I went to visit her, I got to stay with her for an hour. She was so happy. We haven't seen each other in almost a week. She was purring so hard she was choking.
I won't know anything until 4pm tomorrow.
I don't think I am going to work tomorrow, I feel like shit.

oh nooo and wow it costs alot to patch up a rat hahaha sometimes the death stare is funny. looks like their eyes gunna explode outta their head haha im horrible.. well this rat dont have any competition.. that she knows of haha theres two bunnys outside and a dog X3 i wana see her rage face at my dog
awwwww >< yea my gerbils life ended tragically... the dog i told you got put down...got ahold of her... and i found her under my bed after searching the whole house for her. ohhhh boy i was balling my eyes out. I WANTED TO KILL THAT DOG lol i have no damn clue how he got her. someone must have left the cage open some how
Yeah, I haven't been at home without her for this long, it's very strange. I always think I see her out of the corner of my eye, but it's just something that is about her size and color. x3 I can't imagine what it's like for her, to be somewhere weird and to have people poking at her every day. :(
My kitty has a mass in her stomach. They don't know what it is, and tomorrow they are going to do surgery. If they can remove it, they will, but if they can't, they will put her to sleep.
She has been at the vet since last Friday for a parasite. On Monday, the vet discovered the lump in her stomach. :(

Nothing that I can't get over.... but it's hard to when you know that your finacee is still friends with the one person you hurt and so they can no longer trust you....
But they have known each other longer than i have ... so it's only fair they keep being friends.... i just miss this persons friendship.... but what i did to him.... it hurts even more

I've got a problem [well kinda] with one of my cats right now.
He's got two little bumps under his skin, BB pellet sized. They could be cysts but I'm not sure. I just hope it's curable.
So I know how you feel about this kinda thing.
I'm sure she'll be fine. This is the.. third? time she's been in there? She's pulled through every time, too :)

I'm not sure, because I am not a vet, but it sounds like it could be a few simple things. One is cysts, like you said. The other thing I can think of off the top of my head is...can it be a tick head? Sometimes, when a tick bites an animal and gets torn off, it leaves the head under the skin, and that turns into a hard lump about that size.
Where is it located? If it's on the ear, it might be something like aural hematoma, or cauliflower ear. I had a dog who had it. It's relatively harmless.
I hope it's something simple!!

Yep!
"A feline cyst is a small bump that can be felt through the skin. Cysts can be caused by a number of things and are often harmless, but it’s best to have them checked out by your veterinarian to make sure.
They may develop as a result of an infection, a clogged oil duct, or a foreign body in the skin (such as a splinter). Cysts can be composed of dead cells, fluid, or semi-fluid matter."
I think my cat may have a Sebaceous cyst, which is one of many kinds of cysts.
Sebaceous Cysts (epidermal inclusion cysts) - this is the most common type of cyst in cats and appears anywhere on your cat's body. The cysts can be up to 1 inch in size and needs drainage to avoid infection (it is filled with a something called sebum). They are usually benign (not cancerous).
Thank you! C:

*gives you a hug* i had to put mine dog to sleep 9 months ago becouse she had health problems who could not be treated ...it was a bit sudden...she not felt that bad day erlier and on next day i had to take her to a vet to help her not suffer
i hope you be ok *hugs you tightly*
i hope you be ok *hugs you tightly*
I can't stop crying each time I see her photo; it's not my pet but already love her as if it were.
I wish I could do more than praying. I full well know how do you feel. I used to adopt stray, mistreated cats, and seeing them at the vet, with surgeries, remembering them.
I really hope and wish things go for the better; I also wish I could give you a hug, be more useful.

I'm glad to hear they allowed you to visit her, darling... and I sure hope that by this time tomorrow, I'll be reading the very happy news that her operation has gone well and you can bring her home again
*leans in and presses a cute little kitty smooch on Duchess' nose*
Get well, beautiful... you're only halfway through your life, you can't go yet as you still have ten years ahead of you at least. Dream of yarn balls and catnip mousies during your anastethic, sweetie, and they will be waiting for you when you wake up again
*smiles*
And right at this moment, Toby is in my lap right behind the keyboard sending you a bunch of get well soon purrs, Duchie. We're both praying for you

You are so very welcome, darling... I know I can't offer much more than comforting words on a computer screen, but I a glad to know that they still help a little bit in giving you a bit of comfort

This picture (and the other ones in your gallery) really illustrate the strong love you had for your kitty. I had a kitty just like her (he looked just like her, too!), and it utterly crushed me because I had him for a short time (about 3-4 years from birth) before I suddenly had to put him down due to his lungs collapsing. I raised him from a kitten! My cat was my world to me and losing him was the saddest day of my life. I assume it is the same for you to Duchess. She's been with you for a long while, hasn't she?
The next following weeks (maybe even months) will be hard, but you just have to tell yourself that these things happen and unfortunately, sometimes there's just nothing you can do about it. You tried your damn hardest, but death...is just as prevalent as death. She lived a very long and prosperous life (14 years!), where you swaddled her in unconditional love, right up to the end. She couldn't have asked for anything more! Just remember that...even though she's gone, you did the very best for that cat. You and her lived 14 years of symbiotic love and blissful happiness and that is a feat amongst itself. She died knowing she was lovingly cared for.
My kitty died back in 2007, but I still cry when I think of him. But I just try to focus not so much on the staggering death, but the colourful life we had together. Same with Duchess. It's hard. It's crippling sometimes. It's always okay to cry, and that hole left there takes a dang long time to heal, but her death is also a time to celebrate. she really couldn't have been a happier kitty, and you should feel comfort in knowing that you gave her the best life you did and she loved you for it.
Stay strong!

I'm so sorry to hear that that happened to you and your kitty...
Yeah, I had Duchess for 13 awesome years. I adopted her from a shelter when she was about 1 year old.
I'm still getting tricked by folds in the blanket, thinking she's sleeping there, and it's always weird to remember that she is gone. I'm going to miss her...I don't think I'll ever share that kind of bond with a cat again.
I still cry about all the pets I've lost...I used to think I was being ridiculous, but thanks to others like you, now I realize that not only is that common, but it's alright. Animals can become like family members -- I dare say even closer, because you are never ashamed of yourself when you are with a pet. You and your pet can share a bond closer than you can with a human being -- I mean, I used to hug Duchess while I slept, how many people can you do that with, and not have it be weird? xD
But it felt so good to know I wasn't alone, and now that I am, nights are a little hard...I have a hard time getting to sleep. :(
I'll never forget her...but I am starting to at least feel a little better. :)
Thank you for your kind words. It means a lot to me!! *Hugs you!*
