Please keep Rosco and Abigail in your thoughts

[Craftlady]

I'm glad to hear that everything went well with surgery. Will keep good thoughts and prayers for speedy recoveries. Sounds like a gourmet feast awaits them when they return home.

The baby Brats are fine!
We are home and absolutely nothing went as planned! I had the cage all set up with everything wonderful and comfortable for them and of course I couldn't wait to get them home.
When we got to the shelter we found them together in their carrier and Rosco had his arm thrown over Abigail as if he was caring for and protecting her. That was so sweet but heartwrenching.

We get home and carefully start opening the carrier door and BAM Rosco is history!!! I still can't figure out he squeezed through about a 1 inch opening! He made a mad dash under the couch and he is still there.
I gently got Abigail out and put her in the cage and that is when she went nuts! I covered the cage completely and put in some food and water. She pulled up carpet on all four sides of the cage for an hour and a half! She would not settle down or eat the medicated food. Hubby and I finally decided that we were doing her more harm than good and let her out. She didn't run away and I gave her tons of gentle kisses and snuggles. She calmly walked away and is now sleeping. She did better than Rosco!!!!

After all these years you would think I would know that with cats the exact opposite of what you think is going to happen does!!

So, for now, Rosco is in hiding and Abigail appears to be fine and is resting. I, on the other hand, need a tranquilizer!!!


btw-Rosco is gonna miss those cute little cotton balls too! Shame on you girls for going back and checking out his now non existant "goods"!!!
Where is Richard???? Rosco needs you Richard!

I'm glad all went well and you're all home and some of you are resting. Is Rosco looking for his "bits?"

I am glad to hear they are ok.

I don't think the cardio myopathy is completely without dangers. My co-worker Gudrun had two cats, sisters who had it. She found out when one day Lisa suddenly died- within 15 minutes at the age of about 7. She then had Mona checked and of course she had it too. She is getting beta blockers now for like 2 years every morning and evening! But she's doing fine. She even had teeth extracted under anesthesia- but of course for a kitty like this anesthesia is a risk.

But there are different types of cardiomyopathy (which mainly means a weak heart muscle) I hope you can find more about it.

So glad to hear all went well. Give those babies gentle little kisses from me please!

I'm glad to hear that the "baby brats" are now officially "adult brats."

I wonder if Magoo knows that Abigail has "special needs" too, and if that's why he's so gentle and affectionate with her.

Don Juan offers Roscoe his most sincere condolences on the loss of his b***s.

WHEW!!! I got myself busy stitching and lost track of time! Those prayers just took me away Meanwhile - YOU need a tranquilzer!! YES, I bet that is how you feel. But it is OVER!!!

I went back and checked, too

Lilith was right She told me all the kittiefaries were looking out for those 2. I think Rosco is a little P. oed right now with the fact that something important(to him anyway) is not where it was before he went to the doc. I bet he has it in for the doc from now on. Snuggles and kisses from me to those brats of yours and Lilith and Vixen want to send along noserubs and headbutts but gentle ones for now.

Found an interesting website dedicated to Feline Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy at http://members.aol.com/jchinitz/hcm/ .

My neighbours cat Mindy (a male) had cardiomyopathy and he had to take Digoxin for his condition. He lived with this disease for a few years, but he had to be PTS when he developed a tumour below his chin (unrelated to his heart condition).

On a very personal note my father suffered from cardiomyopathy and he had to have a pacemaker put in and take a whole slew of medication. Sadly, it still didn't prevent his too early death a few years after he was first diagnosed.

P.S. Yes, Roscoe did have a nice pair of knockers

I actually noticed them the other day when I saw that pic of his leg getting out of hand, but didn't think anything of it because CJ still has his "cotton balls." CJ is neutered, but still has his fuzzy little companions. I always wondered about that because Tubby's little friends were long gone.

so glad to hear everything is all right and they're home safe and sound and sleeping it off. That little Abigail says "Mom, I'm a big girl now, let me out of this cage or I'll really start putting up a fuss!"

Now I can breathe. Lisa, I am sure you will be on edge for days to come and I won't relax either. She is Magoos little love and he will be watching her like a hawk I bet so give Grampa a chance to oversee her recovery. Chester sat by Amy the whole day I brought her home and just watched her like a hawk! Followed every step she made then sat quietly by her kennel as she slept, getting up to peek in every so often. I see Magoo doing that same thing for his little girl.

I know where you have been today with all the stress so (((((HUGS)))) to you. Try to relax and take it easy.
