Patches

2006-08-13 Thread Diane Rosenfeldt



This 
morningmy housemate Gail and Ihad to make the decision to help 
Patches to the Bridge. 

As 
you know, he's been refusing all food -- or he'd taste it once and then the next 
time ignore it. In the past few days it became apparent that swallowing 
was becoming an issue, so we took him to the vet this morning. The vet 
said his lymph nodes were swollen and he seemed to be in pretty classic crash 
mode, and rather than put him through more unpleasantness with syringing and 
pills, we chose to let him go. We stayed with him until he was gone, 
quickly and peacefully.

When 
he came to us, he was filthy and full of vermin, and it was days before he would 
let us touch the parts of his body where the mats had been. When he left, 
at least, he was clean and loved to be petted all over. This at least we 
could do for him, and give him all the love and care we could. This 
morning, I told him that if it turns out he gets another time around, he should 
come back to us. He was a dear little soul, and we will miss him. 
Gentlest of Bridge vibes to our Patches.

I 
want to thank everybody here for their support and caring and wonderful 
information during this brief sojourn with Patches. You have all been 
beyond great.

OT: Fred (the undercover cat that shut down a hack unlicensed vet in February) dies in hit by car accident.

2006-08-13 Thread Phaewryn



Not many people can look back on life and say "I made a difference, a REAL, 
visible difference with my life." Fred the cat can say that. Perhaps his purpose 
had been fulfilled, and he's now on his way to his next life, and his next 
mission. No one can know, but it's nice to think that there's hope in this 
world, and in our lives, and deaths.

August 12, 2006
A Detective. A Celebrity. And That Was Just Life No. 1. By MICHAEL 
BRICK
Fred Wheezy, an orphan with half a working lung who recovered to win 
fame as a detective, to star on Broadway and to contemplate a teaching career, 
was killed on Wednesday by a car outside his home in Queens. He was 15 months 
old, known nationwide as Fred the Undercover Cat."He was here and then 
gone in a moment," said his caretaker, Carol Moran.Fred was whiskery and 
black-striped, with darting eyes and no fear, sickly then rambunctious and not 
long for this world. In his time, he etched a parable of the city streets that 
hate you so blithely and without knowing, that hate us all. He was born to these 
streets, and what drew him back none could say.Animal Care and Control 
pulled him nameless and rank from the Brooklyn alleys in September, estimating 
his age at 4 months. He had severe pneumonia, a collapsed lung and a second lung 
partly filled with fluid. He was cribbing like a lame horse, desperate to 
breathe. Treatment failed; his death was scheduled.Then Ms. Moran, a 
Brooklyn deputy district attorney who oversees animal cruelty cases, adopted him 
and a litter mate from a shelter. She named them Fred and George for the Weasley 
twins, the practical jokers of the Harry Potter books. There were antibiotics, 
steam showers and chest poundings, and Fred thrived. He chased her other two 
cats. He chased her dogs, too."He was a live wire," Ms. Moran 
said.In February, Fred served as the come-on in a sting operation 
against an unlicensed veterinarian. Afterward he was the centerpiece of a news 
conference with the district attorney, Charles J. Hynes. Photographers 
coochied-cooed, people laughed, there was coffee. The whole thing was shown on 
TV.Later, Mr. Hynes gave him a Law Enforcement Achievement Award. At a 
breakfast ceremony in Downtown Brooklyn, Fred was applauded alongside police 
officers who had been in gunfights. Last month, he appeared in Shubert Alley 
with Bernadette Peters and Mary Tyler Moore to promote animal 
adoption.There was talk of taking him to city schools to demonstrate pet 
care.At home in Howard Beach, Queens, Fred settled into an indoor life 
of chases and naps and sudden pounces. There was air-conditioning. There were 
sunbeams."He was my baby," Ms. Moran said. "He was very, very sweet. He 
was very attentive to us. He was a pain in the neck to his sister; he chased her 
off the bed."On Wednesday morning, Ms. Moran and her husband opened the 
back door to carry their 14- and 16-year-old dogs downstairs. The cats chased 
one another outside. Only Fred circled the house and ran into the street. He was 
struck by a car and killed instantly."Usually we can catch them right in 
the yard, or somebody will go out under the deck and come out with cobwebs on 
his whiskers," Ms. Moran said. "I don't know what he saw, or what struck him, or 
what possessed him."Copyright 2006 The New York Times Company

Re: Dexter

2006-08-13 Thread Precious Pets, Almost Home
Dear Sherry:

Tell Dexter mom to just take one day at a time!  It is
amazing how the days add up into months!  Trust me, I
know from fresh experience!

My partner/roommate that does rescue with me had a 16
year old cat named Boomer with congestive heart
failure.  Last November of 2005, the specialist gave
Boomer two to four months to live.  We give him his
medication and let him eat anything and everything on
the kitchen table.  Boomer just left us last
Wednesday.  Boomer lived five months more then the
specialist expected! We brought home Popeye's chicken
late Wednesday night after doing an adoption and
checking on our cats at the PETsMART Adoption Center. 
Boomer had his favorite chicken and proceeded to go
back to his resting place.  He threw a blood clot and
his back legs became paralyzed.  We picked him up and
started for the emergency room.  We just got around
the corner from the emergency room and he died in my
arms.  It is hard to go into the kitchen now!  I
expect to see Boomer on the kitchen table waiting for
his Sheba like every morning before his death!  He
will be missed!

I started writing this to assure you that you may have
more time with Dexter.  Not expecting that
reaccounting that night would bring tears.  I have not
cried since that night for Boomer but writing this has
brought back the tears!  Hopefully, Dexter will live
longer then estimated and you and his mother will have
more days then expected to enjoy him!  I am off to
find some tissue!

Thank you so much for your kind words and I am so sorry for your loss of Boomer."Precious Pets, Almost Home" [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:  Dear Sherry:Tell Dexter mom to just take one day at a time! It isamazing how the days add up into months! Trust me, Iknow from fresh experience!My partner/roommate that does rescue with me had a 16year old cat named Boomer with congestive heartfailure. Last November of 2005, the specialist gaveBoomer two to four months to live. We give him hismedication and let him eat anything and everything onthe kitchen table. Boomer just left us lastWednesday. Boomer lived five months more then thespecialist expected! We brought home Popeye's chickenlate Wednesday night after doing an adoption andchecking on our cats at the PETsMART Adoption Center. Boomer had
 his favorite chicken and proceeded to goback to his resting place. He threw a blood clot andhis back legs became paralyzed. We picked him up andstarted for the emergency room. We just got aroundthe corner from the emergency room and he died in myarms. It is hard to go into the kitchen now! Iexpect to see Boomer on the kitchen table waiting forhis Sheba like every morning before his death! Hewill be missed! I started writing this to assure you that you may havemore time with Dexter. Not expecting thatreaccounting that night would bring tears. I have notcried since that night for Boomer but writing this hasbrought back the tears! Hopefully, Dexter will livelonger then estimated and you and his mother will havemore days then expected to enjoy him!

Diane, I am so sorry about patches. My cat kiko went through the same exact 
thing, then we had to do the unthinkable, this was one of the hardest days of my 
life. To give patches another chance at life was a wonderful thing. Patches is 
now at peace, he knows that he was loved and he loved you. God bless you, take 
care.

I'm sorry to hear that you lost your Boomer.  It sounds like you dealt with
a hard diagnosis with wisdom, letting him live each remaining day however he
wanted.   Gentle Bridge vibes to him.

I think that's a good idea about putting it in your signature. I didn't know FVEAP belonged to igive before you just told me.
