MY POOR KITTY

Do you know how it feels to have a pet that you love like one of your kids? If so, you'll feel my pain. A few days ago I noticed that one of my two cats had been acting weird when he used his litter box. It seemed he would squat for an extended amount of time and just stare off into space. RED FLAG! This was my first cat, so I really don't know a lot about common feline ailes. Anyway, today, I witnessed my POOR BABY doing it again. My brother told me that Boots, my cat, had been doing it ALL DAY! So, on my way to work, I gave his vet a call and was told that he might have blockage in his urinal tract or better know as FLUTD. After I got off the phone with the vet, I just became soooooo depressed about my baby. I mean, I've had him since he was only 5 weeks. Here's our story: When I used to work at the place I call, "the hell hole", there were about 3 kittens abandoned in the parking lot of where I worked. After several attempts to trick, trap, and grab the feisty bunch, we finally got a hold of the black one with a white breast and white paws. I volunteered to keep him for the night and decided to call him Boots. After a night of hearing whining and meowing, I woke up exhausted. But, I could understand his fear of the unknown at such a young age. Anyway, knowing I wasn't supposed to have pets in my place of residence, I decided to take him to the local shelter so he could find a good home. However, the employees said they would immediately euthanize him because he was sick. I didn't take him in for nothing. So, I took my baby to the local vet and got meds and stuff for him. I was only going to keep him until the prescription was complete and he was well. I fell in love with the FUR BALL!! I just couldn't give him away anymore. Here we are going on the second year of his life. AAAWWWW!!! He'll be 2 in November. So, you see, we have history. I'm his one and only mommy and I will do whatever it takes to keep my baby around. We have a doctor's appointment tomorrow. Hope all goes well. Wish him luck, will ya??
