Today is Sunday, Panda only coughed once last night, I played with him alittle he still wants to play. I only played alittle bit I didnt want to get him to worked up. Right now I'm listening to Elvis 's gospel c.d. I 've always loved his gospel.

Hows is going Julie? Are the babies ok? I am so sorry your going thru this. HUGS

Well had more fluid taken out thursday of this week, vet informed me that this procedure is hard on the cat because he has to hold him down and the more handle of him the more risk there is of him dying. The vet also said to me he doesnt see the point in keeping the cat around.Because the fluid is producing to fast.
I told him as long as Pandas quality of life is good I have a problem with putting him down. He said your the boss, let me know when you have had enough, I realy didnt appreciatethat commetn. So needless to say I'm not really happy with my vet at the moment alittle compasion would be nice. Like I've never gone through anything like this before, and I want to be doing the right thing here. Get aload of this some of you will probably think I'm nuts for doing this. I've contacted a animal commuicator, her name is Amanda De Warren from Australia, just in the process of getting a consultaion, shes been compared to John Edwards, I'm so desprite for answers that I thought I would ask Panda what he wants me to do? And maybe there will be better closure in the end, Im hoping I get an appointment before Panda goes down hill, because in my mind right now I've decided to quit taking fluid from his chest which will mean there will be nothing we can do for him at all which means I will have to put him down.Taken the fluid This time around I think it has taken a toll on him, I see it. I've been struggling to do the right thing. I thought taking the fluid thing would help him relive his breathing until he was ready to go, but the fluid is producing so
to fast and the vet doesnt want to do the procedure so close together, so that is where things stand. The vet said he would probably be good for about 7-10 days. So I have been sleeping on the couch with him near by tonight I made him a bed out of a duet so its right level to the couch, so him and I have been camping out all week in the living room and all weekend to I'm back on days next week 10hr days 4 days fridays off. So I wont be able to spend to much time with him next week so I might be on the couch again for the week , just want to be with my boy and so he knows I'm right near by if he needs me. Because I know my time with him is coming to end soon. Iv'e talked to my forman at work about it and he said I can have the time off when needed which is so nice, I will be taking vac time because I cant afford to be off. Strike in states is really causing alot of up set and I just hope I dont get layed off. So the thougths keep running through my mind and either way you look at it, it is very upsetting, I will really need prayers that I be strong when it comes to the day. It worries me the after affect of the whole thing and what it is going to do to me. I will miss him dearly and the whole thing just breaks my heart. Thank you all for your support and prayers.

I am so sorry Julie...I wish there was something I could do or say to make things better. The poor baby You will do the right thing when it comes down to it, he ll you already are. Your a great mom. Again, my thoughts and prayers to you. Hang in there hun..And you too lil guy. Gah thats heartbreaking

Sorry your vet is being insensitive, thats the last thing you need. On the other hand, your boss sounds cool. Thats a plus.

HUGS

Thanks syd, I took my boy outside today to roam the grounds its so nice here today, he liked that, my appointment with Amanada De Warren is Sunday at 6pm,Trying to work out a time was funny because of the time difference. I'm not sure how it works but it will be interesting I'm sure. I will have to call her and be on the phone 30 min to austrailia going to cost me a fortune. Oh well..........

