I am so so happy for you both! Give your kitty a great big hug from me!

.

He twitches alot, most likely from the drugs he was on.

I gotta feed him this stuff once a day for a few days and then i can use his dry food and work slowly to normal. He's on my bed, he loves my bed, or atleast my duvet. I guess he will be sleeping with me again.

Once a day i gotta give him half a tablet of 2 pills, and some stuff for in his mouth. It's gonna be fun forcing this down his throat, this is for a week only. He had to look at the house all over again, and see if there was anything new.

The vets at the beginning asked if him being skinny is new, which it was, he's always been a skinny cat, and always will be. He's also extremly flexible.


Thanks you guys for the good thoughts.

You mean your house can supply a maximum of 60 amps of power overall?
Because that it /not very much/. Especially if you're in one of those countries that uses 120 volts instead of 240.

60 amps * 120 volts = 7200 watts (I think, last time I used this was in year 10 at school :/ )

Yes, we are well below todays standards.

hi Tommo, yay for us.

no, the last time I took hallucinogens, I was 17 and at a massive outdoor nightime party up in some hills. Talk about scary movie...I revisited that experience only once but in a different setting. Yeah I am over hallucinogens...

No, I have become really aware of things in the last several years and this year is a big year of changes...I am finally becoming myself or something. What's mindblowing is my fascination with something like a fast track perspective, its really weird but ever so interesting.

You mean lymph nodes right? Anyway, good to hear mate!
Also I'd like to take this opportunity to say, don't go back to the same old cat food. Feed your cat fish and meat and milk (if it likes it) and some veggies. All those commercial pet foods are terrible for your animals.
Even the expensive ones, which they say are gourmet or whatever, just total crap. Really not good for your pet. There's a couple of ones you can get from the Vet which are OK (obviously the medicinal ones are a different story, they are for rare circumstances, like the liver foods for example, they're fine) but almost any pet food you would get from the supermarket is utter crap and they aren't meat at all. Which is what they need.
Also, there's this pet food with Hemp seed oil in it. VERY good. Try it out, if you can get it where you live. Your cat will love you for it.

Hmmmm.... This thread is dead now so would you like to explain what this "something like a fast track perspective" is? Never heard of it.
Sorry bout your bad trips too.

well, i feel i see everyday happenings kind of constantly coming at me, and I am slightly uninvolved on some level, kind of taking it all in...and then the consequences and results have seemed to accelerate.

I don't feel the same push to get too involved with others but its like they are flying at me, i take in the whatever of the moment, and keep moving through situations rapidly whilst absorbing the cause and effects in a stream of nutshells. Its weird and dynamic. I think I'm heading into a very different type of relationship and environment and its like I had to get up to speed to be able to access it.

Yeah well that's how I best can explain it

I've had to become comfortable with my biases and not so good sides whilst be accepting of others point of views - something like, that contrasts can coexist. I've become more comfortable with the idea of people not liking me but have found it kind of annoying that people now seem to like me more. What I saw as my deficits are now seeming like they are strengths. Its like I'm finally beginning to understand, just when i don't give a s*it.

So yeah, the fast tracking feels like I am on a crash course to get up to speed but i don't know why.

This is true, not only can contrasts co-exist, but they cannot not coexist.
Where there is hills there must be valleys.
I went through that acceptance that people not liking me thing too. Then I realised just being whatever I am, people like me anyway. I wish more people could see this.

Even though he's back and gotta medicate him for a week, he seems so.....different. He's even whined several times, a different hurt kind of whine. I know he's recovering, but i figured he would be back to himself within a few days. :/ All he basically does is lay there all day with a sad face, and walks so slow. Maybe something else is wrong with him? but for 25 hundread dollars the problem should be fixed.

Today i woke up with him laying on my ass on my bed lol. :/

LOL!!

He's been through a lot in the last few days.. give him some time. If he seems in pain.. ask the vet if there's something that you can give him to make him more comfortable while he's recovering.

That's nothing. Sometimes he sleeps between my legs with his head on my ass when i'm on my stomach, or on my dads chest, or on his legs. That cat sleeps anyway he wants, and everyway. I don't even feel him jump on my bed, but when i wake up i normally can feel him. I don't even think cats do that, do they? my dog when she was alive used to always sleep either on the floor or next to me which is normal. Sometimes i gave her some covers and kept her warm lol.


