Need Healing PRAYERS for my Baby Kitty

I know it's been a while since I have posted here but I know how powerful we all can be when we set out intentions to it...

My 9 month old kitty got a hold of something that must have been poisoned and he is losing blood...he's been in the vet's since morning and she just called me to say that she needs to keep him overnight and that the vitamin treatment isn't kicking in yet...he may need a transfusion by tomorrow morning...

He is a HUGE loving orange & white tabby tomcat and has never had any health issues. Please help me in holding him in golden healing light and that his youth and strength will help him kick this...that the vet will come in tomorrow morning and he will surprise her by being better!

thanks guys

He looks like such a lovely kitty and I've always had a soft spot in my heart for orange tabbies. One of my early kitties in my childhood was and orange tabby.

I'm taking mine, Benny, to the vet right now. He's been throwing up and crying in pain. Keep me in your thoughts as well.

the vet called and said his pupils dilated and fixed, she thinks the bleeding may have hit his brain... we had to say goodbye.

The kids are inconsolable and I am not much better. The dog is confused, where is her playmate?


I can't believe we lost him so fast....

I wish I could say something wonderful to bring him back/

I'm going to ask my fur angel to greet your fur angel and show him the way.

And now beautiful clouds will always remind you of your kitty.

Maybe your kitty needed to leave to make room for and watch over the next kitty that is coming to you. And maybe that kitty really needs you and your family.

Maybe he was eclipsed to make room for the new.

I really cannot believe the grief that is coming out of me, and how much that little furball got caught up in my heartstrings.

I swear, when my parents finally pass, I am gonna need to be sedated, cuz I just don't handle this sort of thing well...

FL, I am so sorry.

I know no words can soothe you now. Do what you need to do to take care of you. I felt like a part of me died when my furbabies died; I'm sure you feel the same.

Please remember that your sweet baby is not in pain.

you are a good friend and I appreciate your love from afar so much!

I talked to the vet at length and she said there was nothing I could have done differently, she made sure he was soothed as he left...and we are gonna go ahead and have him cremated. The kids and I bought some beautiful flowers to plant in a circle...an "O" for Ozzy...

I swear, I cannot believe how much grief permeates your cells sometimes, you know? And how grieving in general becomes deeply connected to every time we have ever grieved for the loss of life and loved ones. My mom pointed out that this is preparation for when others pass and there's nothing we can do to stop that process but everytime we see a rainbow we talk to my grandma
...and we will have Ozzy as a totem for a long time to come as well, I think.

I swear his spirit is so close we can still hear him chirruping and can feel him laying on our beds at night. Seems like nighttime is when we feel it the most. The kids both had bad dreams last night and needed comforting...devin was saying how much he missed ozzy laying next to him and purring, like he could almost feel him..I told him me too

they *do* stay close to us to make sure we are okay, don't they?

sat in our favorite spot on the sofa, I could hear her purring right next to my right ear. Another cat was always there at bedtime, rustling around in the covers, kneading her paws and settling down for the night. I swear I could feel her little self snuggling up against my legs. I think they stay as long as we need for them to. Bless you and your family in this time of sorrow. You gave that little kitty a good life.

I am so sorry for your loss, FL. I was sending light from work; am so sorry Ozzie didn't make it, but I do believe his spirit is still with you.

As long as we need them, they stay. Especially so, I think, when their death is untimely. For months I would see the kitty, just lurking around the corner.

And my beloved kiwi, a budgie, visited me off and on for years. For months after I lost him, I couldn't concentrate because he was hovering around me and as soon as I was alone, would sing, chirp and fly about. His spirit stayed nearby for years actually, and I could just sit quietly and think of him, and he would show up. When his mate, Mango, died just a couple months later (essentially she committed suicide) she was there with him, although she'd never been close to me.

A baby bird I'd started to raise died after I made a mistake. I had left him in a box under my other bird's cages so he could hear them during the day and not be lonely. I failed to completed lock Benny's cage one morning, and Benny bit the baby on the beak. I knew something was wrong driving home from work, and arrived to find the baby, Cricket, with its beak half torn off. There was no repairing it, so I had to have Cricket euthanized. I was devastated. Crickett stayed with me for a while and I apologized to him. He didn't understand why I blamed myself. He told me (in mental images) the big green bird hurt him. He was very happy to be free and flying, and thought he might get to be born again and flew off.

At the time, I thought my imagination was running overtime, because I didn't think birds could see color. It was years before I learned that they do see color, and I realized that it really was Cricket.

Algiers did not stay, but that was because we did our mourning together while he was still alive. He was ready to leave this plane. However, when he was younger, we communicated all the time. I always knew from home when something was seriously wrong with him...

yes...i swear I am seeing him everywhere. It must be part of the shock/denial that makes me keep wishing he'd just jump in the window with his little mrrrowp! and just be here like nothing ever happened. I am also really REALLY wanting to go out and get another orange kitty like him just because I miss him so much and I want his cuddles...but I know it is not the time.

meanwhile I just keep talking to him as he's here, telling him how much I miss his fuzzy face and his fur and his beautiful orange eyes...

but yes, he's still talking to me for sure...and the kids. I am so glad they are open to his being a totem for us now and they know he can still be here with us even without a body
