CYF

I'm in MN too, down by the Mall of America, and we have coyotes around our neighborhood. Police have even warned people to keep smaller dogs inside. I saw one jogging down the street at 3am one night.


My sincere condolences for your loss.

You may be right PJ. Sometimes others can see us better than we can see ourselves.

I always think maybe I am being too emotional but maybe not.

Just got off the phone with my brother. He was very supportive. We are real close.

I read him a couple posts incl the one by porno jew. I said this is by a guy named pornojew and we both laughed a little. I mean at the username. Kind of funny. i told him, "this is a really smart guy who tells it like it is and is totally anon, his name is pornojew" hehe

The first thing he told me is what you are all telling me. I have to get another cat. It is who i am. So think I will go down to the humane society and get a kitten before too long. I will let you know

Vjo

Good one. If I call myself Catman I pretty much better have a cat.

Vjo

Thank you.

Vjo

thanks TC, very nice.

I read my brother your post too. I said, "this guy is all the way from Czech. He says i should get another cat too."

My brother is 10 years older than me so he doesnt really get the net.

L-Pink

Go save the life of a cat/kitten that isn't going to get adopted.

.

Vjo

We're you really? I always fig you as a city boy all the way.

Hit me baby with the cutie cats. Life goes on. As I said we must not forget but we must go on.

I need to unwind anyhow.

We're you really into crossbows and did you play in the woods? I love the woods.

MP, there is nothing more peaceful than the quiet and peace of the woods. Sit on a log. Feel complete freedom and of course burn one.

I did NOT read my bro this post.

Nope, Teencat does not take to direct attempts to win his love. He's a cat's cat. Very aloof.

Vjo

Very good idea and what I am gonna do. Humane society I am thinking as that is pretty much where all the kittens end up. I am looking forward to it. Kitten will be a bundle of fun.

But yeah, if one isnt going to be adopted I would lean towards that.

I havent had a kitten since Rascal in 1979, Actually I was doing purty purty good with the ladies when I had the two siamese. hehe

Maybe chg my luck around.

Of course I was 80 times better looking then and about 22.

Vjo

Thank you. That's pretty crazy. I havnt heard of any up around central MN but then again I don't hear much.

Tend to get a lot of wildlife around the suburbs of Mpls and St Paul tho it seems. Always something weird running around it seems.

Vjo

Thanks. I guess you cant let the burying part stop you. It is going to happen.

Vjo

It was a sad day. Still hard to come to grips with.

Well I havn't been to sleep for about 28 hours.

Catch you all later. Thank you everyone.

Still up 30 hours+ now.

I just cant believe it happened. I know it happened but I find myself in a bit of shock over what I seen today. I guess after 11 years I feel like he should still be around.

I never thought he would die. I guess I miss him. And I feel bad for him.

This is harder than I thought.

I nodded off a couple times for a moment while reading GFY. If I go to my bed. I cant lay down. I feel like a parent who needs to do something. TV helps and maybe I will take some Nyquil. Think I have some.

I know he aint coming back. He was prob my best friend really and it is tough.

I keep wondering what the hell happened. I wonder if it could of been a pellet gun or a bullet. But it wasnt. The hole was the size of a cat fang initially.

Why is there only one puncture wound? If he got bit why are there not 2 fang marks. Poss he only was punctured by one fang.

I did what I could do. Too bad he could not have been more concious or in less agony so I could have said goodbye.

Would have getting him to the emerg vet 5-6 hours earlier made a diff. I don't think so. I didnt realize he was that bad. The emerg nurse told me to wait till morning if he was breathing ok and getting his air which he was.

I guess there are a lot of questions that will never be answered.

I think the pus build up may have killed him. He had a lot of pus in his mouth and it kept getting worse. Did he suffocate or just die. I think he just died as he did not really seem like he was struggling for air at the very end.

One sec he is wheezing. The next he jumps around for just one second. Then he is completly still and no more wheezing. His paws moved just a tinch one time 2 seconds later. That was all he moved. He did not seem to suffocate. But you wonder.

Maybe the trip to the vet was a lot of stress and that put him over the edge.

These are the things that go thru my head. I guess this is normal. I think maybe I have some trauma.

