Dave told her she knows things happen. He said she sounded upset, but knows he will be okay after he told her how he appeared when we saw him before we left.
So I am going to call her now. Please give me the strength for this call.
I just stop by a minute ago to see him hes comfortable hes very loopy my mom didn't want to go to see him because she didn't want him to wanna go home with her.When you pick him up, can you swing by to show Mom?
Your mom is truly awesome.
Really?he told me about a fentanyl patch that he can use on his foot for 5 days
I never knew this existed either but it actually is a good thing because then nobody has to make him uncomfortable trying to give him a pill. And if he goes home to my mother on Friday she will not have to give them any pain medication.Really?
I thought cats licked constantly....
The fact that he is still here is a great sign. Prayers up for a full recovery. Accidents happen. I know how you feel. I was beating myself up when Bella injured herself. It is hard not to feel awful but it is truly not your fault. You did not throw JJ in front of the car. He got out.I am mad, crushed all at the same time! Mad the door wasn't latched shut. Angry that he got hurt, he is her everything. So he's not going home to her. Now I have to tell her he's in the ER. She was so excited he was coming home tomorrow. What a let down. I do not think he was run over, maybe knocked by the front tire, and rolled over by the plastic air damn under the car.
I will be up at 6 am and will call to check on him. He meowed at us, his eyes were normal and bright.
Just praying his lung begins to heal tonight. We are lucky, they didn't say critical, but it can worsen overnight. God please hear my calling that my little brother will be okay.
I feel like a failure. I know accidents happen. It shouldn't have happened!
So true, we can consider every possible sinrario, and life can still throw us curve ballsAll very good news!! I also live with no margin of error for my pets, but as I’ve learned recently all living things are variables, even in a tightly controlled environment. I’m so glad JJ is pulling through!
You are correct. As diligent as we are, accidents happen even though I am having a hard time accepting this.All very good news!!

I accept the fault even though I simply don't want to!The fact that he is still here is a great sign. Prayers up for a full recovery. Accidents happen. I know how you feel.

I am who I am because of my Mom. She loves the cat, but loves us more and feels terrible for us. I am just like my Mom! She raised me right, instilled the core of who I am and the respect I have for others as well as my love for our living treasures.I understand your feelings of responsibility and guilt. If your mom is anything like you , kind and compassionate (I'm pretty sure she is) she will be forgiving and understanding ,this was an incident that was out of your control. All is well after all, JJ is thankfully ok.

I am very broken by this. The hurt I feel today isn't wearing off. I saw him, he was very loopy. I am just sad, and downright bummed. I talked to the Vet at 4. He's off oxygen, they are keeping an eye on him. If he can come home it won't be til 8 or 9 pm.I'm glad to hear he's going to be ok. You know... it's one of those things. The things that even with the most dedicated care an "event" is just going to happen. We cannot be perfect in every way all the time. I think you should be breathe a sigh of relief and have a few of those Bailey's.. though I've been known to be cheap and buy the McCormicks Irish cream... the calming effect was just the same!
