    Default My poor cat!

    My cat, Cory, came home yesterday dragging his hind legs. He could barely hobble through the door. I rushed him to the emergency vet and it turns out he has a broken pelvis. They're going to operate on him tomorrow. I'm an absolute mess over this. This cat is the greatest cat ever. I know everybody says this about their cats, but he really is a special one. He's been through so much with me. Anyway, it's going to cost me well over $1000, but I can't give up on him yet. He's still young (6 yrs), healthy and strong, with so much life left in him. Anyway, if ya'll would please send out some positive thoughts and prayers for him that would be wonderful. Thanks everyone.

    Sweetie, I'm so sorry that's really messed up. Well, be happy you have the $ to fix him, a few years ago I had to watch one of my cats pass away due to a procedure I couldn't afford.
    Good luck, I'm sure he'll heal up just fine!

    Thank you all so much. It helps just to have a little support. I have to be at the vet at 8 am, but I can't sleep because I'm so worried. I'll give an update tomorrow.

    Oh my god, Jessica--your baby looks so much like my cat Sunny--had him for 20 years before having to put him to sleep. I grew up with that cat, and he saw his share of bumps and bruises, too.

    I'm sure your baby will be fine. You are getting him the best care, and he will heal up in no time. Positive vibrations going out to your sweet kitty! Don't worry, mama!

    I am so glad you are able to help your beloved kitty!

    After his recovery, maybe you'll want to keep him as an indoor-only kitty?

    hang in there!

    *Hugs*

    I know you're at the vet right now. I hope everything turns out alright for your baby.

    Good luck and you are both in my (and my cats') prayers.

    Hugs Jessica.

    He's in surgery right now.... They had to squeeze him in late this afternoon cause they had so many scheduled surgeries. Anyway, he was ok this morning, not in much pain at least from the morphine drip.... I'm just waiting to hear back from the vet now.

    As the majority of the board is well aware, I can empathise to a certain extent.

    Whilst all my energy is going towards my own cat ATM I will take a moment now to send some "healing" energy to your cat.

    I can DEFINATELY empathise in re: thinking the cat is the best thing in the world. Mine is a Queen and I love/adore her immensely. So yes I can empathise.

    I send much love towards all the recuperating felines of SW. They're such wonderful friends. I don't know what I'd do without my little boo-boo.

    Thank you everyone for all the kind words. GoldCoastGirl, I just finished reading your thread on Bibs and had a good long cry. My heart goes out to you. It's amazing how much love, money, time, and energy we spend on our pets. And still it feels as though they give us back so much more in return. Cory's operation went well, although he has a long period of healing ahead of him and he's not out of the danger zone yet. He will stay at the vet for the next few days at least, but I will visit of course.
    I can't even imagine what happened to him in the first place. We live in a rural area, and the direction he came from was out by the cow pasture/barn/woods. So he was not hit by a car or anything. We have speculated that it could have been anything from falling off the rafters in the barn, to being kicked by a cow, to lord only knows what. I guess he's the only one who will ever know for sure. Either way, I'd like to keep him inside from now on, as I've tried to do in the past, but he's a country cat at heart and I know he's happiest when he can be outside. With any luck when he recovers he'll be more cautious and prefer to stay safely in the house. Here's hoping.
