Even though I know better and can admit, I had some native hopes that 2024 might be a good year. Honestly, at this point, 2024 has felt like I was drowning on an emotional roller coaster and struggling to keep my head above water. Beginning in early January, our oldest cat has been suffering from medical issues, and I have done everything to keep him happy and comfortable. We had received a grim diagnosis from his doctor, but we did not want to accept the news or his fate♥. Over the weeks, he has had a few good days where we thought he was improving, but I am beginning to question this. Yes, he sleeps most of the day and is not eating much, but when I see him eating a few bites of food, I feel hopeful. I am terrified I am not doing things right, and I do not know what else to do for the sweetheart kitty.
Another reason this issue has been incredibly stressful, and heartbreaking is tomorrow will mark four years since the cat we had for fifteen years passed away. I worry about what will happen to our current older cat since he has been ill for weeks. I do not want to accept what the doctor said, and he would best case scenario only be with us for three more months. I realize that is only thinking about this on a strictly emotional basis and not a logical way. Watching a pet you love♥ dearly suffer and not be able to do anything to fix it is awful. We have already watched two of our other cats suffer and struggle with illness, and I would not wish this on anyone, not even my worst enemy. If only our sweet kitty could talk and tell us what he wants us to do and make everything a little easier.
Why do innocent and loveable animals have to get sick? How do you watch a pet you consider family suffer? I feel helpless in this situation and only want what is best for him because I love him so much, and he is the sweetest cat in the world. I have never seen so much love♥ in an animal’s eyes to the point you feel like you can see his soul. My heart and mind are hurting, which has been exhausting. I wish there were a way I could take all his pain away and donate one of my lungs to him so he could be comfortable and happy. Unfortunately, I did ask, and there is no way I can donate a lung or even part of my lung to him☹. I know the veterinarian thought I was crazy for asking this question, but I was desperate for a solution.
Thank you for stopping by my site today. The only good news I can share today is I am doing well in my class and continue getting A’s on all the tests. I hope you are doing well, and your week is going pleasantly so far. I am unsure how much I believe it helps, but please keep our sweet cat in your thoughts and prayers. We have been trying to remain optimistic and only allow ourselves to see the outcome improve because we believe sending positive energy into a grim situation will help for positive results. We believe our cat can sense what we are feeling and thinking, so believing things will improve and that he is improving can make him think this as well. Please never forget I am always sending y’all LOTS of love♥, comfort, support, and MANY positive vibes!
Always, Alyssa
