πThank you Fakirj, The situation for Copain is worse than yesterday. He sleeps, doesn't want to eat much, and barely uses the litter box because he has difficulty moving. One of his front paws hurts, in addition to his back paws. He slept snuggled up against me yesterday. He got up and went to the litter box, and drank a little. This morning he went back to one of the mattresses on the floor in the living room. He moved around a bit to lap up some of the gravy from his food and do a little pee. Since then he's been sleeping soundly for hours. He doesn't seem to be in unbearable pain. He received Metacam yesterday, and I'll give him more tomorrow. I hydrated him with a homeopathic solution for bone pain, which allows him to transition to the lower dose of Metacam for his kidneys. But it's a bit superficial, even if it helps him a little. He's not trying to hide in other places. But I believe my day with him tomorrow will be decisive. All I hope is that he passes away peacefully and without pain at home. Otherwise, we'll have to make one last car trip to the vets, he who loved traveling so much to go on holiday to Grandma's or to the country house. He loved climbing into his very large cage and would wait for the arrival. Tomorrow, I'll see if he remains calm and pain-free. I'm still hopeful, but the signs aren't good. Euthanasia scares me more than anything; I had to do it for three of my former cats, who were very old but more in pain than Copain. I hope that euthanasia is not understood by cats, I doubt it. Then, if this decision has to be made, I've obviously thought about what comes next. I won't be bringing Copain home. Burial in his garden is no longer permitted. I also don't want to leave him at the vet clinic for a group cremation, even though Copain and the other cats deserve to end their lives together. So I've arranged for an individual cremation and to collect his ashes. There's the family garden where all our cats are buried or their ashes are placed in the same spot. There's our garden here where Copain showed up in 2023. There's also the garden in Dordogne, but Copain refused to go there because of the neighbor's dogs, even though with his harness, he followed me along the paths and while I was weeding. Mom just buried her hen Roussette today. She was rescued from a farm before she was euthanized. She lived with Mom for six years. Mom pampered her until the very end. Six years of lovely walks in the garden and a Mom who gave her everything she hadn't gotten in the commercial egg-laying facilities. Including stroking her until the end this morning while hand-feeding her. A terrible spring for our animal friends who are part of the family. They couldn't go outside because of the rains, and with the arrival of the sun, they are deprived of their lives. I hope for the dove above Copain. I hope for the dove above all those who see the end approaching. Good night, I'm off again with my friend in my arms.
A bit chilly this morning but a beautiful day π
A short walk around the village and then work outside. I mowed a good part of the lawn, but my big mower is broken, so with the small battery-powered one it's not going to be easy. That was a close call! π
I see that Copain is not very well, it must be painful for him and for you to see him suffering and not know how to relieve him, see the vet again he will certainly advise you better than we but decisions are sometimes difficult to make. Keep giving him lots of hugs from us π
Good evening and good night fakirj, 3couleurs and ragondelune π And I don't forget to pet the animals π
πΌMathilde is a sweet girl. Seeing that I wasn't feeling well or happy, she came by to give me the carton of eggs she'd received yesterday, just like me. She loves eggs, so I was touched. As for the cats, she's doing the best she can; she's learning. We don't all react the same way, depending on our upbringing and other factors. Hugs to all! πΌ
πGood evening everyone! My votes for the πΈ go to: - Lanvoy Bichon π - Nanar00 π The situation is more critical for Copain, who remains in bed, sleeping for long hours and eating while lying down. His condition is deteriorating. He remains alert when he's out and about, but has eaten less today, drunk less, and sailed less. I took the day off work to accompany him. Have a good week π
Courage, 3 colors! Give my friend a hug for me: he knows you're there, that's the main thing. I'll come back for a longer hug when I'm feeling better. πΆ
π Hi! Thank you Pauletted89 for the cuddles to Copain. He needs it. I took time off work to be with him. I feel the end is near. He eats but lying down and he no longer resumes his favorite activities, even those that help with consolidation. There was some progress last week, but it was short-lived. He is staying in bed much longer than two days ago, with difficulty sleeping, despite painkillers. He sleeps with me, nestled in my belly, as much as possible. We share our nights as before, but I'm awake, trying to know how he feels. He's clinging to me more and more. When I have to get up in the morning, I feel it's difficult for him. Hence my request for sick leave from my doctor today until Thursday morning, but I fear it will take a little longer.
I dread having to make the decision to return to the vets for a diagnosis and a difficult decision to make.
I'm truly heartbroken. Copain, whom I adopted three years ago when he arrived thin and FIV-positiveβa stray who must have been mistreatedβis one of my most adorable cats. The vets say so every time they hold him; he's a real teddy bear, kind and attentive. He lived at least three peaceful years with me, in his own home, with us. It's hard to see that it's not his FIV that's acting up, since I did everything I could to treat him and keep this terrible virus under control. Clearly, good food, care, antivirals, and supplements stop FIV for a long time. Copain would have been 11 years old when I adopted him. Probably bone cancer that has spread due to old injuries caused by abuse, visible on X-rays.
fakirj, it's difficult to explain regarding his computer, imagine a thumb lightly pressed into modeling clay: except that a computer isn't soft: it's just a PC, provided it's her!!! It's the same with the water bowl: each cat has their own bowl, and I'm the one who always adds more, otherwise in the morning there's not a drop left. They risk getting dehydrated. I take it back every time so as not to upset her. I took a look in the big package: toys for the cats, oh, at least there's a brush, but not the essentials: a litter box and a bowl. π Regarding the litter, she told me she has trouble removing the droppings: she's not used to it. At first, she was spending a fortune on litter: straight to the bin! ππ She hadn't even bought a scoop! π I love her very much, but the cats come second. Actually, she's finally bought lots of different brand-name bags of cat food: phew, that's something. It's not easy telling someone they have to buy this or that. that's moralistic
My poor Ragondelune, Is it Mathilde who isn't performing? She seems to leave often, too often, and leave you with the cats. Being a moralist? When animal welfare is compromised, it's normal to report it. That's not being a moralist.
As for the litter, what a waste! When it's not too wet and there are a few droppings, simply remove it with toilet paper and place it in the toilet; a scoop is unnecessary. Afterwards, rake the litter with paper to aerate it. I change the litter every two days for Copain who is sick.
Lots of bags of kibble? But what kind of kibble? Cheap supermarket kibble full of fat and ash? A good bag of vet-prescribed kibble and especially organic hydrating wet food is best. I cook as much as possible for my cats. Especially now for Copain.

In my opinion, she must have accidentally had this problem with the PC; these things happen. π Yes, especially the water, it goes quickly, there are two of them. πΊπΊ You're right, you never know how Mathilde might react. π€ Yes, I agree with you, there are people who like to receive advice. π And others will tell you, just because you do it that way, doesn't mean I have to do the same. π To avoid any trouble, let's wait until we're asked for our opinion. π Dzia is an older female, therefore calmer. π Leo is a crazy young male, he'll calm down with time. π Let's hope for good weather, because if it rains, the cats will want to come inside. π Like you said, it's a lot of work keeping an eye on the cats and having to clean at the same time. π Have a lovely evening! π
πBy the way, only Leo is being mischievous (it's typical for his age). Dzia is as calm as a cucumber. When I came in this morning, Leo had a guilty look on his face. How did he manage to do that with the computer??? π²π²π² In the end, I didn't bring them in. She'll do it tonight; she's leaving again soon for a week at the spa. I'll give them water and food at my door, but they'll stay outside. I can't imagine cleaning the litter boxes and keeping an eye on Leo's mischief; I think it's too much.
