I need Prayers Please

... I would get him to the vet ASAP. I know this is a busy/difficult time so maybe you could just drop him off and leave him until you can pick him up. We have to do this at times when hours of work and hours of vet just don't coordinate. Good luck to you with both situations! Please keep us updated.

Oh Lisa what a difficult time! I know it always seems that when "life happens" in happens in bunches. I do hope your grandmother is doing better.

As for Magoo, I'm with the others here and would drop him off at the vet's office so they can monitor his cyst and whatever else is going on with him. It does sound like he's either in pain or is picking up on the stress/hospital smells. That cyst situation sounds like it needs attention.

You are all in our prayers. Do keep us posted.

Sending many good thoughts to your Grandma, Magoo, and you. God bless!

[smokey the elder]

I'm really sorry about your grandmother. I pray that she will recover fully.

Magoo, chill please. Your meowmie isn't abandoning you!

[Felicia's Mom]

Your Grandmother and Magoo will be in my prayers. Please keep us posted.

Oh CCL, i'm so sorry to hear about your grandma. You must have some good genes in your family for your grandma to still be so spry at the age of 96. God bless her. Sending prayers and positive thoughts her way.

Poor sweet Magoo. Gosh I don't know what to say except I hope and pray that whatever is bothering him will be only short term and that he will be able to see a vet soon.

Hang in there CCL, you know we are all here for you.

Prayers from me and my nine went and are going to keep going your way...
Magoo may be uncomfortable (did the vet specify if the cyst causes pressure or what?) and don't forget what we all talked about when we first saw him in the window- how even with no sight, his other senses are heightened and he can enjoy the doings of the outdoors as much as any indoor cat! That means he can smell things much more than we can imagine! (I'm just guessing here - but it SEEMS right from what we know about people who lose a sense...) Anyway, don't lose heart- it was a blue moon last night and if you pretend to be calm, maybe he will too... Any rescue remedy left over?! Extra scritches for both of you!

First and foremost! THANK YOU ALL for your kind words and especially for your prayers!!! Guess what? They worked again!!! I came in very calmly and quietly tonight and went straight to Magoo and gently put him in my lap and talked very quietly to him for a long time. So far he is still calm and not totally spastic like he was last night. It never crossed my mind about smells! You guys are so smart! I might have brought in some kind of odor that reminded him of no telling what. He was nuts last night! He followed me every step I took but he woud run if I tried to touch him. He cried and cried but would hide when I approached him. When I finally got to him he would bite me and not play nicely! He ran and chased several of the other kitties last night. He threw caution to the wind and didn't even care if he ran into anything. It scared me to death! I didn't know what was wrong with him.
Thankfully he is calm tonight and seems more normal. Maybe his freaky fit is over! I hope so because I hate to think that he was upset or reminded of something because of an odor I brought home. Whatever was wrong PT prayers were answered once again! Thank you all so much!!!

Grandma is doing ok. She has a long road of rehab ahead and they are very hopeful that she will regain the use of her left leg. They don't see to much hope right now for her left arm but I'm not writing it off yet. They don't know my Grandma!!! Unfortunately they will be putting a feeding tube into her stomach tomorrow because she could not pass the swallow test. We are viewing this as a temporary setback. Thanks so much for saying prayers for her! She truly is an incredible lady.

I think I'm staying home tomorrow and I will try to get Magoo to the vet and get this cyst drained and see what our regular vet says. I will keep everyone posted.

Thanks again for being there for me guys! I seem to be calling on you all a lot here lately.

A bit late, but I live a nutty life! Glad to hear that things with Magoo calmed down as of today, and that your grandmother is doing as well as can be expected. Many good points brought up regarding unfamiliar smells, stress levels (yours) and Magoo's cyst which may be pressing on nerves and causing discomfort. Hope he can be looked at and have it at least drained. And Leslie brought up another point...full moon=high tension etc! Hoping things level out all around for you!

[rg_girlca]

Oh I'm so glad that your Grandma is doing better. In regards to her having to have a feeding tube, an elderly friend of mine had the same thing when she had a stroke and yes, it was a temporary setback. Within a week, the swelling went down, the feeding tube removed and she was able to eat small amounts of food at first. I hope and pray that your Grandma will be as lucky.


Oh, just reading what Magoo went through last night brought tears to my eyes. Poor boy and poor you for having to see him go through this. I'm happy to hear he is back to himself tonight.
Kisses to you sweet boy.

CCL, like Dionne Warwick sang, "That's What Friends Are For".

You can call anytime and we will be here.

Take care and get a much needed rest.

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

What an ordeal! Seems it all hits the fan at the same time. I'm so glad to hear Grandma is doing as well as can be expected, and I'm so glad to hear Magoo was much calmer last night.

Thoughts and prayers going out for Grandma, Magoo, hubby and the rest of the crew too. Stress is no fun for anyone and as the saying goes "If mama's not happy ain't nobody happy!"

That is encuraging news about your Grandma and about Mr. Magoo!! Prayers still being sent your way and a few *headbumpies* for you too!

[persianmom]

I will keep your Grandmother in my prayers, stay strong.

[sirrahbed]

Things sure rain on you at the same time, Lisa!! Here is a (((((HUG))))). Glad that Magoo is now drained of his cyst, over his crazy episode and your grandma doing better. Strokes DO take a long time to recover from at times - but you just never know how well some folks can spring back!!

It sounds like you have had a record awful week - so now it is time to switch directions and have some good news and restful days This is from your pink nurse!
