Sugar

I don't even know what to say about Sugar.  I'm just so super stressed and down in the mouth about it.  She got up into my box of embroidery thread and ate a good long chunk of it.  Then puked bile and about half of the string.  When I pulled on it, it wouldn't budge.  So I knew it was deep.  Shit. I was going to "wait it out, give her some vaseline, see if she would pass it.  But two vets told me over the phone that I better bring her in pronto.  So, I did.  It was the right thing to do.  But $2000 later, I wonder if it would have been kinder to euthanize her.  She's 11.  Has been dropping weight.  And the vet says her liver looked strange.


So as of this writing, I have a senior cat recovering from major abdominal surgery, a huge Capital One bill, and a full-time job, so I cannot babysit her, nor can I afford to board her.  And I just want to bring her home, so she can sit in my lap and be told sweet things.  Because I made a promise to care for her when I adopted her.  And she's my cat.
This sucks so bad.

  2. I'm so sorry about your dear kitty. Ours did the same thing. In our case the needle did pass. The doctor gave her something that wrapped around the needle. We were told to check her poop, and sure enough she did pass it. Your kitty's needle may have poked in so that she couldn't pass it. I'm sure hoping she gets better. Oh, I must add, I am a person who has automatic music on my blog. I just like pretty songs. I don't make a dime off my blog. It's just about my life, farm, kids, and thoughts. Blessings, Kathi
