I sure hope she took George to the vet. Wish we had an update on this!

I don't understand those that post - begging for help - and then never post an update.

I found this one to be even more upsetting, since it was obvious to everyone, that this cat should have been seen by a vet. Instead, it's owner wasted precious time posting and asking for advice here.

Loads of prayers for dear George

I feel the same way. They post, pleading for help, when it's obvious the animal needs to see a vet, and then they never post after being told that, or any other advice. SIGH.

My guess - there is no pet. This troll comes in and posts a distress topic - just to see us get upset.

When I did a community search for the name GPandCP I got this response -

Sorry - no matches. Please try some different terms.

Exactly - but I didn't word it the way you did - as I would have liked to. I've been "thumped" before, for saying much the same thing!

Doesn't it make you nuts that someone would actually go to all of the trouble to post a fake urgent call for help.

Oh yeah, sure - maybe it wasn't - but it probably was..........and all of
us who love our pets and care for them jump in to try to help.

The reply was a no brainer for any of us - rush to the vets!!!

But maybe we were dealing with "no brainers" and that is why they
disappeared.

When I click on the name and Public Profile, it says:

Maybe Karen/Paul could see whats the real thing. Are "The Pikes" lying or what...

I got that, also. I think the person who started this thread is a fraud, just looking for a sucker - and we all fell in the trap.

Most probably you're correct, because if anything new, whether the kitty died, or recovered or nothing changed, the owner would tell. When I got a new turtle and I posted for help, every minute I would check for replies, as I really needed help. If there was a real problem, the owner would check up quite quickly and continuously as to know what to do next.

Its either this or GPandCP died.
