Yes, i was the one here maybe 6 weeks ago, about my elderly cat losing weight & we had some discussion about teaching Zuri, my almost 1 yr old cat, to be an indoor cat. & now THIS happened. I couldnt get to the links on the cat boards last eve, when this all happened - & i was just 2 weeks ago on the dog boards b/c my 5 yr old Lab was dx with cancer & had surgery ... so these are the posts to them. & the latest update. Sorry so long, but i wanted to give you the whole story. Thanks in advance for any advice & your suggesstions!

Thurs eve:


I swear to God, i just want to vomit. He is alive & there is a decent possibility he may be ok - but no gaurentees.


He is not even a year old. The BEST cat. Totally cool, big hunter by day, but snuggles either in Ave's bed by nite, or my bathroom sink. He loves to be outside & although it freaks me out to have him be an outdoor cat, he wont stay in. Every nite we shake a Pounce can & he comes running. Its SO cute, you hear his bell from like 5 blocks away, & it gets closer & closer as he runs for his treat. He also comes running to meet us when we pull in the driveway. So tonite, he did NOT come. I got pretty worried b/c he never doesnt come when we shake the treat box. Then i thought i heard him meowing from far away. I went out in the dark & searched & found him across the street, way inside some bushes. He couldnt get out & i couldnt get in. I had to drag him out & he was screaming the whole time. I got him in & saw a little blood on his lips & a little on his rt front paw. He kept trying to get up, but neither back legs work - & he was crying so pathetically. Ave was SCREAMING, "no no! Please dont die! OMG Mommy, i cant breath, is he dying???"

If he were mine, I would do the ortho surgery.
