Meg....I am so glad I didn't miss this post!! Tidgy is indeed one tough broad! Her eyes have so much life & sparkle in them...she is your Christmas Miracle....I had mine last year when I found Graycie...I know how you feel towards your baby girl!!
Thank you for sharing these great pictures of your beloved cat!
Hugs, Lidia
These are so cute. I can just see her doing this. Glad to see you are feeling much better as you are able to take the pictures and tell us the story. I would say your eyes are staying open longer now. Hope Ray is doing as good as your are. Will continue to keep you in my thoughts and prayers. Good to see you back.
Adorable! Thanks for the update! It is always great to read about the progress of those for whom we pray, whether is for themselves or their wonderful pets!! Thanks again! hugs for you and Tidgy!
She is gorgeous and still going strong! I have 5 cats including Josie who was 18 in September. She lost an eye a few years ago and then got skin cancer on her ears and had to have them removed. So now she looks like a guinea pig bless her lol Most days she just sleeps and she's quite wobbly on her feet sometimes, but she still has life in her when the 20 month old tabby tries to scare her!! Happy Birthday Tidge XX
happy 18th birthday Tidge. Thank you sharing these lovely pictures, hugs Gerry
AWWW! This brings tears. Definitely deserves a fish cake!!
Hugs, Nadyne
ps Glad to see you are better
Thanks Nadyne, I often have tears if I think too much about the inevitable so I try to push it to the back of my mind and be grateful for every single day. I am like that with my family too since the close call with cancer, it is difficult not squeezing the daylights out of them when ever I see them. Hugs and roses, Meg
What a wonderful series of pictures. I am with Jerilyn she deserves a fishcake for her birthday. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TIDGY
Oh! that is so cute, I know how much cats love to watch fish. Have you got 2 aquariums there now Meg? Looks like Tidgy is enjoying herself totally, love and blessings Chris
I couldn't resist grabbing the camera, she was so adorable and so gentle and it was the first day she had even noticed the fish, but then she doesn't leave the bedroom very often these days. Are you still coming on Friday? I'm feeling much better, even did some housework today. :-) See you Friday. Hugs n love, Meg
Nice to see these pictures of her being fascinated by the fish and motion. Keep doing what you have been --- sure is working well for her.
happy birthday Tidgy girl! happy for you too meganne.
Looking great. Must be all the love from her mum!!
What a doll! My sisters cat is just as old and she has thyroid disease too. She has to be given meds and blood work. She went from 8 pounds to 5 pounds. She eats 6 times a day too. She is not giving up yet either. Suzanne
It is so difficult watching our precious fur babies going downhill, Tidgy has gone from 10 lb down to just under 7, but her coat is still good and she still cleans herself and always uses her litter tray, though I have had to put it in my ensuite to make it easier for her.
Sometimes she wakes up crying as if she is lost and it upsets me so to hear her, but a cuddle and reassurance from mum and she settles back down. I wish your sister well in her battle. Hugs and blessings, Meg
Hi Meg, what a delight to see Tidgy. A Happy Birthday to your furbaby. Many thanks for the pics, hugs S*
She looks pretty good in the photo's doesn't she?
Hard to imagine she is now under 7lb and I'm afraid you can see her spine far too clearly. She eats three times the amount of her two brothers but the over active Thyroid burns up everything she eats, so her dinner bowl is refilled every time she empties it. She is a very long cat and had always been lithe and active. I think that is why she is such fighter. Thanks for your wishes.
What a joy to see her enjoying life. Happy birthday Tidgy.
Thanks Karen. yes she sure got excited when she saw the fish in the aquariums. Even now she is laying on the towel in front of the largest one, normally she rarely leaves our bed these days so it is wonderful to see the spark return to her eyes. hugs and roses, Meg
Meganne thank you for the funny pics. Yes she is a real fighter like her mommy ;o)
Happy Birthday to Tidgy ! Wish you a long time with your precious girl. Since I put my last cat to sleep I developed an allergy against cats and dogs :o(
Greetings, Bettina
Thanks Bettina. I can understand your newly acquired allergy. They sure do break your heart, even when you are expecting it, it comes as a shock how much it hurts when we lose them. HUgs and love, Meg
How precious! I love my big boy as much, and he's only 11yrs. He was a rescue, and had suffered so much. His prev. owner had him declawed and it was a botched job--had to be done again (it is still botched), but his poor paws had swollen hugely before seeing another vet. Such a cruel thing to do to an animal. I hope Tidgy will be with you for many more yrs. I know she brings joy into your life.
Oh how I despise cruelty to animals. I also have a rescue Big Boy Russian Blue whose owners abandoned when they moved house and left him behind. He is always the first one on my lap, within seconds of me sitting down, he weighs 20 lbs and is probably 7 -8 years old. Then there is my 12 year old Himalayan boy who is the light of my life, and my 12 year old Cocker Spaniel, who would also be on my lap if she was given half a chance. LOL!!!
How does anyone live without furry friends?
Thank you for your wishes. hugs and roses, Meg
