Its been a very bad weekend - asking for prayers again please

[Daisy23]

Brenda,
I remember when you told me about something getting at Simon. Simon is in great loving hands and he'll be alright. Please keep me updated. I'm only a phone call if you need me.

Sending prayers and positive thoughts Simon's way...




Sending all our love!!!!

[Gingergirlsmom]

Aww, this has to be unbelievable hard for you. Sounds like Simon's a real fighter and like he's got the best mom any cat could ask for! My thoughts are with both you and Simon as you struggle through this, and my prayers are being sent for a quick and full recovery.

[YorkieShadow]

Prayers going out to you and Simon,

[Betty'sMom]

Simon is a beautiful boy. I understand your wanting to do whatever you can for him...I would do the same. I am sending prayers for both of you. ((hugs))

[Patti]

Praying for Simon.

[Breny]

Thank you all so much for your support! Its just so hard to accept when bad things happen and to know its my fault

If I had never let him go outside, nothing would have attack him and then he wouldn't have had a stroke

I'm being there for him no matter what. I just hold him and tell him he's going to pull thru this. I carry him thru the house and show him around so he's just not in one place.

I remember when he was little I used to carry him everywhere and he really liked me to do that and he would reach out and touch things

Simon is absolutely beautiful! I'm so sorry you and he have to go thru this, I know it's hard to let go sometimes and we tend to be selfish as pets age and things happen, but I truely think he is showing you he's still got alot of spunk and fight in him (not to mention the 9 lives he was born with) and isn't ready to go yet. Hang in there, Simon, and keep getting better a little at a time. You'll stay in my thoughts and prayers as you recover.

Your post brought tears to my eyes. I have been through the same exact experience. You are so right to stand by his side and fight with him as long as he has the will to live. On the day that he gives up, he'll look up at you, and tell you that its time for you to let him go.

I pray that that day will not be soon, that he can live an even longer happy life. He has already shown his strength and drive to live by miraculously walking after being paralyzed. But I also pray that if he is ready to go, you'll be comforted by the fact that he led a long and happy life with you...

I didn't take his legs, as he had wet himself and I want to spare his dignity, but this is my baby boy this morning. I love him sooo much!!!!

He is a beautiful boy. He sure doesn't look his age!

Its not your fault at all. You were doing what you thought was best for your baby, just like we all do every day.

My cat, Zeb, loved being outside, so as he began to age, we decided to let him have his lifelong wish to come and go as he chose (he always found his way back to my bed at night, though). I got him when I was two, and he disappeared when I was eighteen, a week after I moved out of my house to college. He wasn't sick, and didn't show any signs of being elderly, and I knew what had happened. (Coyotes). However, I still feel that he died being a "free" cat, and that was worth it, even though I could have prevented his death by cooping him up inside. I don't know if you can relate at all, but I thought I'd share.

You really are in my thoughts and prayers.

Oh, I am so terribly sorry about your beautiful Simon. Please don't blame yourself ... we have to give certain latitude to our pets in order for them to live happy lives even though we would prefer to keep them in a glass bubble. I will be praying for Simon and you. God bless you both!

[Grayson's mom]

Oh sSmon is beautiful, I am praying I know it will be hard for me when the time comes for Dusty she is my special girl she helped me with my grieving for the loss of my mother. I hope he improves each day.

[Breny]

I want to thank everyone so much again. It helps alot.

No changes as of this morning. I carried him outside and he went potty, but he had also pottied on the pee pads last night.

He's not eating yet but taking the formula that my Tia grew up on. It has Full fat yogart, eggs, real mayo, nutrical, evaporated milk, kiaro surup, and a dash of honey. I raise Tia up on this formula and Simon always loved it so its all he'll eat right now so I'm keeping him full on that. I cooked him chicken yesterday but he wouldn't eat it. Any suggestions to get him to eat???

I laid him on the carpet with me last night and he was wahing himself I think he wants to fight this and I'm going to be there to help him!

[Tophersmom]

Aren't we blessed to have these beautiful souls in our lives? I had a cat named Mackeral who helped me through so much...he was my true friend through so many difficult years, just like your Simon is to you. As their physical bodies weaken, it's oh so difficult.

Remember that just as you are lucky to have him, he is so blessed to have YOU in his life. I will keep you both in my prayers.
