Stella recovers her spunk

I have been sitting at work all day worrying about Stella. She seemed so small this morning and last night, like she didn’t feel good and didn’t want to be here any more. I called the vet and made an appointment for fluids because that usually helps her.

I also had The Conversation with the vet about knowing when it’s time to let your kitty go. I was very upset but pushed through it. Decided there was nothing I could do until I got home and saw how Stella was.

I got home to take Stella to the vet and she immediately woke up when I touched her tail. (Improvement #1!)

She pushed her head into my hand and rubbed all over my hand. She purred and pushed her head against me and wanted pettings pettings pettings now now now. (Improvement #2!) She played with a sock I trailed across the bet and then batted at me to pet her some more. Little kitty recovered her spunk 🙂

It’s not time yet, she’s saying (to a very relieved me). At some point soon it will be, but not today.

  • Basette update

    Quick note: the vet called this morning. Basette hasn’t improved. My regular vet wasn’t in today, so she asked another vet to call me. Her glucose levels had dipped low again last night, so she is still responding to the insulin. I’ll post again after I visit Basette. Related Images:

    One Last Purr

    Basette purred when I picked her up during the consultation with her vet this morning. We spoke candidly about the Little Black Wonder Cat(tm): treatment options, outlook, and chances for Basette to have a normal life. She had received regular fluids to flush toxins (side effect of the kidney disease). Her glucose levels, usually stabilized…
