China purrs?

I am a frantic Mama. Tomorrow we take our China-Doll in to get a
sonogram. Last month we took her to the vet and he said he thought he
heard a heart murmur. He sounded almost dismissive, like it was
something low-grade, but asked to schedule ultrasound anyway. All
kinds of evil run through my head--why was it never heard before? Is
her heart breaking down suddenly? Am I going to have to put another
baby down before her time? China is so active and playful, it's hard
to imagine her heart going to hell. The memory of losing another Doll,
my Odessa, almost two years ago is still too fresh. I want to keep
this one with me a little while longer, selfish beast that I am, I
want to keep her going by any means necessary until it is no longer
medically nor humanely possible.

Forgive my ranting, please. I am at my own heart a neurotic who checks
the refrigerator for a hiding cat before leaving the house. I can
convince myself that I have testicular cancer (and the day that
happens, I want a first class ticket to Maury's show.) Please send up
a few for my China, and maybe one or two for her very worried Mama!

Blessed be,
Baha

We're sending purrs. I sure understand how hard it is to not worry about
those things.

Sit quietly, take a deep breath (and let it back out) and listen.

And I know where you are coming from, I was raised by a world class
hypochondriac. Always borrowing trouble.

A heart murmur in a cat or even in a human in only a symptom. Usually
of something very (or relatively) minor. Sometimes just needs to be
watched. Usually treatable by a small amount of inexpensive
medication.

Not a big deal. Not a big deal at all. Especially when you have a
mommy and daddy that take care of you and dote on your every whim.

Molly purrs for your anxious heart.

Jake sends "its no big deal" rumbles to China Doll. He is quite proud
of himself. Been under treatment for CHF for several years now. And
confounds his vet by coming up on the counter every day to beg for his
pill pocket with his daily dose inside.

Vet says pill pockets don't work for cats. Nothing is ever true of
all cats.

Purring for it to be nothing but quite understanding what a worry it
is- you are in the presence of a woman who starts panicking days
before their annual checks- what if they find something? When the
Fabulous Furballs were spayed Dave and me sat in the cafe over from
the vets..."Sat" not the word as we paced the floor so much the cafe
owner probably billed us for damage to the lino! We'd ordered a huge
breakfast and ate none of it, just endless cups of tea and coffee to
the extent we were both hyper when the call came to come and collect
them.....the vets were pretty suprised when 2 minutes later we were
there, with their carrier! But we didn't want to go home and wait
there

When Fugazi and Isis were spayed about two hours after we;d left them-
we'd decided not to go home and try and have a nice day out ending
with collecting them- Dave burst into tears in the middle of a pub,
which set me off. We were nearly banned but when I said to the
landlady "Sorry about this but we've dropped our kittens off this
morning for their spay" she immediately recalled sending her own
kitten off for his chop and told us she hadn't been able to function
at all that day until he was home. (We saw said cat -madnificent he
was!)

Sending purrs for your frazzled nerves, and for China's heart to be OK.

My 86 year old mother has had a 'minor' heart mummer for at least 35
years, that I can remember. Possibly longer.

Special purrs for the mummer to be 'minor', and nothing that will affect
China, or keep her from living to a ripe old age.

I know how it is to worry over your cat's health! I've been doing a LOT
of that, lately.

"Life without cats would be only marginally worth living."

Every day is a treasure with Kenzie; I try to treat them that way. There
will only be so many, and then there will never, ever, be any more.

How you behave towards cats here below determines your status in Heaven.

You can't help being anxious about your baby but all may yet be very
well, and probably will be.
