Not a Good Day in the Neighborhood…

Last night Shell vomited on her bedding. This morning although there are three clean boxes to choose from, she missed the litter pan. The plus of this- the stool was solid and normal looking. This is her way of telling me that things are still rocky for her. Sometimes, I wish I could just jump into their heads and pull out what is wrong. She has no fever, she is drinking water, she is peeing in the pan, she is active this morning but not to active.

We have an appointment to see the vet tomorrow and there will another going with us. The new arrival, the white kitty isn’t looking to good. She has red drainage out of her eyes, she is hardly eating. She is a old girl and it looks like life has really beat her up. I don’t know if she is coming home or if she is going Home. Sometimes, this house is a transit station and they come here to spend their last days; to know comfort, warmth and love does exist and finally understand (I hope) that not all humans are evil, neglectful, abusive or apathetic. I don’t even have a name for her right now. I just call her sad.

Shell is back on her heated pad now. She had ducked under the bed when I first came in which isn’t like her. We had a nasty wind storm last night- lost a huge tree out in the pasture and I am hoping this might have been what unsettled her. I know it woke me up when it came down. It was right by our creek and the bank is soggy from all the rain, the roots finally gave way and it came crashing down. It went over backwards which means it didn’t hit any of the houses at the back of our property. It is just laying over our creek and back into the woods behind the creek. More rain predicted for all week so it will be awhile before I get the tree taken care of and removed. Maybe the beavers will help out in that department. You never know.

It’s Sunday- say a prayer for Shell and white kitty if you get a chance. I have to work today and won’t be home till late. My prayers will surround this house as always.

  1. prayers and purrayers coming your way…

    two steps forward, one step back…

    the fact that Shell is still alive is in itself a miracle. Solid poops is a great sign!

    Blessings also to sad white cat, whatever the outcome, and, of course to you!!

  2. Purrrrrss and purrrayers for Shell and that sad white kittie.

    Unless that tree is in someone’s way, it might be best to just leave it where it is. It has already done all the damage it is going to do falling.

  3. Oh MA, many many prayers and purrs going your way… Will be thinking of all of you, purring hard for everything to get better, and for a miracle for little sad kitty…

  4. Every night you and your kitties are in my prayers. The tree definately could have spooked her. when my cat, Goofy, sees the cat carrier brought in, even if it isn’t for him, he goes into a depression for the whole day.

    Love to white kitty and Shell and all the others and you. Will say some extra prayers today for all to be well with you and your sweet little ones.

  5. Sending large rumbly purrs for Shell and the White Cat. Strong winds can upset lots of animals. Our Oliver hates it when there’s a gale blowing. Hoping that Shell relaxes again soon. She’s been through so much there’s bound to be ups and downs as she recovers.
