PLEASE...need many prayers for Pep

[jazzzytina]

I know I asked this earlier, but Pep has taken a turn for the worse - I think he may have had a stroke. I'm taking him to the vet this afternoon at 2:30 - he can't walk and won't eat wet food, which is not like him, and he is mewing these teenie little mews - i can hardly type through the tears - he's been such a good cat for 19 years. We're just not ready to let him go. Please please say a little prayer for him that he can either go comfortably or hang on and bounce back. I really appreciate it.

Poor Pep. He is in my prayers. Hang in there!

I'm so sorry to hear this Tina. I know it must be so heartbreaking for you.
Prayers are on the way that if Pep must go to the Bridge then let it be an easy and peaceful trip for him. Prayers also for you and your hubby. Pep is much loved and we all understand the pain it causes when it comes time for them to leave us. Please God let it be as easy as possible for all of them.
God Bless you all and please keep us posted.

Purrayers for Pep & you as well. Is he an older kitty? I would think the vets would want to see him earlier than 2:30! I'd be marching into my vets first thing in the morning without an appointment.

Pep is 19. Today is surgery day at the vet, and they don't take any appointments until 2:30. My sister is with him while I am at work for a while - she is so good with him and he loves her dearly. He even wrote her a love letter that you can see at

Thanks for all your well wishes and prayers.

Good Luck.
I like other think you might want to think about changing vets. They can make time to see you inbetween surgery procedures. I am so thankful when my vet practice says "come now" when it's a emergency.

[jazzcat]

I'm sorry. I hope Pep will be okay. Prayers on the way!

Now that's one heartfelt love letter! Gorgeous Pep...please get better so Auntie Maria & your Meowmie can have more years with you.

Oh Pep, what a wonderful love letter. Your Auntie Maria must be something special. It brought tears to my eyes. Mega prayers on the way for you sweetie. You've had a good life until now and I pray that you are around for a few more years yet. Get well soon honey and please tell your Meowmie to post as soon as there is any updates.

I'm sorry about Pep's health concerns. I hope everything is successful today.

Prayers on the way for sweet Pep and all who love him. My cats have all paws crossed too!

Our prayers are on the way, too.

Thanks everyone. The vet says that there's really nothing they can do for him, but if we wanted, we could have a bunch of bloodwork and x-rays done. He said the chances of him being able to fix what he might find wrong is "very low". He gave him a B-12 shot and some NutriCal since he isn't eating, and just told us to make him comfortable. Maria, my sister, was here with him all morning and held him like a baby and he seemed to like that.

He's been a good, good friend, and COTD, so we couldn't ask for much more except for a peaceful end to any suffering he's having. We're going to decide what to do when Daddy gets home from work.

Thanks so much for your prayers and concerns. It really helps to have people who understand to talk with.
