Doing the Mollie stomp

love it.

Amy is lovely and there seem to be more and more torties around which is great.

So they don't feel left out, pics below of Molly (taken in June this year) & Amy (taken 3 days ago).

Also picture from a few years ago of Molly & myself, she's doing the Molly stomp - feels like you've had a round with Mike Tyson after she's finished - she is quite liberal with her claws when she does this....raw tummy!

Thanks, great to hear from you guys - hope all is ok with everyone?

You guys were a massive support for Fizz & us through the difficult times, I really appreciate all that you did for us, with the hugs, help & comments about his uveitis, anaemia etc. Thank you all so much - it would have been a much harder journey without this site & everyone's knowledge.

Will try & not be a stranger in the future, but, given the anniversary and posting on here did bring everything back with a bang.

Also, having had my op, it's been a rollercoaster of emotions over the last 11wks, so in a bit of a sensitive place.

On & up - not forgetting those at the bridge, but as you said Tiggy's Mum, Fizz wouldn't like me being upset over him. The happy times are the most important, and he had almost 8 great years with us, which he wouldn't have had if he'd stayed on the farm. Such a survivor.

Alfie is gorgeous and I am sure Fizz is keeping watch over you

Turbogirlie · « **Reply #124 on:** September 05, 2011, 17:23:13 PM »

He's the biggest wuss I've met thus far! But he only picks on Fil & myself with his little outbursts, apparently he did this with the other guy, Shaun, who was feeding him, but then again, they bathed him, maybe he voted with his paws as I cannot see him liking that one bit! He's a big old softy.

Thanks for that Tiggy's Mum.

Picture of Alfie to show you what a beautiful big boy he's become. Everyone who meets him for the first time falls in love with him. This is his softer side!

Tiggy's Mum · « **Reply #119 on:** September 05, 2011, 12:44:29 PM »

Such a special boy

Glad to hear the others are ticking over OK, that's a fab weight gain for Molly so the meds must be doing the trick

I'm sure Fizz wouldn't want you feeling sad

Remember Our Love

I was chosen that day
I'm learning to fly
the world took me away,
but please don't you cry

And I chose you today
to try and be strong
so please don't you cry
and don't say that I'm gone

When you're feeling alone
just remember our love,
I'm up near the stars
looking down from above.

Remember our love
In a moment you'll see
that I'm still here beside you
when you're thinking of me.

Hi,

Sorry for the absence on here, been a funny year. It was a year yesterday since we had to say our goodbyes to Fizz, still miss him & it hurts like crazy again, because I've been reminded of his passing.

The gang are all still good, adjusted to life without the little man. Alfie's good, we found out that someone else was looking after him before he'd made his decision to move in here. They don't drive round to our side of the estate (it's a big circle) and thought he'd been lost to the main road. Shaun (the guy feeding Alfie) was overjoyed to hear that he's in fine health & has a home now. He was reluctant (refused) to let us groom him, & he refused to groom his back for a time, so had to go & have a mohican at the vets to get rid of the mat. Weird, a short hair cat getting mats but not uncommon I guess.

Amy is ok, she's still doing her thing.

Molly was diagnosed in late Jan with Hyperthyroidism. We are giving her Vidalta daily & it seems to be doing the trick, she was losing weight but eating lots. Her weight in Feb was 2.9kgs, at her review last week, she was 4.15kgs. Paul, bless, still the same vet, is happy with her, she did have an issue with gums bleeding a few weeks ago, but Paul is happy with her teeth, she's gotta be 15yrs old. With the blood tests they did to diagnose the thyroid (gland enlarged as well) there was no sign of FIV, given the history, Paul would have checked.

I've had a new disc fitted in my neck 11wks ago & have been off work since the op. Recovery going ok, going back to work, part time, initially, next week.

Sorry for being a stranger, but you can understand we've had a few things going on.

Thanks again for all of your help & support with Fizz, he was a real character. I know he'd hate me being upset over him.

Pics below, of Fizz in happier times, how I want to remember monkey tail.

Sorry, feeling a little low today, but the op has been a real roller coaster of emotions as well.

Hi,

It's been almost 3 months since Fizz went to the bridge. It's strange, him not being here anymore. We all miss him so very much. Alfie especially misses his friend, Molly will play a little with Alfie, but not the chase games that Fizz used to do.

Thank you all for all of your support & help over the 3+ yrs that I posted on this site. You all have been such a big help and support.

It was the right thing to do for Fizz, but for a little cat, he's left a big hole in our home & hearts. He was such a pleasure to live with.

We are hopeful that Molly & Amy haven't contracted FIV from Fizz. Molly has just gotten over an eye infection without need to visit the vet, so her immume system seems to be fully functional.

