Kelley - I hate to say that but your kitty is not urinating because she does not want not because she cannot -- there is someone on a different list brought her cat to her vet and kept their two days until he urinated as he was a CRF kitty -- and I asked her to bring him home right away, it was his decision as he did not feel comfortable or safe to pee as a cat will hold to pee more than a day or two -- and as soon as she brought him home he started peeing like there is no tomorrow -- unless they are doing anything like IV, please bring her home you are only stressing her keeping there and it's not good for her for whatever she is dealing with.
I understand it's overwhelming -- I can relate as I have tons of cats to take care of lots of have certain medical needs and I have a full time job - but just do what you can-- please don't' think that if you can't do everything you are supposed to.. it might well as do nothing.. just do what I can .. I have three kitties right now that I have to assist feed every day.. and 4 kitties who needs sub q fluid on a daily basis, and about a dozen that needs different medications (diabetic, CRF, liver.. and etc..) and it does not always happen the way it's supposed to.. but it's okay,, just do what I can. You might be more overwhelmed by a thought of doing 'everything - -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kelley Saveika Sent: Thursday, April 12, 2007 11:28 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: More info on Joey Ok, well, I talked to the vet and she still has not urinated (which has me concerned) but he has come to the conclusion that she is just one of those cats that wants attention all the time. She has FINALLY started eating on her own (first time she has done this) but he says she will watch to see if you are there and if you leave she will stop eating. She will only eat if you are actively watching her. This is going to be an issue for me because there is no way I can pay any one cat that much individual attention. It just physically isn't possible.
