    I am right here with you.  Crying...I can't stand this part.  I truly hope that lovely orange marmalade cat gets better.  I just really wish they could live forever...totally unrealistic...I know.

    melandrupert

    fish girl I have been bubbling reading every ones comments everyone on this site who has made comments and thier preyers I jusy know what to say thank you again and again I to wish they could live for ever but that isnt going to happen we just have to enjoy thier short little lives thank you again xxxx

    May Harvey exercise his God-given nine lives to get through his ordeal!

    melandrupert

    Chiangmai thank you so much for your thoughts I will post later and let every one know what is going on thank you again xxx

    Prayer for you both, but we all know that pets have shorter lives than us, that is why some won't have them, pray that God gives Harvey a few more years.

    melandrupert

    Thank you Randy I know what you mean they do bring so much Heart ache but I also feel they bring so much love in to your lives as well thank you again Randy for your thoughts xxx

    Love and light along with a prayer of healing for Harvey. Sorry your hurting like this...a big hug to you.

    melandrupert

    Thank you so much mom your right it does hurt its my Husbands Birthday tomorrow and he said I might have the best present in the world if Harvey comes home and the worse present if we have to say good bye thank you again mom xxx

    My daughter had a ginger cat just like Harvey,she called him Cargo.Oddly enough he had bladder problems too.He has passed but it wasn't the bladder problems that took him,it was a car.I hope Harvey gets better Mel or at least that he doesn't suffer.

    FISH-O

    It is not odd for male cats to have bladder problems. It's a miracle if they don't nowadays. It's because of ph in their urine and many other things. Feed your cats well. Make sure they are drinking lots and lots of water to flush those kidneys and bladders out.
    Stay away from the junky cat foods. Cats are carnivorous...they don't go along and eat an ear of corn. Check the labels of the cat food you are buying.
    Tommyh

    Thanks fishgirl but we don't have cats anymore since Kellie moved out.LOL
    melandrupert

    Thank you Tommy for your comments sorry to here about Cargo thanks again xxx

    Mel, I am sorry I did not see this earlier. I had some errands to do. Harvey is such a handsome little man. I have prayed for him and have the feeling, that he is going to be OK. After my cat Lucky disappeared I went to the humane Society and brought home two young cats and named them Adam and Eve, because they were dropped off in a box  on New Years eve. They were not used to human contact. It took Adam 3 month and Evie 6  month to be comfortable with  us humans. Then Adam had a blocked Bladder too and it was touch and go, but he made it through. Thats why I believe Harvey will make it through too. I will pray for him until he is better and is home with you.I understand your agony. They are our furry little children. Take care and let us know about harvey. Lots of love and lots of prayers. Ann

    melandrupert

    Thank soooooo much Ann I knew you wouldnt let me down I never said anything before he rushed in last sunday night it to do with the areather (cant spell that) its too small his penis went back inside and he was operated on for 1 and half hours he his grossley over wieght because he has been on steriods for about a year for a skin complaint then last year we had to have is eye out before we got him he had lived out side for 4 yrs and we got a dog kennel and in winter we would put a hot water bottel in his bed as we couldnt take him in as we had 2 poorly cats and when they died we let him in and he has never wanted to go out since we have had him for 3 yrs now but he has been through the wars and now this! Ann thank you again for yours preyers they mean so much to me thank you my freind xxxx
    Ann

    Mel, You have so much compassion and love for animals and Harvey is one lucky cat that came into your life. I dont believe there are accidents in life. God send him to you, because he knows your heart and the love you have for animals. I hope and pray that he is going to make it through. If it werent for you, he probablty would not be alive today.I keep praying for him. Love and prayers, Ann

    melandrupert

    thank you so much jhharlan for your preyers god bless you for thinking of him thank you again xxxx

    It is a beautiful  day here, sunny and warm. I have asked God to send a sign that Harvey is going to be alright. A big white bird was flying over the water at that moment a distance away. I have never seen  a bird so big and all white. I dont know what it means. Hopefully by the time you read this, Harvey is on his way to recovery! Love and Prayers, Ann

    melandrupert

    Ann well that bird did something when we bought him home UK it was about 11,45am UK time and he passed his first wee with no blood in it! he went straight out to drink from the pond its his favorite drinking hole then came back and had a wee, We couldnt belive it as we let the Vet had said he was not passing any urine and the bit he did pass was blood and told us that if he sruggles in passing urine we had to take him back and he would have to be catherized and then we will have to take the option of him being put down or a very exspensive opperation cut a long story short we spoke to our own vet and he quoted a 1/4 in what they were going to charge which is really good news anyway I am not counting my chickens yet until tomorrow I will update you tommorrow Ann thank you big white bird and a massive thank you from Harvey and me and Hubby love you so much Ann god bless you too and your family and all the paws you support xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
    Ann

