We had to euthanize one of our beloved cats last weekend. Simba was 14 years old and had lost weight in the last year. We thought she didn't like the dry food we had been feeding which is a special food we have to feed Dakota, and she used to eat it fine so we increased the wet food. She started putting on weight again and everything seemed fine. Until last week. She just quit eating and lost weight and started acting really funny. She looked like she had a cold so I told my OH to get her in to the vet. After they examined her the DR said that we could do further testing but he said it looked like there would be nothing we could do to save her. She had deteriorated so quickly. We chose to euthanize her.
She had a great life with us and she was the most obnoxious cat I've ever had. She was a big talker and would follow you everywhere and holler. Simba, you were loved and will be greatly missed! RIP beautiful, long haired girl!!
On top of losing our cat, I woke up yesterday with the worst cold ever. I am so sick and I leave for Tulsa this week. I tried packing today, but had to stop. I just do not have the energy. I woke up last night with the worst sore throat I have ever had. It was so painful and I was up searching my house for something to help relieve the pain. Thank goodness the sore throat was better this morning. But the cold is in my head and chest and the cough is so painful. I sure hope I can survive this long drive to Tulsa. I haven't had a cold since the day I left for Scottsdale, and it's just my bad luck to hit me right before I leave for Tulsa.
I will be gone now until November. I hope everyone has a great month. Sorry I didn't get any remodel picture's up, but with Simba, this cold and a crazy weekend, I just have not had the energy to get it done.

So sorry you lost your beloved Simba. Take care of yourself and let me know when you get to your destination. Hugs.
I'm sorry for your loss, I know you consider your animals family not just pets. (as do I)
Have you ever tried using a neti pot? I swear it helps me get rid of my colds faster.
RIP Simba

Sorry to hear about Simba - she had a good life with you guys...
Hope you can find some meds to help with the cough - I'm just coming out of 7 days with the flu and the coughing is the worst part.
Have a safe drive to Tulsa
So sorry for your loss - what a pretty kitty.

So sorry to hear of your loss. I waas just looking at my cats yesterday and dreading the day.....
Isn't it amazing how our bodies react to grief? Not surprised you became sick at all after such a loss. Hope you get to feeling better
I am so sorry to hear about Simba. Take care of yourself in Oklahoma. Maybe you will have some sun to help you feel better!
Bless your heart! You will no doubt miss Simba's meowing as she would follow you around. She had such a wonderful life with you.
I hope you get to feeling better!
So sorry about your kitty. I lost my Simba earlier this year too.
So sorry for your loss. Our pets are such a part of our families and it is so rough to lose them. But, as a responsible pet owner you did what she needed. She is chasing dogs at the Rainbow Bridge now!
Sorry about your kitty. She sure is a pretty cat. Its so hard to let them go.
Get better soon!!
What a beautiful cat. I'm sorry.
Sorry to hear about Simba. My cat, who is an unknown age. is having similar issues but seems okay right now. I hope you feel better. It's no fun to be sick and especially not away from home.
Sorry to hear about Simba.
Hoping you get better for the trip to Tulsa, we can wait for remodel pics till you get back.
So sorry about your baby.. Hope you get over that cold.
I'm very sorry to hear about Simba....Feel better and have a good trip!
So sorry to hear about Simba. She was a beautiful girl! Hugs to all who loved her!
I hope you have a good trip... and feel better!
I am so sorry about Simba. 14 years old is a good long life for a cat and I am betting Simba had the most awesome life with you. That's what's most important I think. It doesn't help that you aren't feeling well and you've got a trip to Tulsa just around the corner, but at least you know that Simba is not suffering. (Also very important)
Have a good trip, Paint Girl, I'll bet you'll find some cool things to experience along the way. Like maybe a fun hot tub nestled in between some amber waves of grain.
This has been a tough time for several of us. I am so sorry for the loss of your Simba.
This loving of animals sure is hard on our hearts. The years of love and devotion we get from them is so worth it though.
So sorry you lost your beautiful little Simba. What a lovely post in tribute to her.
I hope you start to feel better soon, and have a safe and enjoyable trip to Tulsa....
Hope by now you are feeling better. Sorry to hear of the loss of Simba.
I'm so sorry to read about Simba. :(
