My Cat's Dyin'

[Kurtz]

I gotta have my cat put down today.

I been up with him all night 'n I just told my brother who's an early riser that we're gonna lose Tar Baby today. He took it fairly well, I just want him to know he should spend a li'l time with him this mornin' before I take him to the vet.

I hate this shit.

[AYFR]

I am so sorry Kurtz :sad

[Kurtz]

I am so sorry Kurtz :sad

Thanks, Rev. :heart

I tell my pets they're goin' to Heaven to be with
my sister 'n partner who were great animal lovers. :heart

[Viki]

:(

Very sorry...

[Kurtz]

:(

Very sorry...


Thanks.
I'm just tryin' to stay busy,
it keeps me from cryin'.

This is really quick, so unexpected.

[Kurtz]

Okay I lied, I been cryin' since I realized he ain't gonna make it.

[sparks]

I'm sorry Kurtz! :sad

[Kurtz]

I'm sorry Kurtz! :sad


Damnittohell sparks, I hate this stuff. :(

I've done this so many times.
I love cats, I've had lots of 'em.
It's never easy to let them go.

sparks, you know I like to tell stories. :lol

You shoulda seen me when I had to load my big ass Doberman in the front seat of my 2 seater sports car. She collapsed in the bedroom so I had to drag her down a long hallway to the back porch slidin' glass door where I had pulled my car up. Then I had to get her in the seat 'n get to the vet's office quick. They were waitin' 'n helped me unload her so we could get her in the office 'n up on a table. It took 3 of us. She was a great dog, trained 'n everythin'. She's the only one I didn't bring home to bury. She got a grave with a tree out in a pet cemetery. All the others up in the city are in the back yard. And I've got separate graveyards for animals down here. I don't put strangers with my babies. My partner's lapdog has her own spot coz she used to harass MY cats. :lol

I have two pets buried in my yard. Sam was my Golden Retriever...he was 15when we had to put him down. It was to the point he couldn't really walk and his eyes and hearing were failing as well. He had gotten to the point where he stopped eating...he knew it was time.

We also have a Yorkshire Terrier buried at the back of the property too. Both graves are marked with rocks. Corky (the Yorkie) was 11 when he was attacked by a neighbor dog and had to be put down. Poor thing! It should have never happened that way...he was just playing in his own yard not bothering anybody.

Lucy was my cat that I had to put down a couple years ago. She was a Calico...and beautiful! She lost control of her bowels and couldn't contain herself. I think she knew it was time as well...she got real cuddly a few months before we put her down and that was not really like her. She was always very independent. She was 13 years old. We let the Vet dispose of her cause it was winter time when she was put down, otherwise we would have buried her in the yard too.

Yours sounds like mine. :heart

One of my cats was 20 when she had to go.

I can't tell stories about all my pets' passings coz I have to go to the vet's office in a few hours. And I don't type fast either. :lol

sparks, it sounds like you 'n that man you live with, that dog guy really love animals. :heart

I'm sorry :cry

[Kurtz]

Thanks, Semmy.

I hate this stuff!
He's groomin'.


Here's my dilemna: One time I stole this cat 'n took it to the vet. She weighed 3.0 lbs. The vet told me she was gonna die, that she was too old 'n emaciated to save. I told him I wanted to try so he prescribed some meds and gave me his blessing. I hand fed that cat every 3 hours for days 'n nights 'n talked to her the whole time. She did die...8 years later! Her name was Lovey, she was cool, slept by me with her paw on my hand.

Then my partner's dog, that damn lapdog she had to have 'n left to me when she died, that damn dog had a stroke. Daisy was 15 when she had the stroke, but did I think about that? Oh no, I rushed that damn thang to the miracle doctor that saved one of my cats that had cancer. I told him to do whatever he could for that damn dog. That damn dog lived another year, blind 'n deaf! Do you know what it's like to live with a blind 'n deaf dog?

Get this, during the time I'm takin' care of the damn deaf 'n blind lapdog, one of MY cats has a stroke. Phussie was only 9! She did not go to the miracle doctor. I was of the mind that pets are sometimes meant to die.

I have a feelin' this is gonna be a long day. :coffee

[crazycase]

I'm sorry Kurtz :( :hugs

[Kurtz]

I'm sorry Kurtz :( :hugs

Oh thank you, crazy. :hug

I just hate wonderin' WHEN I should let TarBaby go. :(
And I don't want it to be when I can't get help, kwim?


