Healing....

3coolcats Apr 13, 2011 01:40 AM

Da Zoocrewkits mommy checked in wif us to find outs how we been doing. Here be da low down....

Daddy an mommy was furry leaky on da day we tooked Cali an Cookie in. Laura didn'ts weally unnerstand. She was cwazy wike normal. Katewyn was purrty qwiet. Mommy expwained to da vet dat Katewyn is speshul an needed to be part ob da whole fing to pwocess it all. Da vet said nowmally he not wike kidlets to be in der fur it but once mommy expwained why she speshul, he said it be otay. So Katewyn was der fur Cookie. Daddy stayed wif Laura an Cali....who needed to be sedated furst cause we neber know when she gonna go feral an when she gonna be calm. Mommy an daddy no wanted Laura in da room but when Cali was taken out, wittle Laura totally lost it. In fact, I fink she went a bit feral on dem. Da vet asked mommy if Laura needed to be in da room an mommy said yes so da vet waited fur her to calm down an daddy comed in wif her. Laura was finawwy unnerstanding it. She cwied an was going between sad an angwy all dat day. Katewyn was just in her own wurld dat day.

Mommy stopped gwieving ober Cali. Cali let mommy an daddy bofe know she otay. See when Sheridan went to da bwidge, he let himself be known aftur to mommy an to Katewyn fur a while. An once mommy an bofe gurls heard a cat on da side ob da road dat had gone to da bwidge when mommy told it to roam fwee at da bwidge. So at least one kit was gonna talks to hur. So far just Cali done dat. Da furry first night mommy heard a wittle mew wike when Cali begging fur foody. It abouts made mommy jumps out ob her skin. But nobody else heard it. Da next day, daddy was feeding me bweakfast an we bofe jumped cause we bofe heard Cali. So we know she otay. Mommy feeling bads tho because Cookie not let hur know how he be. So she still leaky ober him alot.

Laura is otay now but she young. She gonna handle it diffwent.

Katewyn.....it fully hit last week an she came out ob hur room just shakin an cwyin. Mommy held hurs and cwied wif hurs. Since den she been habing a hard time going to bed at night. Mommy finks it'll be better when da ashes come back an he's here where he bewongs. Den Katewyn will west easy.

An me.....well mommy was furry worried da furst week. All I did was pace awound da house meowing wike I was cwying at odd times during day. Da hoomins gabe me lots of cuddling an I wiked dat but I missed my sibkits. I neber been alone before. I awways had other kits wif me. So dis be diffwent fur me. But I slowly getting used to being awone.

Da fambly is all sick wiff a bad cold right now. Mommy gots it furst an den it never weally wented away. Now she hab it worse an she shared dose germies with Laura an daddy. So dat why I habn't been back to let youze all know how we be doin.

But we are hear an busy healing in more ways dan one....both our hearts an our bodies.

Fanks fur da GLOWS. Dey shoorly helped us froo all dis.

Oh my doodness, Al! Dis is so sad dat all 3 of us is leakin like Niagra Falls. :::Twavis wipes hims nose once more an tries to meow on::: Furst, da entire fambly needs a truckload ob GLOW. We haf called da GLOW bank an made a rather sizeable wifdrawl. Da truck wif all of our GLOW will be dere any minute. We are glad Cali has been able to meow dat she is OK. Dat muss haf eased da hurt in your heart furry much. We think Cookie will be meowin to you soon. It is a rather big change an he juss may need a little more time to send hims meows to you. But we haf hope dat he will be in touch wif you an dat hims is OK.

Our Mommy has had times when her thought dat her would be sad fureffur. An she had no hope. Like recently when she ws told she would need a big, complex surjery on hers back. An when she found out da recofery time would be a minimum of 12 months, she leaked for days. She would not be allowed to lift anyfing ~ like us 3 kitts. She could not bend so she can't feed us kitts. Den Poopa hired a home healf aid fur hers an now she can haf things done fur hers dat are furry important to her. Her couldn' unnerstand why she had to haf another major surjery espcially since she has already had 15 surjeries. In da end eferyting worked out for da best. An while her has a long road ahead of her to learn how to walk again, she knows she will travel dat hard road wif confidence an success an find happiness at da end of it.

Pwease haf Hope an Faith dat all will be OK at da end of da long, hard path you find yourselves on. Cali an Cookie would haf wanted it to be dat way fur you an your family. AL will help you an you will help Al.

We are all still sending GLOW and PRAYERS for heart and body healing. You will get used to being an only kit before long. I lived with other kits my whole life until February 8, 2010, which is when Patches died. I looked around for a few days to make sure she wasn't still around to pick on me, and then I started really loving having mommy all to myself. Of course, I only got to enjoy it for a year because now they've brought home this boykit, Cuddles, to be Katie's cat. He's annoying, but I am teaching him firmly that Mommy is mine and Katie and Daddy can be his.

Tell your Mommy that Cookie is fine too. Mommy still hears Patches sometimes. Patches told her that she has been playing with him and Cali. Mommy and Katie send hugs for you and your family, and I am sending special pawpats for Katelyn, too.

Purrs,

Tinkerbell
watching out for the boykit from Mommy's shoulder

Wiscats...Cali had been sickwy fur a while. Mostly just not using da witter boxy fur going pooh fire monsters. Mommy an daddy tooked her to local vets an finawwy da one dey twusted which be a long dwive fwom der house. Tests awways showed she was otay. But in wecent munfs da pwoblem gotten worse an Cali wooked sicker. She wost a wot of wate fast too. She was awways a thin kitgurl but she was bawely 4 lbs at da end. She wasn't gwooming eether. Mommy an daddy didn'ts want hurs to suffer so dey made da choice to fwee hurs fwom whateber she had.

An den da furry weekend before dat was goin to happen, Cookie started not using da litter boxy at all. He hab been throwing up foody alot but he awways had a sensitive stomach since he camed to lib wif us. But when he stopped using da litter boxy an goin outside it when he woulds go (eben to da point of standing on daddy's head in da middle of da night an poohin on daddy's pillow!), mommy tooked him to der twusted vet. Vet said "Wow! Dat is one huge tumor in his stomach!" Had mommy feel it too. Mommy not know how dey didn'ts notice dat demselves. Da vet gave them choices....two choices involved money mommy an daddy not habbed because dey just spent mega mommy on fixing a metalmonster. Da other two choices were to take him home an wate fur da tumor to make him suffer more while he makes messes efurryware or help him to da bwidge. Cookie wasd Katelyn's favorite an dey incwuded hurs in da decision. It was decided dat it was fur da best because it was making him not use da litter boxy an der was nuffing to help contwol dat. Since we rent our housey we awso hab to fink what da landlordy woulds want. He a dood guy but himz no want pooh fire messies effurryware eben if mommy cweaning up 40 times a day. Da choice fur Cookie was da hardest. Cause outwardly he wooked fine. But inside he was sicky.
