Hi everybody. I've spent most of the morning crying. I cried at first because she wouldn't eat. When I got home I gave her her meds and then waited 45 minutes before I presented her with a kitty buffet which consisted of some shredded chicken, some Wellness Healthy Indugence and some Merrick Before Grains Quail and CHicken. a couple of teaspoons all together. She just looked at it and turned her head and then her whole body away. I thought OK I'll just leave her for awhile and go do so things I needed to do. All the time I was out of the room I cried. I was thinking that maybe it is her time and that she's trying to tell me. I cried thinking about what life will be like without her and how much I love her. I thought about maybe I should push for a feeding tube even though that would cause a major blowup in my family . I cried thinking of how some of the decisions I have made for her are what have brought us to this. After awhile I went back and just held her and told her how much I love her. Some of you may know I always cradle Tori in my arms like a baby even when I test her. I always have ever since she was a baby. She purred and purred and I let the tears roll down my cheeks. Then I asked her to try and eat. I told her I wouldn't make her but I wanted her to try. I sat beside her and petted her and sang to her. She didn't do anything until I put some of the food on my hand and then she started to eat. It took over a 1/2 hour but she ate it all that way. I went and got some more the quail and chicken and she ate that too. She ate about half the small can. Of course I cried some more.
After she finished eating I gave her her fluids. She laid so still not moving at all. I sang to her and it was so cute she started meowing along while I sang which of course mad me blubber even more. After wards we cuddled again for awhile until she decided she wanted to have a well earned nap.
This morning has been so special and precious for me. Is this a turnaround for her? I can't even guess. She has so many things going on right now. All I know is this morning meant the world to me. Please say a prayer that she will continue to eat for me. Anyway I just needed to share this with the people I know will all understand.
I'm going to go to bed now. It feels like I've been up forever- mind you I have been awake since 2 yesterday afternoon. Will check in later. Have a good day everybody. My prayers are with all our kitties who aren't feeling well and the beans who love them.