Hey sparks, thanks for the smooth sound
of Sade's TarBaby in the music thread. :hug

Here's how TarBaby got his name:lol

TarBaby (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=30VGNiqUD2c)

And he is just like that, ya pet
him 'n he won't let ya alone. :lol

I gotta git, might as well get the vet's thoughts on this.

Thank y'all for your thoughts, those I truly appreciate! :heart

[issac the dragon]

Kurtz, I am so sorry. I've been there and I wish I could hug you. Even though I know it wouldn't help. You are a good woman.

[crazierthanever]

I'm so very sorry about Tar Baby, Kurtz. Damn, it's hard to lose a good friend.

We had sweet Scamper cremated. He 'lives' in a cool pottery bottle thingy with his collar around the neck. Occasionally I find the jar in front of a sunny window in a sunbeam. One of the 'kids' has put him there as it was his favorite place to lay. My son, Steve, nicknamed him 'Howdy Pup' as he was always at the door to greet us with a big wag and a grin when we came home. He was a mixed breed mutt who lived to be 14. I was away on a business trip when he had his last stroke. Poor ole G had to take him for his last ride.

We just had to have Mr.B put down. Isabella and I cried until we couldn't cry anymore. You and Brother will be in my thoughts today. :hug

[McLovin]

Awww Kurtz. :hug I'm so sorry. :cry I love kitties, too, and I lost one of mine earlier this year.

Have strength today. :heart

My 14 year old cat died in 2005. We had to put our 16 year old dog died on Oct. 9. We were suppose to put her down before that, but it was my husband's first pet and he couldn't do it. Now we are waiting for a spot to open for a private cremation. So, she's sitting in the vet's freezer. I hate that. :sad

I thought about that last night, I mean you 'n Bella. :heart

Ol' Bro, he's marked it on his calendar already with all
his other 'dates' 'n the dang cat ain't even dead yet. :lol

I inherited a bunch of pet cremations/boxes from my
sister when she died, I put hers next to them! :lmao

Awww Kurtz. :hug I'm so sorry. :cry I love kitties, too, and I lost one of mine earlier this year.

I thought about you too, OB 'n how quietly you handled it here on TPA.

I kinda wish I'd done the same coz now this has turned into a story tellin' thread. :lol That's one of the thangs I like about TPA, ya can wake up in the middle of the night 'n 9 times outta 10 find someone in here readin' 'n postin' their thoughts. I started postin' (thinkin' of OB 'n her short story on TPA) 'n the next thang I knew I was blubberin' all kinds of stuff. :cry

It's so nice to have an ear out there that listens when one of us has some kinda dilemna or sad story! :heart

So here's the damn update for this thread that I initially thought would be a short one. :lol

TarBaby's blood tests are in the okay range for now. It appears he has somethin' rather large in his kidney. He's too weak to put under anethesia right now so the vet is gonna run some more tests to let me make more of an informed decision.

This vet is really great, he 'n I have worked together on many projects in North Texas 'n he knows my thinkin'. Hell, our conversations generally consist of one sez somethin' 'n the other sez 'that's right.' :lol

Anyway, that's where it is right now 'n I apologize for 'feminizin' TPA like this. :lmao
Hell, y'all wanted the truth so there it is, I'm a pussy lovin' lesbian, what did you expect? :cry

But most of all, I want to thank you all for your posts of kindness 'n understandin'! :heart

I'm so sorry Kurtz.

Thank ya, Ms Q. :heart

[cassandra]

Kurtz I am so sorry. :(

My childhood cat lived 24 years and had to pass right after my Elizabeth was born still. It was such a hard time.

Thinking of you and praying for the vet to make the best informed decision.

Oh cassandra, that's so sad coz you were already suffering at that time. :hug
Twenty-four is a very long time to share a companionship with a cat. :heart

This is TarBaby actin' like the brat he was on my kitchen counter where he was not allowed!

Damn, I can't believe my dang cat died.
It really was so damn quick, he was fine just a day or so ago.

We took a chance to opt for exploratory surgery 'n poor li'l
guy had cancer all throughout his kidneys 'n intestines. :(
My good vet said said it was a no brainer 'n gave me a big hug.

Then he told me he remembered the last time he helped me
with one of my cats with a sleep away 'n how I lied that I
wasn't gonna get any more kids. Then I showed up with Tar Baby!

I do have another cat, Lilly. In fact, I got little TarBaby for Lilly.
Well, Lilly is a toughie lesbian cat, she's gonna be just fine! :)

Again, thanks y'all for everythin', includin' sharin' your stories with me. :heart


I can't believe I let myself get wrapped up in one of these threads like this.
These women owned 'n operated joints are a trip. And some of the men here are so nice.