I dont expect an answer. I just need to say these things. Then I can read this and maybe feel better.

Maybe I'll post some pics. Prob not now tho. My body is too tired. But my mind wont let go.

Vjo

Then I think of those damn Aleister Crowley pics I posted.

Since I posted them, I had (1) the sudden artery behind the nose go. I posted about this. A life threatening arterial nosebleed altho I never even came close to picking hard. And have never had a nosebleed like this before. I lost about a cup to a pint and it was coming out fast. Luckily I stopped it.

Then I never mentioned it but (2) I had a weird cooking accident where I was browning ground beef a couple days ago (done a thousand times) and somehow with the spatula hot grease suddenly splattered across my glasses and burnt my right eye. I mean like 3/4 cup came out of the pan instantly when the spatula slipped a tinch and the meat rolled. 3/4 cup right across the glasses. They were covered in hot grease. Glasses saved me. Did get some burns around the glasses.

Then (3) this happened.

So I wonder about that. Did I screw up by messing with him? Or his ghost. We all know AC was into some crazy stuff.

I have deleted those pics from my server.

Anyhow I just need to air it all out. Surely means nothing.

Vjo

Ok I am going back to bed and watch some tv. I just needed to say these things.

CurrentlySober

Sorry to read it passed mate.

Condolences

Thanks CS. I appreciate it. Ill be ok. Just a process of letting go I guess.

I know the last two posts seem a little crazy but it helped. I feel better and more tired

Prob being awake over 30 hours has me a little nutty too.

Your a good guy CS. You ever need anything, let me know. I got your back.

Ok going to go watch some MMA or maybe Stern (HSOD) I recorded. I think I am ready to sleep now.

Sorry to hear that, buddy.

At least you can take some solace in the fact that the cat lived a long and fruitful life. I'm not much of a cat person but what i've noticed about cats is that they live violent lives and often die bloody deaths. I used to see these stray cats in a field near me stalk birds and tear them to shreds. Violent lives, violent deaths. Either a dog gets them and rips them open instead of just chasing them like the bumbling, easily fooled dogs in the TV cartoons, or another tom gets them, or a poisoned bait, or a passing car. Cats are the gangsters of the animal world, living outside the law and often dying there. There are a great many of them that never grow old by the fire.

I know how you feel though. I had a bluetick coonhound a couple years back that I was training and she ran a deer out on the road and got hit by a car right in front of me. Only eight months old. Without going into gory details I will say that it was quite possibly one of the worst days of my life, but time heals all wounds. Best thing to do is to get another one as soon as you feel ready, like some other people mentioned.

Very sorry to hear of your loss. I was hoping your little guy would make it.

What he said.

Life sucks sometimes. But you sound like the perfect person to provide a kick ass life for some homeless kitty out there.

Thank you so much. Very good points. Thanks to the other new posters as well. Good points.

Thanks to everyone for your support and good wishes. It really helped. I feel better today. Sleeping helped me see what really happened and get a grip on things.

In a nutshell this is what happened:

He got into a cat fight in the early am.

At noon I seen him in the chair outside. The blood stains on the chair indicate he was bit at this point but prob the infection had not taken hold yet.

By 6:00 pm he came in and I noticed a problem. The infection was really taken hold as the pus was very pronounced and his breathing was labored. At this time the writing was on the wall.

The reason his breathing was bad was the pus was in his nose and system and growing fast.

By 4am he was staggering.A very bad sign. At 7:30 he passed.

He prob did have a weakened immune system (as the nurse thought). Poss due to bites in previous years. He prob had FLV. At this point his immune system was weak. He prob was heading for problems soon regardless of getting bit. Getting bit just put him over the edge sooner.

So this is what happened.

In the end, he lived his life how he wanted. Perhaps if he was kept inside all his life he would have made it 2-3 more years. But he would not have been happy.

I will prob get another guy before too long. I dont know if I can handle a kitten at my age anymore so maybe I'll adopt an older cat again. We'll see.

The kindness I felt from the people on this board was overwhelming. Some of the truly nicest people are in this biz. A lot of you have hearts of gold.

I consider every poster in this thread to be a friend and maybe I can be there for some of you someday.

Thank you all again so very much.
