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

[Lizzie]

Yikes, Katie, what a truly horrific scare for you, and for Andy. I'm another who has been surprised at times when my cats have walked into places that I'd think would make them uncomfortable, such as the dishwasher, and so speedily. Like another poster, one of mine got in the fridge once. I saw something out of the corner of my eye as I closed the door, re-opened it thinking I was being paranoid, and there was a cat on a shelf.

I can see that Andy's ear is red and I'm glad he's on pain meds for the burn. I think he's going to be one of the lucky ones and pull through this - well, with luck and all your excellent care.

I have checked throughout the day, and am thrilled to hear more good news!!

[kt_luvs_kitties]

Update! Sick of them yet?

Andy is doing well, and he ate another jar of baby food. Along with really smashed and pureed fancy feast, he REALLY liked that. His temp is at 103.6... not so bad I think. He is using the potty pan reguarly.

People have asked me for donation info. If you would like to donate, my paypal is [email protected]. If you want to mail a check, PM me. IF you want to speak to my vets office, just to confirm, please pm me as well, so I can give you contact information. ALSO, if anyone needs invoices, I can mail them directly to you, please leave in the PM your address, and I will try to get them mailed off next week. I thank everyone so much, and MORE importantly than donations, Andy needs prayers. I want him to better, and to put this whole terrible thing behind us. The guilt wont ever go away, BUT I can make it up to him.

I apprieciate all of the thoughts, prayers, and nice pms I have recieved. The support has been amazing, and I could not be more grateful! And also thank you so much for not making this a MORE difficult time by making me feel worse. That means so much. I needed support, not ridicule. You all gave that to me.

My family (some who are NOT animal people) have even been calling regularly to check in on Andy. That poor fella has so many people who care about him, even people who have never met him. He would not believe it. He was just an abused throwaway stray, wanting a furrever home when I took him in. So were his 4 other brothers and sisters. He sure would feel special if he truly understood and could read these posts!

I will try to post a video a bit later, maybe of feeding time! Be back!

I'm sorry that I am not able to help financially but I am checking regularly and have Andy in my prayers! He is looking great!

Good thoughts and prayers from Naomi, Tilly and Nutmeg

[kt_luvs_kitties]

Nomilynn, Your prayers mean more to us anyday. I could NOT be more blessed and grateful! DONT feel sorry, please!

Knowing other people care about Andy, its just, precious. We apprieciate it SO much.

More and more prayers, and good healing energies, and loads and loads of from us,

Pat, Peony, Sydney, Poppy, Elmer, and Bob

That is bringing the Funnay from a bad situation.

Andy, Erp the Cat is pulling for you!!

[Barbara]

I am glad to hear Andy eats- this is definitely a good sign.
I am sure he lost one life- but there are others left.

[kt_luvs_kitties]

LOL Richard, so that is why he likes when I leave his room with only a night light on

Andy is doing well, eating a bit and pottying regularly. I leave different foods out to see if he will eat on his own (not yet, he tries but then winces and spits it out) He loves attention, and is being shockenly calm about the meds. He just hates the ecollar and the burn cream...

He is napping comfortably, and Here is a video I took of him tonight. Excuse his dirty nose, I forgot to wipe him down after dinner time.. I was rushing so I could get my other stuff done. Please excuse how bad I look as well... It has been a ROUGH (physically and emotionally) 4 days...





Thanks again for all of the well wishes!

I love hearing good news, esp. about Andy! Yup, there is something about that Fancy Feast, cats really like it, kind of like Temptations. I'm so glad you've gotten him to eat more; that will really help him gain strength and heal faster.

Of course all the PT prayers can't hurt, either. Everyone here is pulling for Andy!!!

Get better, sweet boy. Tell your mamma to give you some special scritches from Archy, Binky and me...........

[Scooter's Mom]

Oh, Katie he looks really good. It looks like you can touch his ear or near it at least, and he doesn't seem to mind. That's good, I think.

He's such a sweet kitty, and it is obvious he loves you a lot.

Keep your chin up. He's going to pull through this. ((Hugs))

[kt_luvs_kitties]

Crystal, he does look good, doesnt he I am so proud of him!

I can touch the outside of the ear, without pain, as long as I dont apply pressure. The inside, understandably, is more sensitive, and I HATE putting the meds in, because he squirms, and I know it must be sore.


I truly believe he will make it through this, he is a very strong boy, and awfully determined to be "normal" again.
----------------

What I find funny is that all of the other kitties and dogs alike want to be his best friend now.. Because he gets ALL of the GREAT food. Served to him in bed and heated.. He doesnt have to chew or even get up, it goes directly to his mouth.. My kitties are WAY jealous.

They stick their little paws under the door, cry at the door, and sniff under the door as well. They want HIS goodies