Yeah i suppose i should wait past 3 days. But still, he's barely had any improvement.

2009 has been f-ing sweet! You all are just looking back at 2008 with nostalgia. Trust me it sucked.

But anyways, ya 2009 has been amazing. Just look at all the good that's happened this year, from federal funding of stem cell research to the video of that kid high out of his mind after going to the dentist.

He's dead now, he was put down in my arms almost an hour ago. He went back to the vets (a different vets) because he was not eating, he died of FIP and was the first cat to die of fip at this vets, before this they only heard of cats dieing of it, now they had their first case of it. HE WAS ONLY FUCKIN 4 YEARS OLD MOTHER FUCKER!!!!!!!!! anyway his lifeless eyes stared into my eyes...i could barely breathe i was crying so hard, and my crying forced me to stop breathing for like 5 seconds every few seconds.

Aww man, I'm sorry to hear that, I know how it feels to lose pets and there isn't much I can say to help since we don't know each other, but I hope you get through okay.

Life took him, life is a murderer!

There is no evidence or anything for an afterlife, as much as it pains me...i wish there was, it would make losing a pet so much more easy to handle. Oh how i wish i knew what happens after you die....i will find out one day.

Sorry to hear mate. Strange seeing that happen huh?

EDIT: OMG CLAIRITY! That is such a sad animation.... VERY close to crying lol

Yeah, it's sad...i went laying on my bed staring into space thinking about him, then poof i fall asleep, now i am wishing this was all just a dream. Life goes on, though. I'll die, life would still go on. There are no words to describe the feeling of watching your pet die IN YOUR ARMS! i was holding him, saw him lick his mouth, then that is all...then just looking at 1 spot and watching him die. One of the hardest expierience you will ever go through. My boss wont even let me take the day off so i can have some cry time because nobody to take over for me. I wanna quit gaming so i can try and see my pets again, like OBE, LD, anything....but that's just my emotionms getting the better of me.

The year is hardly half-over. I think it's been decent so far.

Things will be MUCH better once i get kitty's ashes back. I was going in withdrawl untill my dogs ashes came back...i considered it, and felt like she was home. It will be the same with Yukons ashes....it's still so weird, and i can't get the picture of him out of my head. I was so choked up, my dad had to take the cat from me, then i took the cat back, the head rolled all over the place like butter. If there is a heaven, i wonder what he is doing now. I am not scarred for life, but that picture i saw in the small room where Yukon last was will haunt my mind off and on for the rest of my life, just like the other picture when i almost killed a guy when we were young and dumb and an apartment building garage door. Also my dog laying lifeless on the basement floor.


Atleast i learned something...i asked how long untill Riggor Mortis kicked in, he said a few hours. In the day he went to the vets (bill is about $1000 :/ ), he lost a huge amount of weight...his sides were nothing but bone...you could feel his rib cage as much as you could feel his spine. Yeah...it was time to let him die. I've spent 3500 on him just to put him down in the end.

How long does it take a cat to die die from being put to sleep? the brain shutting down and all.

You thinking she could still be alive? I was thinking that too when my dog got put down. I kept checking the blanket she was wrapped in to make sure before we buried her. I'm pretty sure it's instant. Well, like 10 seconds or so for them to go to sleep and then brain would die within 5 minutes. The brain starts to die after oxygen deprivation which is 3 minutes.

Just did a moment of silence at the moment of his death 1 day anniversary, all day long and i mean ALL DAY i could not get the image of the room out of my head, even when i was talking to people, all i could think about was that room, the needle putting the death into him twice, him licking his chops as the last thing he ever did, then watching as his life was taken from him, then my heart raced so fast and my face got deep red as i saw he was gone...he was gone, gone...GONE!!!! oh man, he was gone. He died in my arms, it felt like i was just holding him, then i got stabbed by one of the sharpest pains i have ever felt in my chest, my heart was then ripped out. A piece of me died that day i saw him in my arms with no life, no nothing because he was gone....Goodbye Yukon, please don't be mad that i had to let you go, it was the last possible thing i could ever do to save you from total pain that you were suffering from all of this, although the vets said he was not suffering at all before we put him to sleep. I don't even know if he knew who we were, he was so filled with drugs. I'm off to go cry now, and i hope Yukon is somewhere enjoying himself, he deserves it.

Thanks all for the support, well wishes over this thing for me and him.
