I agree with you, Denise. Cats are so different and I think it's bred into them that they have to hide illness or weakness of any kind. You know, the "predator" thing? But if you know your cat well and watch them, and yes, trust your instincts, you *know* when something just isn't quite right. And LOL about your comment about applying ointment. -- Piggy's Pad

In reply to: Denise 's message, "Cats are odd creatures. I catch most illness's by seeing them do something abnormal or sleep somewhere they normally don't and it makes me watch them and sure enough, they are sick. We don't trust our instincts enough but we know them best! Glad you saw the cyst and she will be home and healing up. Bet it would be a hard place to apply ointment if needed! LOL Are they checking her out in general too? Maybe infection spread and she felt blah?" on 9:42:09 am, Wed, 07/25/07

I know what you two mean..I've beem watchng Maggie like a hawk, now that I thnk of it, probably since Saturday maybe....sort of noticing something was wrong, but not quite sure what it was...she left food in her dish but not enough to concern me but enough to show up as "strange for Maggie" then last night was the topper..as you said Denise, she was laying in an odd spot, and acting strangely....still wasn't sure what exactly was going on, but it was obvious it was something...

thankfully we all know our kitties (and puppies) well enough that we can watch them and know something is going on....unfortunately sometimes it just takes us awhile to figure it out..... (NT) -- Kate, 12:08:14 pm, Wed, 07/25/07
