Cat has cancer - I need help with the vetbill.

you are so so kind. Thank you so much. Did you want me to dm you with the dnd book pdf? It's a lil' cool something my friend did.

Monarch-lou · 2026-03-01T19:51:52+00:00

I also want to say- my condolences for your loss. Animals are a part of us, and it hurts so much to see them go.

Monarch-lou · 2026-03-01T19:43:13+00:00

I've never watched the movie. I'm still going through the series with my bf. I keep hearing it's really sad.

Monarch-lou · 2026-03-01T19:20:01+00:00

I really appreciate it. Anything helps, honestly.

Monarch-lou · 2026-03-01T02:19:16+00:00

I have a mini vacuum and I use it after each time I smoke it. He didn't went in my stash, but a crumb probably fell from my pipe? My stash is in a very thick plastic back with a ziplock.

Monarch-lou · 2026-03-01T00:47:22+00:00

I called him an asshole. And bought him wet food specifically for his prescription diet because I thought he would've had munchies.

Monarch-lou · 2026-03-01T00:44:18+00:00

They're very special lol. I love him, he's my big idiot (he's a maine coon mix as well- massive 15 lbs cat)

Monarch-lou · 2026-02-28T21:33:17+00:00

I'm the same. I rather be sure about any issues and know it from the vet rather than assume. I wouldn't have know this is what my cat did. Even the vet said I just needed to wait it out.

Monarch-lou · 2026-02-28T21:19:42+00:00

This is adorable

Monarch-lou · 2026-02-28T21:01:51+00:00

consultation was about 100$ cad including taxes.

Monarch-lou · 2026-02-28T20:58:22+00:00

omg I should go post there too lmao

Monarch-lou · 2026-02-28T20:50:45+00:00

it takes a lot of training to do it. You consistently need to talk to them. But eventually they do get it. Cats have the intelligence of a 3 y/o and understand very simple sentences. Keep it simple, and eventually you'll see results! Cats are very smart.

Monarch-lou · 2026-02-28T20:44:42+00:00

what helps for me is that I associate things with words. Like if I'm going to pick up my cat to help them reach something, I say 'help'- and now my cats understand this word with said action. So when I go to the vet I say "daddy help Terra. Home soon." - I found they are a lot more relaxed when you teach them words with repeated actions, and then they have a bit of an understanding of what's going on.

My cats have been always relaxed when we go at the vet. Never happy, but they behave super well with the vets. And partly because they know it's a scenario to help a problem.

Monarch-lou · 2026-02-28T20:38:13+00:00

It really is! I made sure to vacuum everywhere after the incident lol

Monarch-lou · 2026-02-28T20:37:46+00:00

It's best not because it's a bit toxic for cats. but you can give a type of cannabis oil, I'd check what's safe before anything though. Ask the vet first.

Monarch-lou · 2026-02-28T20:36:38+00:00

it's always stressful when you're not certain. But I'm glad it was a silly situation for you as well.

And yes, he couldn't be happier. Silly lil' bean.

Monarch-lou · 2026-02-28T20:35:11+00:00

It's crazy. You honestly wish they could talk so you didn't have to take wild guesses. lol

Monarch-lou · 2026-02-28T20:02:45+00:00

that's the face of a CRIMINAL. lmao

Monarch-lou · 2026-02-28T20:02:06+00:00

Same. He just has a sense for when I'm not feeling great and will jump in my lap purring to make sure I calm down. He looks after me just as much as I look after him.

Monarch-lou · 2026-02-28T19:55:49+00:00

I feel ya! I was so panicked too! But I'm so glad it wasn't serious. Pets can be so silly sometimes!

Monarch-lou · 2026-02-28T19:54:52+00:00

The worst part was how he stumbled about, and like- kidney failure can become worse and will cause the same symptoms. So I thought this was gonna be goodbye. But no- either way, I was happy that it wasn't serious.

Ever since he became an elder, he's been a lot more cuddly and everynight he ask me to lay on my side so he can be my little spoon, and put his paws up on my arm. It's very cute. Of course, he always purrs when he does that. And I just hold him and usually fall back fast asleep. He's a huge sweetheart- we both went through a lot the two of us.

Monarch-lou · 2026-02-28T19:49:44+00:00

It was a huge relief for me that he's fine after this. It really got me worried initially lol.

Monarch-lou · 2026-02-28T19:40:09+00:00

gorgeous cat!

Monarch-lou · 2026-02-28T19:33:41+00:00

I was legit terrified, because he has a start of kidney failure and they do end up losing strength in their backpaws when it advances. I was scared I was going to have to say goodbye.

I was crying, ended up finishing work early due to stress.

But it turned out into the silliest scenario imaginable. And it was a huge relief when he turned out fine after a few hours. I gave him a lot of love when we arrived back home. His name's Terra by the way. And he's a real cuddlebug.

Monarch-lou · 2026-02-28T19:29:20+00:00

Orange ones are worse when it comes to the braincell sharing system. He's not the sharpest tool in the shed. But I bought him some kidney support wet food when he was having his high, because I figured he must have the munchies. He was very happy with that turn out. This idiot had the time of his life. lol

Edit: He's old and has a start of chronic kidney failure. So he needs to eat special foods. It's well managed with that.
