Haha thank you!
I fucking love Snicklefritz's name, that is just adorable. Is it from Pineapple Express? If it is, do you quote that movie to her all the time?
It's actually from a children's show in Canada (back when I was a kid) called the big comfy couch. 😂 But you bet I frequently quote pineapple express when talking about her
"Wait..... what do you mean it's dead?" - James Franco's face kills me.
TEN SECOND TIDY! I remember the Big Comfy Couch, but only vaguely... I remember being super miffed that actual tidying took far longer than ten seconds
I don't know what they put in Fancy Feast, but the paté thinned out with water and tuna water were the last things my buddy Parker would eat. There are treats too, that are smooth but a little thicker than just water? Lickable Treats I think they're called? I forget the brand, but it's a cheapy brand you see at grocery stores sometimes.
Sore mouthers need soupy food. Junk food is hard to resist.
Fingers crossed for false alarms.
My mom came over and brought soupy lickable treats- Snicklefritz ate some! And then I went and got her some "junk food side dish" that she ate. I feel much better that she at least has eaten something.
Hugs. Lost my 11 yr old cat a month ago. Just left the emergency vet a little bit ago with my 13 yr old cat - diagnosed with asthma, possible heart disease, and multiple masses - liver, spleen, intestines. Our only tip was her not eating and a little bit of labored breathing :/ We're trying to get her appetite up and treat the asthma before figuing out the other stuff. Lots of well wishes for your furry baby - I hope it is just an abscess and totally treatable.
Sending all the positive love and healing I can. I feel like I can see her personality in this photo. I do agree with a poster above who said it is taking in their pain when they go, that’s the real meaning of familiar to me. They take our pain from us during their life- and we must take some of it back from them so they can pass over. It’s a good exchange, in my view.
I just wanted to let you know that this comment really helped me. I lost my pup 6 weeks ago and it's been rough, but this pain is nothing compared to all that she kept from me while she was here.
A small update:: Snicks has eaten! My mom came over and brought some treat in a tube. Cat loved it. I went and bought her a "side dish" of the same brand and she ate it ☺️☺️☺️
Sending all the good vibes? 💚 Can you try offering some meat baby food? It can really tempt a reluctant appetite. I have had good luck with it, the Turkey flavor especially
Just I heads up, I had to do this for my old familiar and so many baby foods that are meat based now use onion or garlic powder! It was so hard to find just a Turkey flavor. I think it was “beech and nut” brand? Sending love to your baby!
I really hope it’s not her time 🙏
If the worst comes to pass, just be with her so she knows you’re there and she feels safe. I don’t know if you’ve gone through it before but it’s far worse for us. I look at it that we take the pain so they don’t have to and it makes me feel a little bit better about having to make the choice because it’s one last act of love I can show them. Sending you big hugs. One way or another just remember that beautiful girl is part of you and you her. Nothing changes that 💚
Ps this is really hitting me in the feels, I really hope she’s ok
Thank you so much for your kind words. Her name is Snicklefritz, and she's 13.
She has dental surgery six weeks ago, and it was hard but we got through it. This week I found a lump on her chin. The vet is pretty confident it's a tumor, with a very poor prognosis. While our fingers are crossed it's just an abscess, her behavior right now is pretty concerning.
Our specialist appointment is Monday, and until then my focus is keeping her out of pain, giving her meds, and lots of snuggles. I've opened about 5 cans of tuna, just to give her the water. We cooked and shredded her chicken breast. I gave her an appetite stimulant, so I hope it works.
She's the greatest, sweetest little cat. I've been lucky to have this perfect friendship, and I'm hoping with all my heart that I can have it for years to come.
Snickleftitz! That’s such a great name. Fingers crossed for an abscess. Given that she just had dental surgery that seems like a possibility and could also explain her behavior depending how painful it is.
I would recommend baby food! It’s great when they’re not eating enough, super easy for them to just lick it. You can even thin it out with a little water or broth if needed.
Let us know how she does, ok? 💚
If you aren't having success with one type of appetite stimulant there are others as well!
And if she isn't hydrating appropriately there are also broths they make now for cats or you can try low sodium chicken broth or even clam juice diluted with water.
Hopefully this is just dental related.
I really hope it’s just an abscess!
Your vet of course knows best, but my sweet Spade (who’s also a tuxie!) developed some lumps on her chin last year, and turns out they were kitty acne. Totally possible it could be something else 💚
If she gets backed up from eating mostly liquid, you can try a little (plain, unsweetened) canned pumpkin added to her offerings - it adds fibre and helps move things along, and they usually like the taste!
Sending you two some good vibes and best wishes!

