I got some really sad news today, my 16 year old kitty is really sick. The vet isn't giving up, but he's not optimistic. I'm just crying that I'm over here, and she's in a vet clinic with no one she knows with her. I just wish I was there to comfort her and maybe say good-bye. ;(

Andelain, I am so sorry - that sounds very upsetting. I will send kitty lots of positive thoughts, and you as well, for that matter. Would give you a hug if I could ....

Andelain - I'm so very sorry that your kitty is so ill, and that you're not able to be with her right now. Dust and hugs to you both.

Sending dust to both you and your kitty. I'm so sorry. It's bad enough when your pet is sick, but I know it must feel awful to not be able to be with her.

That's the worst part, being afraid she'll die scared and wondering where I am. ;(

She's spoiled rotten. Even when I was gone months at a time she'd see me and walk right up into my arms purring. She liked to sleep across my neck when I was home.

I'm sorry Andelain. I believe in human/animal communication. If you can find a quiet spot to meditate and send her love, she will feel it and send it back and you will feel it too. Hugs to you both.

will your vet allow you to visit and/or spend a lot of time there with her?
our vet has allowed me to spend time in the ICU and did set aside a room for me in the evening in which I curled up on the floor with one or another of the cats...with a blanket, of course.

He would if I was in the same country, but I'm in Afghanistan.

opps, sort of slipped my mind.....
is there something of yours here in the states that a friend and/or relative could take to your dear kitty to comfort her?
I really am sorry you cannot be there for her.
but you have given her a wonderful loving life and have obligations to fulfill.
you and kitty will be in my thoughts.

I'm crying for you both. I know her illness is very difficult for you on many levels, but especially on this level.

And what MZ said - is there some way someone close to you can visit with your kitty - and maybe bring an article of clothing or blanket or something that would remind her of her home and of you?

Dust for your kitty!

My kitty is epileptic and he has episodes where the meds can't keep it under control. Whenever he is at the vet overnight the techs really go all out to make sure he feels safe and comfortable. I'm sure the wonderful people at the vet clinic are giving your kitty lots of love.

That is so difficult! ;(

This might seem like a silly question/suggestion, but is there anyway you could facetime with your kitty via the vet? I am thinking she would at least recognize your voice and perhaps be a bit comforted.

As someone else who has a 16 year old kitty with health issues I empathise with what you must be feeling and I am sending good thoughts and big hugs.

Oh Andelain, I am so sorry about your sick kitty and I am sending bucket loads of PS dust her way and healing vibes for her recovery. And big(((hugs))) your way too. I like hlmr's suggestion of using Skype or something for face time with your kitty. That might be very soothing for her.

Lots of healthy kitty dust and big hugs headed your way!

If you don't have anyone able to take a shirt of yours in to the vet, can you ship one there for her? I'm sure she'd enjoy snuggling up with something of yours even if you can't be there in person.

Oh this is so sad, your poor kitty. Just when you've had so many hard times. Hugs to you and your sweet kitty.
I love the ideas of FaceTime or someone bringing her something of yours to snuggle.

I was away from home when my best friend cat died, it was bloody hard. I still miss him. :blackeye:
