Vibes please for my sweet boy Cali

[LoveMyCali]

Cali is my 9 year-old rag doll whom many of you here helped win the Nestle's pet of the month award several years ago. It seems he may have had a stroke this morning and they are keeping him at the animal hospital to see if there are any changes but the vet warned me that it is very serious and I should be prepared to make a difficult decision if things don't improve.

I am a blubbering mess so summoning up any positive thoughts at this point is very difficult so Cali and I could use all the help we can get.

3. Aw, my dear LoveMyCali...

It IS so hard.

I hope your great memories will help sustain you as you endure this time of grief...

[LoveMyCali]

7. I'm waiting for word from the vet

it has been a VERY difficult day so far.

[RebelOne]

6. I am sorry. I just hope that he recovers.

Nine years old is fairly young for a cat. I feel your grief because I have lost a few dogs within the past 10 years. I am sending good vibes to Cali and am hoping for the best.

[LoveMyCali]

8. Thank you

I'm wondering if his size has anything to do with it. He's a big boy weighing in at about 19 pounds but that isn't unusual for his breed.

9. Love, hugs and healing thoughts coming your way!

My dog had a stroke a few years back, but his whole system had been compromised by a lung tumor. I hope your Cali pulls through.

[LoveMyCali]

I just talked to the vet and things don't look good but we will wait until the morning to see if things change.

14. Loving pets is both joyful and sad.

Joyful because of the love and attention they give and sad because we generally outlive them. Do whatever you think is best for Cali -- he relies on you. Best wishes.

[LoveMyCali]

16. He can count on me

as hard as it is for me I can't let my sweet boy suffer. I do trust this vet and while I'm hoping for a miracle I will take the vets advice. Thank you for the well wishes.

21. Thank you everyone for the well wishes

Cali headed for the rainbow bridge today. He will be missed horribly but I was with him until the end and he knew he was loved.

[RebelOne]

22. So sorry. I am sure he went peacefully with you there.

I feel your pain. I have lost 3 dogs in the past 10 years and it is heartbreaking to lose a furry child.

[Phentex]

29. Oh no!

I just saw this thread. I'm so sorry.

[GoCubsGo]

32. I am so sorry.

We lost one of my cat-nieces to a stroke a couple of months ago. Hers came as a complication from surgery.

[Rhiannon12866]

25. OMG!!! Why didn't you call me?!

Lots of love to you and Symone and please, please let me know! I'm here for anything that you need...

[LoveMyCali]

31. It was very sudden.

He seemed fine Monday night, even followed me everywhere as usual and sat on the top step of the step stool in the kitchern while I did dishes. Tuesday morning he walked into the bedroom and I thought he just layed down clumsily because I heard him thump but he couldn't get up or use his hind legs.
I thought of calling you but I've pretty much just been crying for two days. Symone is very upset, she stayed under the bed all day yesterday.

[Rhiannon12866]

33. I can't even imagine...

I just wish I could have been there for you. I know that fright so very well. I am so, so sorry. He was a completely amazing cat and I know how you felt abut him, the connection and how proud you've been of him, and with good reason. After reading this before I went to bed, I kept waking up and had horrible dreams. I thought he was pretty incredible, too, and feel terrible all on my own. But I'm mainly feeling for you. Please let me know if there is anything... really.

[Rhiannon12866]

26. For those who weren't here in 2006, here is the beautiful and much loved Cali: ;(

[turtlerescue1]

34. A beauty.

There are NO words but a lot of:

[Rhiannon12866]

35. Just a stunning cat with a great temperament

And he's always been so very special to my good friend because of his background. She found him through rescue, needed a new home when his devoted owner was deployed to Iraq. She knew right then that this was the cat for her...

37. sad

27. I'm not the praying kind, but I'm hoping for the best outcome possible
