It's alright ^_^
I think we're all kinda slacking off in this blasted heat crying
I'm sorry to hear about your kitty sad
How hot is it there? I know my cat doesn't eat for a day or so at a time, he's an outside cat and sometimes won't come home for a few days to eat. It might be just because of the heat, too, because even human's don't like to eat when it's too hot out. Is his nose cold/dry? I've heard that you can tell health by that as well. And is he very old or kind of young? You got to remember that cats have fur coats XD They're much hotter then we are on hot days 3nodding And I don't know about anywhere else but the heat + humidity has made it about 95+ degrees here and they can't shed their fur all off.
I wish it was that simple but I'm almost certain he's about to die. He's an inside cat and ancient at that. I've had him since I was five ( I'm eighteen turning nineteen soon ) and he wasn't exactly a kitten when we first got him. He eats every day three times a day. But for the past 3 + days he hasn't eaten anything at all. He drinks water but I've noticed he's slowly drinking less and he only wants to drink from the hose with the water dripping off of my fingers. He's really skinny and light now since he won't eat and walks incredibly slow. And it all happened in a matter of days. It's been warm out but he lives in the garage with me where it's cool and I make sure to mist him over with some water these past few days since he seems to like hanging around the hose and getting his face wet lately. I've tried feeding him with a spoon, mixing water into his already wet food, even putting it close to his face and he simply turns his head away as if to say "No." I know it's not his food because he's never been a picky eater and has never had a problem with that brand. If that's not enough I've seen a little bit of blood in his puke a day before this all started. Hasn't puked since. He's not grooming himself either so when he gets near the hose after I'm done misting him I wipe him off with a rag to keep him somewhat clean. He's also been trying to sneak out a lot at night, like if I try to leave my room and the garage to go into the house to get water or use the bathroom he tries to slip out the door behind me. But I don't let him out at night because I don't want him going off and dying and something end up eating him and I'll never know.
It's just been a bit stressful. I love my kitty to death and I've had him for a very very long time. So I'm just trying to make him comfy and let him know everything's going to be okay.
On another note, I've sent in two of three of my profiles. I've finished a paragraph and a half of Lidia's post so that should be up sometime today. I'll have Anabelle's up soon after since I've been holding Futilie back for so long ( apologies Dx ) and I'll get her up to speed. Not sure what to do with Calder so I think I'll hold back on posting anything else with him until I can think of something productive for him to do. Lol. But yeah. I'll be getting plenty of stuff done today.
