all was going well she was walking fine & back to her old self talking to me & attacking the wife until last night when she could hardly walk with both her back legs going this time
shes going back in the vets tomorrow morning at 9am for x rays etc etc, vet has said she thinks its either cancer, a slipped disc or arthritis & that we should be prepared for the her to operate tomorrow
thank goodness for pet insurance

fk a duck! i had a follow up appt booked yesterday & it was them that rang me up & said can i bring her down first thing friday for x rays & operation was not my idea, so i cancel my plans for today run around like a mad man at 8am trying to catch her put her through all that stress for nothing
the wife had to stop me from going nuts at them (she just wanted to get tigger home & out of there)

i know what you mean im normally laid back as anything, all just really wound me up today
i woundnt have minded so much if they hadn't have made such a song & a dance about it all, for the vet herself to ring me thursday & say bring her in & im going to do this this & this for it all to amount to nothing is a piss take

well bit of a update x rays etc done yesterday the only thing the vet could find wrong was theres some small dark spots showing on the x rays along her spine, she had a antibiotic injection & got a weeks worth of pain killers, if shes still walking funny next monday then she has to go of for a mri scan
well she cant get up the stairs or on the bed so plenty of crying lasting from her for us to lift her up places she wants to go
the vet has said there just waiting on the last tests due back monday on weather its just in one leg or her spine aswell, spine is put her to sleep, leg is she losses it & if theirs no improvement or she goes down hill over weekend then put to sleep aswell

shes going down hill fast, think im going to ask the wife to ring the vets for you know what to be done
she was a great cat been my best friend for 8 years, i love cats so there no doubt about getting another
me & the wife have looked on the internet at kittens & the prices people want for a moggy is crazy, we are going to go down the cat protection league route as there's one local to us & if we can give one of there cats a home then some good can come of this

Well that was unexpected we looked at all the cats some real nice cats we made a list of 6 cats that we liked & where going round having another look then i saw a cat that i had missed before & we made friends & im pretty sure he just chose me & i chose him or the universe alined & i just knew that he was for me & i was for him
Meet sammy hes 4 years old & we pick him up in a few weeks time he purrs like a freight train
He has the cone of shame as hes now without his man bits
