My cat needed surgery for a hernia. He had the operation yesterday, and I was able to bring him home today. I'm just keeping him quiet, giving him his medicine, and hoping for the best.
Times like this I *hate* being on my own. I've had so much shit to deal with in the past year. And because I ended things with my refuser, I've had to deal with it all alone.

I hope your cat is okay @smartkat, and I hope you can get some rest tonight. |

Oooooh! It would be nice if you could take him to work in his carrier. One of the young women in my husband's office brought her cat after some surgery. He said it slept in its carrier under her desk all day. It was just happy to be close to her.

SK , hope the kitty has a quick recovery. It so sucks having to deal with difficult things like this alone. {{hugs}}

I just have to remember that when I was living w/Ex, I had to deal with cat things alone anyway. It feels tempting- very often - to think that what I'm facing would be easier with a mate to help me out (even if that's limited to psychological support). But actually- it wasn't easier with my particular mate.
Some person out there could be helpful, but when looking for emotional support, I've been able to quit looking in my past - b/c he really wasn't the kind of help that I get now from other "real-er" new friends.

Wishing you AND kitty recovery and healing.
My dog is 13 and aging faster than ever. When I see something wrong with her, I wish my husband would recognize her ailment and my fear and unease. Nope. "Oh she's fine," he says. It's kind of like working through it alone.

Hopefully your cat does well. Even though I was married, there were times that I felt closer too the did them my wife and would have rather been just the 2 of us. The dog and me that is. |

Well, today it's 2 days later. He's still lethargic and does not want to eat.
I was supposed to have a coffee date tonight to meet a guy from a dating site, but I cancelled and explained way. I'm too worried about that cat to focus on meeting somebody this evening.
Funnily enough, my refuser has been pretty supportive via text and email.

Try feeding him a little bit of baby food, the vet said it works as an appetite stimulant. I have also watered down the canned food so the cat would drink and she would eat some. |

My two are doing fine, although the calico is kind of down. My wife is her main human, so the calico misses my wife, who is still in the rehab hospital. Now the cat comes to sleep with me, chasing out the male, who now bothers my son. But that's okay - my son needs to be bothered by the cat. As for your date, if he says he understands and reschedules, that is a very good sign. I would be upset if I found out my date left a sick cat at home to see me. |

If he doesn't, then he is not an animal person and your don't need that negativity in your life.

When I texted the man, he seemed to be very understanding about it and we agreed to postpone until Saturday. And, the cat seems to have perked up a bit. He got very affectionate with me. So then I went out and got some baby food (as hopingforachange suggested) - and he ate a couple of bites of the baby food. I feel a lot better now. I never had human children, so I guess my maternal instinct goes to pets. |

Personally speaking, in similar situations in my past, the sick cat would have been one more thing for *me* to deal with, as well as my ILIASM deal, and there would have been no support coming from my spouse either.
If Mr @smartkat was at least supportive of you in a "sick cat" scenario, then you were miles ahead of where I was at that time.

Yes, we had other problems besides the lack of sex. No, I don't want to get back with him (unless a miracle occurs and we can have a normal relationship - and I'm not holding my breath.) But, he wasn't as horrible as some of the refusers we talk about here. |