    MEl, This is wonderful news. The bird was a sign, that Harvey was going to make it.At the time I did not understand what it meant. Harvey is determined to live. With so much love from you and your hubby he is going to beat the odds. He passed urine without blood, that is a miracle. I did not realize that this Vet was not your own Vet. I had problems with a Vet that charged me so much more money for tests than another one I am using now. Just hang in there, with Gods help he will be alright. Talk to you tomorrow. Love and prayers, Ann
    melandrupert

    Ann thank you so much not very good today he has started to pass blood but when we spoke to OUR vet he said this is quite normal as he has been catherterized for a week so he will pass blood as its red raw up there we will see the OUR vet tommorrow as I really dont trust these other Vets I think they are just F2 like just finnished med/vet school! we have decided that if its blocked (bladder) we will not subject him through any more we will have put to sleep he is in uncomfortble and dont blame him he keeps wondering around all we can do is lokk after him and do our best I just prey he will pull through tomorrow I cant bear it if he is pain as you know Ann they cant tell you thank you Ann for listening to me I will update tomorrow I have asked Colleen to do a update for me as I am so busy with work and trying to watch Harvey as he is passing his urine every 20/mins and I have to check o see how much blood comes out will talk later thank you agian for being so concerned truly a freind xxx
    Ann

    Mel, This normal for your cat to pass some blood after beeing catherized.How old is Harvey? Adam was 11/2 years old when it happened to him. You are an icredible person.I have been praying for him all along.I hope he will be better today.Please let us know when you can. Love and prayers, Ann
    melandrupert

    Ann thank you for your comment thats reasurance that they bleed we dont know how old he is as he was a stray we have had him for over 2yrs and we fed him out side for two years the Vet thinks he could be 8/10/12 so lets all pick heee he is a sleep at the moment thats why I have come on site, this morning the blood was quite thick but now its pink! like watery pink! he is very grumpy wont have anything to do with the other cats and they arnt happy I am sure they will get over it! I hope so thanks Ann for all your preyers if there is any change I will let you know love you Mel xXXXX
    melandrupert

    Ann just a up date we took him to the vet this morning to have his cathater out the good news is that there no cyrstels in or on the cathater and it looked very clear he has been twice since it has been removed bu only little wees its too early to say at the moment wether he will be fine as last friday he had one removed and was going fine up till Sunday then on Sunday he blocked so still need the preyers please well Ann my friend as soon as I know any more I will inform you thank you again for all support love as always mel xxxx

    I have just read about Harvey and it has made me sad. Please don't lose hope. He is a beautiful cat. What can I say. Yes I will prey for him.

    melandrupert

    west-bus thank you so much for your thoughts I know you would understand what I am going through as like most of us on this site love animals everyone has been so caring my heart goes out to you and everyone who has commented about my Harvey thank you again west xxx

    Wishing Harvey a speedy recovery.I can't be around cat's too long or my eyes will swell shut,but a couple of years ago one showed up on our back porch ready to have a litter in the dead of winter and Cleaveland winters can get pretty bad anyhow she had her kittens right there on the porch and my wife wanted to bring them in and i said no way but I did build them a house in the yard to keep them out of the cold and we fed them,so low and behold about a month ago mom had litter # two under the front porch(she must have went under there when I had the lat's off doing some work and I did'nt know she was under there so I put the lat's back on so she was trapped under there for like a week until I heard her crying to get out so I freed her and here she comes with two more new kitten's),man she was one happy cat,so here I'am with five cat's,mom,two from her 1st litter and two new one's I'am not a cold person so I guess that house I build will get good use again this winter.When I'm outside one from the 1st litter follow's me where ever I go( I can be around them as long as it's outside and it's not too long,so I do play with that one a little bit,but I still don't like them but when they look at me with those sad eye's what are you to do???,give in...Get well Harvey...

    Bob/PKB

    It has got to be emotionally draining to be on pins and needles for Harvey. My big ol' Tom had his kidneys block up and I didn't notice his distress until it was too late (he was an outside cat; I had about 15 at the time....long story). I bawled my head off losing him. The fact that Harvey has hung in there and can still be treated is a really positive sign as far as I am concerned. Truly, my prayers for a complete recovery. XO
    melandrupert

    thanks Bob he was rushed in this morning as he was blocked again they are flushing his bladder out still waiting by the phone to see how he is thank you for your preyers god bless you and your animals xxx paws for ever

    Oh bless your heart. I know how much you love your cat, because i love my pets very much.I will be praying for you ad Harvey.

    melandrupert

    DNanners thank you for the comment and the preyers for Harvey we are back the vet in a hour or so he is still blocking cant pass urine I will keep everyone informed later thank you again xxx
    DNanners

    melandrupert, I believe that all animals know God, just watch horses in a field they know when bad weather is comming! Also the Bible says a righteous man regards the life of his animals...