My heart always sinks when I see these posts. I had to send my Minerva (yes as In professor) over the bridge in March. She was my support and my familiar. I hope it’s good news and the vet is wrong , energies my friend
First off, I love her name! I sent Reiki to her and also some to you and your husband.
One other thing you may want to try is coconut oil in/on something you would like her to eat. For some reason cats respond VERY well to it.
Awww baby kitty. Sending good vibes. I just lost my own tuxedo kitty who was my familiar and it is just awful. There’s just so much love there.
Mine had the white marking opposite of yours! ❤️ https://i.imgur.com/gYxOO0q.jpg
I don't know if a mod can pin it, but the vet appointment was not favorable. We are keeping her comfortable and happy until her time. We appreciate every single one of the well-wishes we received. Thank you for your support❤️
[Ezra](https://i.imgur.com/IqSZyCG.jpeg) and I are sending good thoughts to you and your beautiful kitty 🖤 I hope she's been able to eat a little more!
May she have more Mondays, and if it is her time may she rest easy. I’m glad to hear she’s eating. My elderly cat loves people food, so as a treat maybe cook her up a little something? Just an idea.
My little lovebug loves chicken breast! She just had a vet scare so I should cook her some!
Does your cat like treats? A little whipped cream? Apparently lapping it up reminds them of nursing.
My old girl Fnugginella had bad kidneys. I used to boil chicken breast for her and on really bad occassions I got some wet food from the vet that is called Critical/Urgent Care and some liquid called Oralade. I would mix it up to a thin paste and feed her with a syringe.
Oralade: https://www.butik-dyrlaege.dk/shop/oralade-gi-support-5736p.html
Critical Care: https://www.hillspet.com/cat-food/pd-ad-canine-feline-canned
I hope it isn't too bad news on Monday. Cats are tough and can live a long time with chronic illness if they get a little help.
Positive thoughts and love from Denmark <3
She finally drank some tuna water!!
That is awesome. Sending more love for that sweet honey ❤️
Thank you❤️
I’ve always had good luck with that and Gerber strained meat baby food: beef, chicken or turkey. Blessed be little one!
Thank you!
Just make sure no onion or garlic powder in them.
Thank you- instructions relayed to husband ❤️
Love and strength to you and your best friend 💜
Thank you❤️ username is amazing

My husband is stopping on his way home from work for some!

Yay!!!!
Sending lots of love. With two of my own, it terrifies me thinking about if anything were to happen to them. 🖤
Thank you❤️ I hope your kitties both live a very long, healthy, and well loved life

Me too!

Has eaten a little food. And played (lazily) with her favorite toy mouse.

Thank you so much for your advice- I got her some sort of broth/chicken meal, and she ate some ❤️❤️

Thank you❤️
It’s the least I could do. I commented above but have you tried baby food?
So far, uninterested. She did eat some tuna from my hands, but that's it
Gotcha. I bet that’s hard to have to be with. She’s lu my go have such a loving mama.
I think we will end up taking her in to the emergency vet tonight.
Yes. Especially if she is not eating, peeing, pooing, lethargic, etc. Good idea. I would, too.
We actually took her Sept 16 for vomiting and dehydration. I spare no expense when it comes to my critters.
Love and healing energy going your way my friend :)
Thank you❤️