I had my reading with Amanda De Warren Wow, I got the answers I needed to here, and I was right, Panda isnt ready to be put down yet, his quality of life is still good, those were his words. She said he has 3 tumours a big one and two little ones. He wants us to continue taking fluid when needed. As for going any further, there would be no point, like treatment of the tumours, he doesn't want to go through that. 4 of my cats came through, she said Panda let them come through the nice guy that he is. Trixie pretty much pushed her way through, she talked about trixie's front left paw, she has two stretched tensions in each front paw. She nailed Trixie to a tee, I might put her on some pain med. Trixie said she can deal with it. Ralphy came through with his kidney, he has some discomfort but nothing to worry about, both him and Trixie are going to be here for awhile yet. Panda's brother came through, he said he didnt want his brother to suffer and he said he was fine nothing was wrong with him. He noticed there was something wrong with his brother 4 weeks ago. She said Panda wasnt suffering, just alittle discomfort. She got us in so quick, because she had a feeling that it was urgent, she said today was her day off and she was booked, so I was very appreciated and so happy she got me in. She is going to send us the tape of the reading, she said that a felmale on my moms side said she would look after the souls of all my cats when they pass, Panda's spirit will always be with me when he does pass. All the cats love us. She said Panda s time is soon but not now, and we will know. She said Panda doesnt want canned cat food anymore he wants fresh food because of his digestive system. She said Panda is a loving and gentle cat, hes demanding and sometimes pushes the other cats to the side. She said Panda is a spring chicken, even though he is 16 he doesnt seem like it. There was alot more, but just cant think right now, I was upset during it of course. Cyndi was taking notes. Cyndi asked about Sparky he was the first cat to go, she said it was quick and he didnt suffer. I thought she was pretty good, I will have to listen to the tape when I get it. I would use her again even though she is in Australia, the time difference is something, it was 8am there and 6pm here, Monday there and Sunday here, crazy. So now I will have to deal with my vet, the next time Panda needs fluid taken out, oh well thats what Panda wants, I will do what ever he wants. I would of never of thought of going and having a reading done to find out the answers. There will be more of a peace I think now when it is Panda s time, knowing what I know, no regrets.

I've been taking Panda outside when its been nice. We were in the back yard and a bunny came out from where I was standing so of course Panda went chasing it. Good thing we werent out the front of house, so now I keep him in the back yard for sure. So yep he's still got alot of get up and go.

Ralphy had to go back to the vet, he hasnt been himself, he said we had to give him 18 syringes of water daily orally instead of 12. We've done that for a couple of days now, he seems alittle more purky but he still isnt purring. RAlphy is the one with kidney disease.

Panda, I had him back to the vet on Friday to have more fluid taken out. This time I stayed right with him while they did it. I had my hands around his head, while rubbing him and talking to him the whole time, he didnt move at all which was really great, because last time they did it he struggled with them which is very risky for him when he does that. So from now on I will be going in with him. He still is very frisky and playful, he was chasing a rabbit last thursday when I had him outside. So he is still pretty good, he hasnt lost any weight so he is maintaing. I was really proud of him he did so well at vet. I had him out side yesterday twice and today twice its been so nice here. I'm thinking if Ralphy doesnt get back to him self soon I might get another reading done, with someone from Ontario possibly I really liked Amanda but it would be nice to compare the two, I really need to tell RAlphy he needs to drink more and eat his food other wise he is going to get sick. And I would like to know when we talk to our animals at home do they understand us. And there is some other questions I need to ask about the other cats, but so far with Panda he is good for now. And I'm spending as much time as I can with him. Last night I slep on air mattress in living room, because when he came home from vet it usually takes him a couple of days to get back to normal eating and what not, I was alittle concerned this time, so in the morning he came and woke me up, and then he layed down with me for a bit and he started eating his dry food so I knew he was ok today. Thats all for now

put your cat on a water pill ,warm beams of white light rays put perfect health in your loved one ,what are you going to do when your cat is so healthy ,and goes out side again? will you be nervous?cool runnins ,no problem,be happy!

Hi E.P Panda is already on a water pill half twice a day, plus predizone to help shrink tumor temporary, and he is on fortekor for his heart, the water pill isnt keeping up to the fluid build up. Ralphy is feeling better today hes purring and he ate all of his food last nite so I'm pretty happy about that. Another nice day out so Panda boy will be enjoying this nice day.

Alittle update on the babies, Panda is still doing pretty good.I've been getting him outside everyday. He was chasing a bumble bee just the other day. Ralphy is now on 18 syringes of water daily orally and he hasnt been eating the food he is suppose to be eating either, so I'm going to try it in the dry food I think, he has put on some weight. Its' been two weeks now since Panda has had his last fluid taken out. All is still good .... I'm very greatful I have this time with Panda. I'm finally going back to 8hr shifts starting next week thank god, this should make some stuff around the house with the cats alittle easier.

Brothery love, Shadow and Panda two peas in a pod. Sllllleeeeeping
