dares to come near her, except for me. She's not mad at me any more, at least.

So that's it for now. I have a dr. appt. this morning so I'll put her in my guest room w/food, water and litter box. She'll be fine until I get home. I'm actually glad that I cancelled this evening's festivities. I'm looking foward to a quiet evening w/the Fur Posse, watching a Xmas movie and just relaxing a bit. Thanx again for your kind words and support, friends. It helps a lot.

Glad to hear Yodie is feeling better, and you too! It's hard to be gentle with ourselves when our babies are sick.

Sit back, watch your movie tonight, and just enjoy the peace and relative quiet, lol.

I'm so glad Yodie is feeling better. I hope things go well for you at your appt.

Bone graft sounds kinda painful, I've never had one done.

I hope things turn out well.

Take care,
Melissa
