My Kitty is all better!

Sorry I haven't been around too much. My little cat that we got last June got really sick this week. He was in the hospital almost 4 days. Apparently he had a severe reaction to a bee sting. Somehow a bee got into our house. He vomited about 15 times and didn't eat for almost 4 days, which is very dangerous for cats. Anymore than that and they can die. The whole ordeal cost us about $1200. I had to cancel my therapy appointments because we have to make up for this financial blow.

Now the little guy is just about all better. He's running around bugging the dog and eating his regular food finally. It took us a few days of nursing him at how to get him eating regularly. The poor little guy has been through so much. I'm trying to give him all the love he missed out on in the hospital. He's so happy to be back home! The dog isn't so happy, though.

Anyway, that's been my week. It's a miracle the little guy is even alive. Sorry for my absence. I'll try to be around more in the next few days.

Love,

Maria

i'm so glad your kitty is ok! pets are such a part of the family. i am so glad you all are through the ordeal now! if you cancel appointments, does it make a big difference for you? if so, do you think you could maybe just cancel half of them or talk to your therapist about financing? i just want you to be healthy too. just being a mom. glad everyone is ok now!

Maria,

I am so glad to hear that your kitty is doing okay now I know how horrible you must have felt seeing your baby going thru such a hard time my theroy is that pets are not just pets but a member of the family, I know with my Lola when she is ill I feel like crap she is hurt right now her hind leg and I feel so bad cause she is such a trooper but I know that she will be fine...

I just wanted to tell you that I am glad the kitty is okay I know the vet bills can be horrible by chance do you have pet insurance? I was thinking about getting it but I cant right now since I am moving and I can not take lola with me but the good news is shehas a great hiome to go to with my friends father who lives on like 12 acres of land and he also is the owner of lolas father so that will be good that she will be with another dog.

Take care hun,

Erin

Hi Maria,

I'm glad to hear your kitty is ok! I posted here a few months ago and I remember you helping me each time when I posted. Well, I was just lurking as I sometimes do and your post caught my eye. I also love my kitty very much. I even created a website for him. If you would like to see it and the love I share with him please take a look:

I don't post that often but do come to the board occasionally since I can relate to what most of everyone goes through. Take care all, Lisa

Hi Maria, its good to hear that everything worked out for the best in the end. Im sure your dog likes your cat at least a little! When my dog passed away, my cat was always looking for her. It was so sad and so sweet. Anyways its nice to know that your kitty is fine. Take care!
