Raise money for Erika's sick cat.

[Sarah]

have I ever told you guys that we're simply the best?

P.S. Why do my posts so often end up at the top of a new page?  It's disconcerting.

I'm glad to hear that your cat is doing better!

Having 2700 plus posts will mean you have a lot of posts everywhere on the page.  You simply notice the ones at the top because they are notable.

Oh, dear, there I go again.

[Sarah]

You are right.  And I am dumb.

I'm late here, but if there's still a need, I can kick in!
I hope things go well, Erika.
And Jason - PM me if you need it...

Still collecting?  If so, put me down for $30.

[erika]

Thanks but I think we're OK I do appreciate it though.

(If you're still feeling generous -- and this goes for anyone -- please donate it to the ASPCA. They always need it.)

Hi FOT's who I don't still talk to elsewhere...

Been a crazy year, and I haven't been listening to TBS as much as I should, but I've been listening lately and other events made me think of this whole thread/episode in my life. This was still the nicest thing that anyone has ever done for me, and I will never forget it.

Sasha was put to sleep almost three months ago. It will be three months next week. She had acquired diabetes in 2010 and had lost a lot of weight despite being treated with insulin, etc. Couldn't watch her get any worse and when she stopped snuggling we knew it was time. There will never be another kitty like her.

Very tough end to a tough year. But she had three+ years of extra time with me and I will always appreciate that...

Here's to you all and all other FOT's. And here's to a better 2012 xo

I'm glad you got some more time with your cat.

I have an elder cat myself who was getting lethargic and showing signs of diabetes (such as drinking excessive water).  She no longer shows these signs since I stopped overfeeding her (I didn't know that I had been) and switched her to wet food.  So I'm thankful I'll have some more time with my tiny ball of hate, claws, and snuggling.

I'm glad you got bonus time with your cat and I'm glad to have helped in my own small way.

[erika]

yesno, don't be afraid of the insulin injections if you eventually have to go to them. They're actually super easy to administer, even to the most sketched out kitties.

The wet food is an excellent choice. Sasha's sugar was lower when we gave her any of the Fancy Feast Classic varieties. Don't give anything with gluten or sugar -- aka gravy -- in it.

The problem with Sasha was that she was on other medication that was making the diabetes worse so we were kind of causing an issue and treating it at the same time. But diabetic kitties without other complications can do well for a LONG time!

Sasha ran around like a goofball even up until her last few days with us. The extra time was worth it 100%.

Thanks, I'll make sure to get the classic food.  The cat does love that disgusting gravy/gel, though.

ps: I will need my money back, of course.  I'm sure you understand.
