What an amazing man. X

[DawnTX in reply to sassy59]

Yes he really is and so humble and soft-spoken, except when it comes what he believes in

Hi Dawn, I’m pleased you found such a great doctor. I hope you are continuing to do well and all the kitties you care for are too x

[DawnTX in reply to Threecats]

Hi. Thank you. He is awesome. As far as the kitties it has been crazy. My first one is tragic, but ended up a partial miracle on Good Friday. Long story short, I found three kittens, very cold and lifeless and wet. I got her mother and the kittens inside and performed her massage at Cetera. Two of the kittens responded and now are. beautiful month old babies.

My other cat, Braveheart sadly lost all six of her babies. It appears they may have come too early. She had no milk and it looks as though there were other problems. 😢 she is only nine months old too young also. All five girls will be going to the vet as soon as possible after nursing. Oh yes.

Because Twinkle also had a litter of five that we thought were in the woods. I saw her the other day and watched her and discovered she had moved them to a box outside our garage. Yes, they are inside and warm and safe now with mother.

Speaking of mother the mother of all of the girls delivered three babies March 15. They are hilarious. These little Spitfire’s learned well from their mama. She is an incredible one.

oh, and we have Weenie my all black beautiful girl also expecting I’m not sure win, but I have her inside to keep her safe with the babies. Praying all goes well.

FYI I did not plan on having a huge family of kittens. We had inherited them and unfortunately having a new neighbor who said her cats were fixed It turns out she only claims two of the four that are hers as far as we know. We have appointments for all our girls. Unfortunately, they found boyfriends first. All of these babies will remain with us and be loved forever. We have plenty of room and an acre of land with a garage with a kitty Playland. Nope, we didn’t plan it but oh my goodness if anything is good for your heart having these babies around would be it. I cannot help but smile and giggle watching them the innocence and love is amazing.

These are the little Spitfires the oldest

Goodness Dawn, you have your hands full there but my word, those kittens look adorable 🥰 Watching young animals play is certainly good for the heart!

Thank goodness you are there to look after them all. It sounds like your vet is going to be busy in the coming weeks!

Take care of yourself and thank you for all you do for the kitties x

[DawnTX in reply to Threecats]

thank you honey it’s not hard. It was hard on my heart when I found the first ones and when my little girl just lost her six newborns but things happen for a reason I guess and she is very young only nine months old. It is sad, though they mourn like we do, and she actually tried taking the two kittens from the other mother and carried them upstairs. I noticed she does not look at those babies now I can feel the pain in my heart for her and what she must be feeling because she does not have any. We make a lot of her though which is easy because she is a love.

take care of yourself. Let me know how you are doing.

[Threecats in reply to DawnTX]

It is sad to hear about your little cat losing all her kittens but I’m sure all your extra attention has helped her. My three rescues comprised two adult sisters who had both had kittens. The rescue Center had managed to rehome the kittens belonging to one of the sisters but no one wanted the little black kitten the other sister had, so she stayed with her mum and I took on all three. It worked well, as “ Auntie” had a strong mothering instinct and very much missed her own kittens, so adopted her niece, whereas “Mum” cat seemed only too pleased to relinquish responsibility! I noticed she used to keep an eye on “Auntie” though, just in case! Sadly I lost mum cat to cancer two years ago but Auntie is still going strong and still insists on giving the kitten a wash before bed every night - I might add that kitten is now 11 years old but still acts like a baby when Auntie is around 😄

As for me, I’m not too bad thank you. Waiting on an angiogram next week to see if they can find out what’s causing my chest pain. If I can get that sorted I’ll be bouncing around again 😄

