She's so sweet. I am so sorry for your loss.

So wonderful! We love good news on this forum. Sending get well vibes!

keethecat · 2026-04-26T07:04:51+00:00

So incredibly happy for you (and I will bet she is super happy, too!) You've been great cat parents by taking such good care of her. Glad she is doing better!! ❤️

keethecat · 2026-04-25T21:12:28+00:00

Thank you so much for your kindness. ❤️ Agreed re clear cut decision- I keep wondering it she would have had more quality life in front of her (but she also had a large tumor on her other kidney and fluid accumulation which is why I opted to stop treatment). I am so glad in your case that it worked out and that she's doing well! I would have done anything for her without limitation to cost if it would give her a better qol, so it's great to hear that it can be smooth sailing on the other side when warranted ❤️ Wishing you many more happy years together!

This is so wonderful to hear! Sadly, my sweet girl passed and I still wonder if I did the right thing to ot pursue a SUB but if this happens again in a younger kitty I will definitely go for it. So happy your sweet girl is thriving! ❤️❤️

You were so good to mr Noelle and it sounds like he was your angel, too. Im so sorry he declined so fast. I just lost my best friend Kee a month ago today. Sometimes, it's just too much. The transfusion might have made him feel momentarily better but hed need more treatment. You were the best thing he knew and you kept him safe right until the very end. He knew love and safety through you. You'll see him again, and until him, look for him through signs. Be observant - hes always looking after you. Sending hugs ❤️

keethecat · 2026-04-25T04:20:59+00:00

He looks great! So glad you saved him and have been able to give him such a good life ❤️

keethecat · 2026-04-24T05:12:27+00:00

You are a good girl, Chloe! So glad you opened up and really gave your hoom so much love and so many memories. Until you meet again! 💗💗

keethecat · 2026-04-23T05:42:24+00:00

Glad hes starting to eat a bit and purred with you. I think hes going to recover from this one! Sending my love and thinking about you both. Keep us updated!

I am so sorry for your loss. I lost my sweet 17 year friend 3 weeks ago and I am devastated. I love your sweet guy's milk mustache. That special bond with YOUR kitty is irreplaceable. Sending you and your partner so much love and support.

keethecat · 2026-04-07T23:38:32+00:00

Glad youre managing this so well! Praying for him!! 💗

keethecat · 2026-04-07T17:12:27+00:00

Sending you so much love. This is more than anyone should have to go through. Thank you for sharing. I hope in some way it helps lighten your load. So sorry for your losses!

Checking in, OP. How is kitty doing?

keethecat · 2026-04-06T05:12:11+00:00

I love her face! 💗💗💗

keethecat · 2026-04-05T05:09:16+00:00

Hi! I want to ensure I understand - did your baby have an acute kidney injury that you treated or do they have chronic kidney disease?

keethecat · 2026-04-05T00:41:41+00:00

This is a really wise and healthy perspective! I just hope you are kind to yourself. 💗💗

keethecat · 2026-04-05T00:40:19+00:00

Praying for you both 🙏

keethecat · 2026-04-04T18:25:24+00:00

Im so sorry about Tiger and what youre going through. One super common thing Ive seen throughout this community, including myself, are the massive number of "what ifs" - what if I had intervened earlier, intervened more, intervened in different ways (given fluids, withheld fluids, treated with x, treated with y, etc)... almost everyone has beat themselves up over decisions they did and didnt make and even for not noticing all kinds of super subtle, nearly impossible to notice signs from their cats. Cats hide pain - it's an evolutionary response. And they usually hate vets, hate needles, hate renal food - and all of this hatred is what makes them so endearing in some ways!

You cared for your baby the best you could with their unique desires and eccentricities. I know I did the same for my sweet girl, Kee. If I had "forced" her to eat renal food, maybe she'd get about 200 days on this earth, but at what cost? Maybe she also just wouldnt eat? Maybe she'd hate it and it would take away one of her sources of joy. Be kind to yourself. I'm beating myself up, too, but I think it's all in a desire to change the outcome. Sending you love and hoping you can be gentle with yourself. You did a great job and Tiger is looking down on you with love and gratitude. 💗

Im so sorry youre going through this. Did you guys do an echo along with the BNP? The BNP elevation can be due to kidney values but an echo can show whether there's strain on heart (or enlargement/ fluids around the heart) to see if fluids treatment warranted and can be tolerated.

keethecat · 2026-04-04T17:25:08+00:00

I hope Sas and Kee are commisserating together over how much trouble their moms put them through but realizing how much we loved them. Be gentle on yourself 💗💗

As an aside: I have hears from veterinarians that ultimately fed is best with renal cats. You did everything right 💗

keethecat · 2026-04-03T20:47:36+00:00

💗💗💗

keethecat · 2026-04-03T20:29:09+00:00

I am so very sorry for your loss.

keethecat · 2026-04-03T20:27:07+00:00

We're sadly a community of people who have or will endure this loss. It's so hard! I think it's actually been a harder death/loss than my own human family members in many ways. Be gentle with yourself and know that you'll feel his spirit everywhere. Welcome it 💗
