Big Kitty is sick, vomiting and constipation. We go to the vet in an hour. She is 18 years old. I have a bad feeling about this. Wish me luck.

Sorry to hear - I truly hope all is well.

Sorry to hear about a sick kitty. Thoughts and prayers are with her and you.
Beautiful cat. May have ingested something such as plastic or clear wrapping material. One of my cats has done that twice. She did manage to pass it both times but was sick during the process, similar symptoms.
I had a dream we found some kittens behind the store yesterday- 14 of them. We were like, “Whoa, SWEET! Cats!” and we divided them up and took them all home. They were spotted and could talk. Odd dream.
Good luck with this Jim.
I hope she is OK and it is something small like a hair ball, my female siamese had a bad one last year they took out. cost $500 but she just like new so it was well worth it.
let us know when she gets better.
she’ll be fine…probably just something she ate. have faith–she’ll be ok i promise.
18 years old… sounds like a well loved kitty and maybe just a little spoiled. Hope everything works out.
Suii (Sue-eye), my first cat, made it till 21 and still played up till her last 4 months.
Good Luck!! Our 15 year old just had a liver lobe removed. I hope yours pulls through as well.
Cats are cool! He’ll be fine.
Just got home from the vet. Big Kitty is not happy! She hates the vet, hates riding in the car, hates having her temp taken, hates getting a shot, hates having the nice vet squeeze her tummy to see if she is blocked. She was very vocal about all of this. And for the first time ever, she took a healthy swipe at the vet assistant for touching her feet. I give credit to the vets assistant, that young girl has some awesome reflexes, Big Kitty never even got close. First time I ever saw that cat take a swipe that wasn’t playful.
Good news is that it is probably just a hair ball she is having trouble passing, she doesn’t normally yak them up, just passes the hair. I’ve got some laxative for her and the shot will help. Bad news it could be something worse and I have a follow up appointment for next week. Vet says she’s in fine shape for her age, and I should expect some problems like this in a older cat.
Well something is working she just used “the box” sucessfully, then proceeded to throw up again immediately. I am gonna have to clean all the carpets before I get done. Oh well they were due anyway.
the price of parenthood. glad to hear it’s really a small issue…she’ll be napping like normal in a day or so, no worries!
pics???
just kiddin’
Cat dudes. Cool.
I know this goes without saying Tom, but I really can’t figure out how your mind works.
Cheers,
Amy
P.S. I wish I was there; I would have taken one of those Felt road bikes off your hands. I’m in serious need of a triple here.
Jim
That is a huge relief - I know you must be feeling a lot better - not to mention kitty!!
Thanks for letting us know - my little guy is like a son
She is presently my only companion, and very important to me. Thanks for caring.
Holly, Benjamin and Simon are all very glad to hear things went well (for the assistant too)…cat chuck…a way of life.
I work for a vet part time. One thing we see in older cats is constipation. Sounds like that may fit the bill. Hopefully a little clean out job and all will be well. Good luck.
Glad to hear the feline is A OK.
So glad your cat is o.k. They are such wonderful company (when they want to be).
Good luck with the cat and the pill. My cat was on antibiotics recently. Twice a day, giving him a pill…nightmare, no fun for either of us.
Glad to hear things are looking up. that sense of helplessness you get when your pet isn’t right has got to be one of the worst feelings on earth.
Best wishes for Big Kitty’s return to active duty.
Oh yeah, and dude, what’s that stuff in the corner?
