Kitteh. The Kitteh Who Could.

I spoke with the doctor during the week and Kitteh is responding so well to the medicine. The tumor has shrunk tremendously! The one concern doctor has though is Kitteh is not eating still poor guy, he is hovering around 10/11 lbs.

I expressed to doctor again that I didnt want to disturb Kitteh's treatment by visiting, and he understood completely, but he said it would be ok.

Only two more weeks of chemo. Blood panel results back today.

So yesterday, I visited my boy!! It has been a couple of months since we have seen each other and I was nervous, but I went over to the hospital. I gathered my courage and trust and went to give him lots of lovies. All the lovies I have had stored up for months. Once I made up mymind that it would be ok, I couldn't wait to leave work to see him. I felt like I was going to see a longtime friend.

When I arrived, I told the girls I didnt want to bother anyone but I was hoping to see Kitteh. The doctor was swamped.

The Office Manager, and animal/Kitteh whisperer (every morning and night, she goes in to see him and gives him tons of love and attention) brought him in to the exam room for me and my boy and I had an hour plus together!

At first, he was agitated and wasn't sure what was going in or who I was. He was to busy running around the room, smelling the smells, and listening to everything that was going on outside the door. I picked him up gently and put him on the exam table. I was so afraid I would hurt him. He is sooo thin. The office manager put a fluffy towel on the table so he would be more comfortable and it would be warmer.

I couldn't stop loving him and kissing him and talking to him and explaining we had to put some weight on him (Buba's matzo ball soup and some brisket ) . His eyes were a bit cloudy and unfocused because I think he was still listening to everything outside the room.

But he finally focused on me and realized it was me! Then his eyes cleared, he became more animated yet calm, was headbutting me, licked my hands, let me love on him and pet him...for about 45 mjnutes we just hung out together. At one point even, he perked up more, and was his funny self. He does these little things that make me laugh. The more I laugh, the more he does it, too!

(wiping happy tears from my eyes now)

I didnt want to wear him out, so after about an hour+, I left my boy to the good care of the doctor and staff and made my way home.

I smiled the whole way.

I did worry a bit and I kept reminding myself he is in good hands and we will be together again at home very soon.

Gosh I love him so much. Little sucker, he made his way into my heart, and he is such a part of me and my life. God willing he comes home. xx

Oh Rose! I have tears on my eyes reading your post! I'm going to admit that when I first saw you had posted about him I was afraid it was bad news. This is sooooo great!

It helps soo much that you understand. And it means soo much to me that you are keeping Kitteh in thoughts and prayers.

I am still in tears writing this. Happy, hopeful, grateful tears. For you guys and support and for Kitteh! Love.

Rose!!!

I'm so happy to hear this news, the tummor is shrinking!!!

And you got to visit!!

Absolutely, Rose and Kitteh!! From Anneo59, and furbabies Cleo, Sweetie, and Kenny!

Tho I dont know u Rose I totally understand, I am crying Im so happy that 1. its looking good and 2. you saw him. You r SO brave. U have spent so long without him, to help him, all for him. I cant stand a minute away from my furboy so god bless u and keep u strong. I TRULY hope he gets fixed and is home to his adoring mum soon Huge hugs to u and him

This situation you're both facing has really pulled on my heart. Mega tears in my eyes. How I feel for you.

All I can say is that I believe love is a very powerful force. I know he felt it coming from you. I'm so glad he recognized you and responded to you and got a little break from his long battle.

Continuing to reach out to you, with best thoughts and strongest hopes for you both...OOOOXO

Rose, the love that you show when your with Kitteh radiates! He knows. The hour that you were able to spend with him meant to him as much as it did to you. There is a connection you share that is truly heartfelt. I'm soo happy he is doing well. It sounds very positive. He feels very loved.
warm thoughts

Oh Rose......happy tears I'm having from hearing that Kitteh is doing so well at this point. I know the stress you have been going through with this.....have gone through it with my eskies. When we hear good news & see positive results & feel the hope we've been praying for.....there is no more wonderful feeling in this world IMO. It's good that he was healthy in the first place & had the health for his body to draw from.

Glad you took the chance to go & visit...I know how much really does give our 4 legged family.....even though they are surrounded by all the loving people at the vet, I have seen where my babies seem to have a renewed energy & not feel like they have been deserted by their mommy.....especially Leo who has separation anxiety issues being away from me anyway. It's amazing the emotional attachment feelings they have toward us that we don't always recognize is possible.

Tears are streaming down my face for your kind, heart-felt loving responses and support. I know I keep saying it over and over but you have no idea how much your kindness, compassion, understanding and love means to me. It truly keeps me going and helps me to remain positive and optimistic and hopeful.

I hope that your cat is comfortable and is enjoying himself. The good thing about feline cancer patients is that they don't get anxiety over their diagnosis, they're just existing in the current moment, all the time.

Hi Rose, hope you doing ok, w Kitteh's passing. Know how hard that can be. Was just thinking of you the other day. Had a friend whose baby passed, and a rescue came her way, a sort of karma, cuz she was not ready. The rescue has not replaced her other baby, but the situation is better for all. Not that this would fit yours. Just made me think of you, when my friend told me. Take care!

Thank you ((((Anneo)))) I really miss him. He was definitely one of a kind I am struggling a lot right now, because for as pitiful as this sounds (reads), it seems as if almost everyone I love dies unexpectedly or prematurely. It breaks my heart.

Sorry, Rose, that you are hurting so deeply. I hope you get some relief soon. I've been feeling the same way lately. I have 3 friends right now that are in danger of passing at any moment and there is nothing I can do about. And they are all younger than me. It pains me to see the pain they are going through. So, I'm sorry for your losses. Take care of yourself.

No Rose, I can believe that. I have a sister who has and is feeling that way. I can't imagine, tho I've had some bereavement. But know you are still loved by many who are left behind. Take care of yourself, my friend!!!!