Kurtz, I want to thank you for allowing us to share your anguish and loss. Sharing helps all of us cope with our losses. And if that is femenizing this board, too damn bad.

I thank the women who run this board for allowing the half of the population that needs to talk more, to do so. That took balls, if you'll pardon me for saying so. And I think some men who kept quiet found solace in the words they read here. They may not talk about their feelings, but we know they have them.

Group hug.

Oh Kurtz:hug, I'm so sorry to hear about Tarbaby. :cry

It's never easy to lose a loved one, and to me pets are part of the family.

What a lovely cat he was too. I've always loved pure black cats, and love it even more when they "cross my path".


Actually I'm the animal lover...the Dog just tolerates it. :rofl

Well, you live with someone 31 years and you think that they know ya. :roll

Contrary to sparky's comment Kurtz, I am indeed an animal lover. Dogs top my list, of course, but cats and tropical fish are cool too.

I've known, and loved, some really cool cats throughout my life.

Bailey is the kitty love of my life right now.

You only got Bailey cause I wanted a cat for Christmas! And I was the one who wanted to capture Lucy and bring her home. I was also the one who wanted to keep Cozmo when he adopted us.

And with Sam, you made the deal with Cliff, but it fell through and Brenda got the dog instead. I talked to Brenda and adopted Sam when she was having trouble with his nipping her kids.

Jonesy I picked out and adopted. Corky we both decided to get...so that's even. Candy was given to me by a friend and I decided to adopt her. Mandy I adopted.

Ok...you and Marge adopted Molly when Cork was missing and you went to the animal shelter to look for him. But something tells me it was more of Margie's idea to take Molly home than yours.

And Mr. Animal lover, wasn't it you who always talked about OPC's (other peoples cats)? You never wanted one yourself, you just wanted to enjoy other peoples cats instead! Animal lover my ass! :rofl

Oh...and weren't you the one who was smacking my hand when I wanted to get close to the baby raccoon in our yard? :yep

Face it Dog...if it wasn't for me and the kids you'd be animal-less to this day!

[Kurtz]

:bs Sorry but, wrongo bozo. I call BS on ya.

I'd still have dogs, even if you didn't grace my life. But, I might not have cats though. :lol

But then again, what about Domino? I wanted to adopt that stray cutie. Shame he didn't stick around long.

And Briley? And Max? Damn, it's funny that you, the "only animal lover" in our house forgets several cats that we have had and that I was part of adopting.

I am an animal lover, just not an animal "sucker", like some folks I know. :whistle

And Bri-guy was my idea to adopt...and frankly I forget where we got Max. He wasn't around very long.

And I was the one who appreciated Domino! That cat could hold his own with Cozmo! It is a shame he didn't stick around long.

I maintain my original statement..."if it weren't for me and the kids you'd never have had all these animals grace your life"! Face it Dog...your life is much fuller thanks to me and the kids and all the animals we've brought into your life along the way! :lol

Two acres of runnin' ground sounds good for dogs.

but she has a curfew coz of the predators down here. :para

And she's spozed to sleep in the bed with me. :max

Movin' in Monday is quick, you got it
all ready or you gonna be real busy?
:panic

The weather seems to be unwelcoming to ya today Viki

Well, OK ...

Let's see ... Melissa (yes, THAT one ... ) and I have this week bought a house, a truck, a gothic king-sized bedroom set, a mattress, furniture for my study, and a parlor set, not to mention all the linens, comforters, and pillows that a girl like me likes ... we've been planning this for two months and living out of an hotel room, while I make trips back and forth to PA (where a lot of my work and my two, adult kids are), with side trips to Phoenix, AR for some more work.

In fact, in the next 11 weeks, I'll pretty much be in TN one week and in another part of the country another, over and over and over again.

So, yes, because of the weather my trip back to PA, which was supposed to be tomorrow has been delayed until Monday, when I hope the weather will be better, and thank goodness the house is in move-in condition, because I'm leaving Melissa behind to meet and greet all the nice people who will be delivering furniture and such on Monday (and probably the whole week).

I won't actually get to spend a night there until next Friday night ... sigh...but I know she'll work hard to pull it together before then... I'll only have to girly decorating things (in fact, don't tell her, but I just spent a scad of money on the HSN website to buy all the goodies I'll need, in terms of holiday decorations, to host her entire clan for Thanksgiving dinner!!!
