Emergency Auxiliary Backup Cat #2 health scare

[The Valkyrie]

Awww!!! The poor thing!!!

I'm glad she's better now. I'm sure you're an excellent cat mommy, crazy scalpel lady or not... I know you love your kitties

Prefer cats over humans.

I think one of my cats had a stroke over the weekend.  She was having trouble walking, her back legs just wouldn't move and she was collapsing.

Took her to the vet and she's better now but I'm keeping an eye on her.

She's the oldest and a rescue/abandoned cat.

I'll take your cat to the vet if you visit my dad...he had a stroke too

Sorry to hear that, Lost One.

How's he doing?

[Losty]

No idea...I don't think I'll try to find out.

Ah.

Gotcha.

That's a very scary thing to have happen. It was last year that I think Vader had two of them. He's recovered now, but it was touch and go for a bit there.

Yeah, that's the one I know about.  She's been sleeping a lot over the past few days in front of the heater, whether it's on or not, so I suspect she's had at least one more.

But last night she was up and meowing like mad, eating and sitting on the edge of the bath while I soaked (and demanding I let her drink water from the tap).

Cat not being able to walk is certainly scary.

2 has been there, and it was very upsetting to him when it got that bad. Really shook me up to see it too, this is, of the 2 cats here, the poised and graceful one.

I love people because they have emotions and bodies, empathy and sensations.

So many people need a hug. But if they don't want them, that's okay. I can make myself unavailable and be there when they need a cry AND a hug.

I hope your cats recover splendidly, Vorlon, you awesome guy. Such a harmless friendly person you are Vorlon. Your weirdness is irrelevant, anyone who dislikes you for no good reason lacks compassion.

Your kitties deserve happiness. I hope they are okay soon. I am on beer. Do you approve? I't's a very small amount drank fast and I am not used to it. Am I irrelevant?

WHY DO WE EVEN WORRY MOST OF THE TIME?

Okay it seems akward. So what? Calm our shit. Life is good when when we siezie the many unappreciated opportunities to be silly and appreciate each other as lifeforms on this planet.

You know, the thing is, we worry so hard about so many things and those things never happen. Unless something is REALLY SERIOUS why worry? Even when we think we aren't perfectionists we are. As long as we are here, and enjoying our silly fun moments and our friends and wonderful pets and beautiful children and best friends, who even cares? Vorlon, you're epic, as is many people of AF.

Okay this is awkward and random a a post maybe? I'm a little drunk, so what? At least it relieves the ennui. You don't receive posts like me everyday. Say something postiive about this post, and fuck, that would be delicious.

Best 4 friends =Losty (greatest person I have ever known), Robvalue (a much unappreciated soul who doesn't realize how awesome he is) and of course Emjay and Mamacita, but you know, there are many awesome people of AF. So many awesome people. And even the dicks and cuntholes are just being themselves and there is always hope however small. We're all trapped together in this shitty planet. We're all human. We grow up the way we are. As individuals. It's like... if we were born as the other person, as each other or whatever, it would be the same for us too;. You don't have to know exactly what I mean, just get the gist. We share so much in common. And it's not even the similarties. It's not sharing per se... it's about... we just..... you know... we're born... we have feelings... things matter.... we all suffer.... we get frustrated and we are cruel to each other... and we shouldn't be.... and when we are.... we need even more love from those who realize that... but not over tolerance... intolerance shouldn't receive tolerance... but it should receive love and compassion...

and when.... when I am rude... why do I do that? I don't need to... I can vent like this instead... with compassion...and love... however drunk... I should just open up... but just slow down... be considerate... wow.... life can be so much.... SO MUCH MORE SIMPLE... you know... I am not worried. Wow life is good sometimes but wow it's interesting and you know... most importantlly... compassion, love, comparing, emotions AND FUCKING HELL A LACK OF APPRECIATION FOR THE LITTLE MOMENTS OF JOY AND FRIENDLINESS.

Anyway, whatever,

Vorlie.... I hope your kitties are okay soon, and whatever happens, enjoy your life and the kitties you have.

AF is a wonderful community, and I hope we can see the moments of good even in the shittiest people. Pessimism and cynicism can go die in a fire without us allowing toxic people to exploit us.

Compassion, power and the POWER OF AFFECTION AND OPENING UP WITHOUT NEUROSIS.

Just a little beer and more expression. Love you guys

Pretty sure this post at least isn't boring

Aren't all cats poised and graceful?
I've never been able to keep a cat alive longer than a year so I dunno about cat problems much.. I do remember my favorite cat. Dosha was a cat with a dogs mind! He would walk on the edge of the tub too and "accidentally" flick his tail too far and "fall in". Dumb coyotes got him though, the one time he escaped the house. Bad luck after that I tried watching a cat and her kittens for the ASPCA. They didn't tell me the mom was feral so that was an interesting six weeks! She took up shop under my bed and anytime I wanted to sleep, I'd have to make a run and jump onto it, and if I rolled over in the middle of the night she would make a growl from a horror movie! The kittens, I'm happy to say, were. "Very well adjusted, box trained, and adoptable".
