Had to put my cat down today.
« on: Jun 09, 2009, 11:14:12 PM »
Was totally unexpected too as she was only like 6 years old and healthy. She'd been acting sick for the last two day, but I thought it was a kidney stone since I had that happen to another cat a few years back and he acted exactly the same way. I knew if it was there wasn't much they could do, but if they could make it easier on her then I'd take her to the Vet. So I did that and it turns out she didn't have a Kidney stone, but instead some rare blood diease that only effects Cats and is being carried by ticks. It attacks the red blood cells and then turns on the internal organs basicly breaking them down. There wasn't much that could be done for her. There was a super expensive experimental drug that they pretty much said hadn't worked on a single cat that had it before. My only courses of action where to put her down or to let her basicly rot from the inside and die in a week in extreme pain. I choose the former. If she had to die I'd rather it be quick and painless. So I went from thinking I was taking my cat in for a routine thing and ended up having to put her down.

So pretty much my whole day has sucked. I actually don't know what I'm going to do since I can't remember not owning a cat like ever. This is the first time I won't have one around.

Shelter? Alot of Kitties never get adopted.
I said its hot outside let me go swimming in your eyes;
We been running for awhile. Why don't you lay dow, I'll make you smile.
I could never ask for nothing better than this;
It's just tequila and the beach, it's quite salty when we kiss.

Well I just don't know if I want another Cat right now. I don't know I might change my mind in a few days, but I doubt it.

So are you going to throw out all the stuff? Maybe donate it?

I'm sorry about your kitty.  Which kitty was it?  I thought you had more than one cat.

I don't know. She didn't really have a lot of stuff. Couple of Food Bowls, a Window perch, and one of those big feeders you could fill up with food and leave it for like a week. I use to get her like Cat toys and stuff, but she never played with them and since she was a Manecoon a collar mader her mane looks strange so she never wore one. I think I'll wait and see if I break down and get another one before I decide what to do with the stuff.

I'm sorry about your kitty.  Which kitty was it?  I thought you had more than one cat.

At one point I had three. One was a stray that just disappeared one day. The next was killed by some animal. (I suspect a Neighbors dog since it left the body. A wild animal would have taken it for food. This was a "For fun" kill.) and then this one that I had to put down. This was the Calico Manecoon. I'll see if I can scan a pic and throw it up.

Sorry to hear it.

So many of my cats died when I was little because they were all outside cats.

There were other feral cats in the area too.  Sometimes a feral cat would kill one of our cats and take leadership of the clan.  At first we'd hate that new cat but then eventually we'd be feeding and petting him as the new feudal lord.  I wish I'd chronicled all the battles and blood lines.

What were their names?  The one you put down was named Callie?

Paws was the oldest an the one killed by another animal. It was sad cause he was like 14 years old and I thought he'd be the one I'd have to put down. Best Cat I ever owned. If I could clone one pet, he'd be it.

Kalie was the one we had to put down. She was like 6.

Sama was the stray we took in. He was a Siamese. I wanted to name him trip cause he'd always try to rub your legs while you were walking, thus tripping you. But I was the only one that like the name. That was my 2nd choice. Sometimes called Sama-Cat.

I've only recently entered the world of putting down pets. This is only the 2nd time I've had to do it. (The first being my mom's dog.) Most of my pet when I was younger were hit by cars. I think I even remenber a long time ago that I left a chat for this very board, to discover my cat Domino had been hit by a car and had to bury him.

I remember that chat.  And poor Paws.  :(  I'm sure you mentioned that but I had forgotten.


I'm always scared I'm gonna find Mr. Jorge (yes, we actually call him Mister) flattened one day.  He at least appears to keep to the neighborhood and not venture on the four-lane road nearby.

Black Fiend (a neighbor's cat, who's actually named Trouble, though Merla calls her Cassandra) had four kittens a couple of weeks ago.  These people don't seem to keep anybody indoors on a permanent basis (they have another cat), so I'm worried they'll just throw all the kittens outside once they're big and I'll have all of these others to worry about.

There's also a bunch of rather large dogs that roam around so I was worried about the cats, but the cats have the dogs whipped.  Even Mr. Leelo, as sickly as he was, did a superb job of guarding our front yard.  He would sleep in the front in a ball.  Once he died, these damn uppity dogs just traipse all over the place.  I feel kinda sorry for them, but Merla actually hates them.   :laugh:


Sama is a goof-ass name.  He should've been Trip.  It makes him sound like a multi-millionaire who dabbles in politcs.  Why, you'd be lucky if he lets your ass caddy for him!  And when he disappeared, you could say that Trip went to go visit his buddy Wentworth and his wife Buffy in the Hamptons.

I don't know how exactly you feel about it, but I think you should get another cat.  There has to be a cat that likes MOTU at least half as much as you do.  You could name him/her Battle Cat.  (But not Cringer because Cringer's a wank.)


If I could clone one pet, it'd be Button.  Perfect temperament.  Let me hold her and cuddle her, would hug me, come when called and sleep in the bed.  Would come to me when I would be crying to comfort me.  Would roll around like a weasel in heat when I gave her a minty gum wrapper.  Never pooped outside the litterbox not matter what unlike some people I know.  (And she liked the smell of my armpits, too.)

I think the Sama name just came about from the fact that I was just calling him Sama-Cat at the time and it stuck. I remember the neighbors claimed he was theres, but they also said he was netured and Sama had the biggest Balls I'd ever seen on a cat.

I keep going back and forth. I still have two dogs actually, but that can never be the same as a cat. Although I don't even own a litterbox anymore. Threw it out years ago as none of my cats used it and all went outside.

And any MOTU inspired name would be more like Panthor since I always liked Skeletor and his evil warriors better.

I could just throw acid in his face. But I'd have to make sure that whatever cat was going to get was willing to sell his soul to Hordak first.

Who?  Me?  There's nothing wrong with a yummy seafood diet.  It's not like he'd have a penis.  It's as harmless as cooking and eating a Namekian.

Well we have no idea how evolution played out on Eternia. I mean he does have two arms and two legs...he might have external genitals.

Course it wouldn't matter, no one can beat Beast Man at Snake Mountain. Heard he is hung like Huey Lewis.

That's the powet of love.

























That didn't work out like I wanted it to.
I said its hot outside let me go swimming in your eyes;
We been running for awhile. Why don't you lay dow, I'll make you smile.
I could never ask for nothing better than this;
It's just tequila and the beach, it's quite salty when we kiss.
