I'll try to make it brief at this time since I'm keeping 24 hour watch on him. Styx, named after the band and not the "evil river," just turned 13 years old on September 10. That is if he was born in 1996 and not earlier. Can't recall and can't find his papers. Still, pretty sure I'm right and I am positive his birthday is September 10th. He was 5 months old when he chose me, I took him home and he went to work straight away at being so sweet, affectionate and precious.
All started about a week ago with him manifesting symptoms. The Emergency Vet feels it's more likely to be kidney disease or failure and not diabetes as I strongly suspected at first. Crisis was late morning of November 12th and I'll tell you later what happened. Not all tests are in yet but if it's kidney disease or failure, not much of a chance if any at all. Please send positive vibes to Styx kitty that at least he's not in pain and won't suffer. If you're one who prays, we'd be very grateful for that, too. Remember, Angels Breathe! God Bless and Many Kind Thanks!!! Always, Dottie xoxoxox Please Hang In There Styx Kitty!!!
You are so Loved!!! ![]() ![]() |

{{{{{{{Flossie's Mom Ginger}}}}}}} Your post made me cry. Thank you and God Bless You Most Abundantly for your support, thoughts and prayers for Styx kitty and for me, too. Big Hugs!!!
He's doing amazingly well for a kitty who's organs are slowly shutting down. I'm so glad I chose to keep him here! Styx sleeps most of the time. On occasion, he'll get up, walk to his water, but he doesn't want to drink. This is quite alarming because before his crisis, he was drinking all the time. Way too often. Oh, he's stopped going potty, too. Oh No! I knew something was wrong. Now, he'll just look at his water bowl, then turns around, sits down on the floor and looks at me. What to do? Eureka! I first gave him the juice from a can of tuna and he slurped it down with gusto. So, I put some of the tuna in the bowl with it because he has stopped eating his cat food. He ate! So far, we've done that twice today. Styx is still enjoying being kissed, petted and scratched in this favorite places. Purrs so sweet! The best thing is that he hasn't fallen over then found himself unable to walk so dragged his hind legs while pulling himself along the floor with his front legs while crying. That was one of the crises. Man, I freaked out to say the least! Called my Vet, they were not in that Thursday but the recorder gave two emergency numbers to call. I didn't take time to hear the second one cuz I had to book it quick, fast and in a hurry. My kitty was in pain and ... Oh My Gosh!!! So ... I called the Emergency Vet Hospital, spoke with the most wonderful Tech Allen. I don't recall when I've ever spoken so fast. Allen was great! Lucky for Styx kitty that the Emergency Vet Hospital is only about five minutes away from my home. Thank you, God! Next, I called United Cab and they know me very well. This time, I allowed myself to speak franticly in hope they'd get someone here immediately. They did. Thank goodness for that. Allen and Dr. Gladden are saints, too! Word! Well, that's enough for now. Him and his teddy bear. So dear! Just want you all to know that Angels really do Breathe and are watching over Styx kitty. I think some Angels may be under his blanket with him as he sleeps and they give him lovely dreams because every time I check on him by gently petting the top of the blanket, I can feel him purring. I am so grateful!!! Oh, here are some of his Angels ... ![]() ![]() Please God, let Styx kitty continue to do so well and help him to go gently into that good night. Blessings!!! |