Look after yourself, TC x

[DawnTX in reply to Threecats]

thank you for caring about my babies. They will be staying with us. We will end up with four letters total after Weenie has hers we have plenty of room and land and a garage cat play land, including hammocks for them. Lol it wasn’t planned this way and there won’t be any more babies, although we are thinking of getting, one or two for my little Braveheart. If there are any that have been orphaned, they do not need nursing because she never developed any milk which may have been part of the problem. The vet thinks she might have had a miscarriage. She loves her sisters two kittens. My little miracle babies born on Good Friday, and came back to life. the mother shares the kittens the kittens now run to the auntie and the auntie tries to carry them away sometimes lol I’m thinking having a couple or even one of her own might be a good thing and somewhere there is a little kitten needing a mama Meanwhile, I have to lock my boy in a crate. He will not stay away from the aunt. I did not know they go right into heat after giving birth if things didn’t go well. No more kittens. We have nine new ones and weenie has not given birth yet. As beautiful as the babies are, I have a feeling somethings not quite right in the bloodline. Maybe even in breeding I don’t know all those. These kittens came from the neighbors boys, because ours are all black and white until now. There’s way too many kittens and puppies needing so we are going to stop the madness at this house and just keep loving the ones we have

I’m sorry you’re still having pain. I hope they figure it out sooner than later. I just had an echo, so my doctor can see where my heart failure is at this point. The pacemaker will not fix that as such, although may slow it even possible it could regress a little bit. I am still getting chest aches. Time to time. I will see myy EP next month. If the echo showed anything serious, I would’ve had a call. Bye now.

I am still very tired. I could sleep almost 24 seven if I let myself and if I do anything such as errands I need a nap when I get home so my endurance is still lagging which is why he’s checking on my heart failure. He also thinks my back pain which is chronic and I need surgery for as well as my anxiety could be tiring me. All I know is I feel a lot better than before the pacemaker. Take care thinking of you.

[Threecats in reply to DawnTX]

I’m loving the sound of hammocks for your kitties😹They sound like very lucky cats to have you caring for them! I think you’re wise to prevent them having any more litters once Weenie has had hers though. As you say, there are so many cats and dogs needing homes.

Thank you for your good wishes. I’m sorry to hear you’re still having challenges despite feeling a lot better than you did. Anxiety and chronic pain are certainly very tiring for sure. I hope the results of your echo are ok and it’s a question of your heart still recovering from the lengthy period of very high heart rate you had that is causing your tiredness.

Take care, TC

For some reason the link didn’t work for me Dawn? It seemed to be about someone else getting a prize in fashion retail. Though it’s obviously linked for others.

Good to hear that you’re doing well. Also good luck catching those girl kitties in time when the new kittens arrive!

[DawnTX in reply to Gumbie_Cat]

was that the story for my doctor or should have been?

[Gumbie_Cat in reply to DawnTX]

I think it should have been, but it didn’t seem like it to me when I clicked the link.

[DawnTX in reply to Gumbie_Cat]

I know others saw it on here. Yes, it was an award, but there was more. I’m not sure if I posted the part about the 92-year-old woman, a freedom, fighter he did some thing amazing for. He doesn’t discriminate against stage, and he thinks outside the box is always trying to give us the quality of life.

[Gumbie_Cat in reply to DawnTX]

Wonderful! I can tell that others saw it - just going to the wrong page for me.

[DawnTX in reply to Gumbie_Cat]

if you are on LinkedIn, by any chance, you can actually look him up and see his own page there. What can I say? I love this guy I am a groupie for him lol better than Elvis.

[Gumbie_Cat]

I found a bit via Google. You definitely chose the right doctor. Hope things are still looking up for you - it sounds like it!

At the moment I think I’m lucky, my heart rate isn’t spiking too high and I’m feeling less tired on hills and stairs. Still get sleepy in the afternoon.

It’s possibly taken these five months to get over the ablation too, but I’m more optimistic that I might be lucky and able to get along on the rate control plus apixaban. It was hard to think of never being in sinus rhythm, but as long as the rate is controlled to prevent heart failure, then I’ve come to terms with that. Though I do keep it in mind that there is pace & ablate as a backstop! Your story has been inspiring.
