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!!! ![]() ![]() |

Oh my gosh. Please, I don't want to alarm anyone. You've all got so very much on your plates already. I think Styx kitty may be dead. Now, remember, he's pulled this on me before when he went into crisis and I took him to the Emergency Vet ... I think it was November 13th of last year. Right now and for the past several hours, he's been under his blanket again and ... I can't tell if he's breathing. I sure don't want to disturb him if he's either resting peacefully or if he's in the process of "going gently into that good night." Still, he's completely unresponsive when I pet him and give him soft little nudges on the top of his blanket ...
Again, remember this happened the last time, and the next thing we knew, he was drinking juice from real tuna and very shortly after that, was also eating some of that tuna which I'd cut into tiny pieces. So, please don't sound the alarms and alert the media just yet. Please send him positive thoughts, vibes, and if you're one who prays, I'd be very grateful for that, too. For now, just let me be the one to worry because I'm getting very good at that. I am very calm at this time and feel I'll remain this way unless he goes into a crisis. Of course, then I'd take him to the Emergency Vet in a nano second. They're only about five minutes from where I live and my cab people are wonderful regarding this sort of thing. I'll keep you posted and God Bless! Always, Dottie xoxoxox |