Fizz was a very good friend & we consider ourselves lucky to have shared life with him.

Very big

to you all.

Thanks Sylvia - your thoughts are appreciated.

Fizz will be well pleased to make new friends on the Bridge

He is missed by us all greatly. Alfie & Molly are doing their best to help fill the space left bless.

Sylvia · « **Reply #111 on:** September 16, 2010, 23:29:58 PM »

I have only just got back from holiday, and am so very sorry to hear about Fizz

He was such a beautiful boy and must have known he was loved to the end

I hope Fizz will make friends with my Tatty on the Bridge

Take care, I will be thinking of you

Turbogirlie · « **Reply #110 on:** September 06, 2010, 21:36:20 PM »

I'm sure Fizz & Max will be breaking some hearts on the Bridge.......

I'll bet Fizz and Max will be breaking some hearts up on the Bridge together

Thanks Schmew - Fizz says of course Biscuit is welcome anytime - he loves to make new friends.

Thanks everyone for your kind thoughts - he's happy now.

I'd also like to thank everyone for their support and guidance over the years as well - this site certainly helped us to get through some difficult times with Fizzy.

Tiggy's Mum · « **Reply #106 on:** September 05, 2010, 14:34:39 PM »

RIP Fizz, safe and sound at the Bridge by now, waiting until your Mum & Dad are ready to collect you xx

I am so sorry you didn't get more time with him, but he was lucky to have such wonderful parents. RIP little one

Turbogirlie · « **Reply #100 on:** September 04, 2010, 16:57:03 PM »

Thanks.

We called Paul to come over to put him to sleep today.

Apparently, Paul said that he could feel changes in the tumours from just Tuesday, so sounds like it was aggressive. He'd had enough, we couldn't see him suffer which he would have if left any longer.

Minimal stress, he's now off to find Kitty & Mitzi & terrorise them once more.

Still can't upload the photo.

clarenmax · « **Reply #99 on:** September 04, 2010, 16:48:21 PM »

Hiya hunnie, sorry I've not been on Purrs much and only just seen this

Whether he has days, weeks, however long he has, he cannot be loved more than he is right now

We do the best we can for them, and so long as he's happy and enjoying some late summer sunshine, then I'm sure he's one happy little man xxx

Turbogirlie · « **Reply #98 on:** September 03, 2010, 00:51:41 AM »

Thanks everyone for your kind thoughts.

Sorry for the previous post, I was feeling a bit raw when posting. I appreciate all of your thoughts and comments.

Fizz, I think, only has a few days or weeks at most. But he's enjoying the late summer sun & warmth, as we all are.

We are at home this week and next, he is being spoilt rotten & pampered, trying to make him as comfy as possible.

I keep trying to post a picture taken this week but there seems to be a problem so I'll try again over the weekend.

once more, he's not in pain at the moment, being a brave boy, bless.

Janeyk · « **Reply #97 on:** September 02, 2010, 18:53:34 PM »

I too hope you don't mind if I just send some hugs

Tiggy's Mum · « **Reply #96 on:** September 02, 2010, 17:51:11 PM »

I know you said not to reply and I'm sorry for not following your wishes but really wanted to let you know how sorry I am to hear about Fizz

He's a special boy and you have looked after him so well

You know that you have our support over the coming weeks and months if you need us

Turbogirlie · « **Reply #95 on:** August 31, 2010, 19:17:55 PM »

Hi,

Fizz's RBC is 22 which isn't too bad. Sadly he's developing tumours in his bowel/intestine which the vet thinks are spreading. He could operate, but Fizz is becoming thin & weak. The good news is that he's not in pain, he's just quiet & sleeping alot. So we have to decide whether to continue to nurse him on 2 steriods per day until he can't tolerate eating (apparently his intestines will become blocked & he will not be able to digest his food), operate at risk to give him potentially a few more months, or to send him to the rainbow bridge. The steriods seem to be picking him up a bit.

We will do what's best for him, we are thinking all this over & will post at somepoint, when I feel upto it.

Please don't reply - it's just to keep you all updated. Feeling raw at the mo. We are on holiday at home for the next couple of weeks so will get to spend some time with him.

Thanks for all of your kind thoughts& wishes over the years.

Glad they are all doing well
Can we have another pic of the ginger monster?

- Alfie certainly is a ginger monster now! Picture taken in April this year. He is getting a little overweight but with Fizz having the FIV & needing to eat whilst we are at work, there is a constant supply of crunchies for them all. Fizz will only eat in the kitchen, so what can be done?

Fizz doesn't seem to have suffered too much for losing the tooth - you'd never know he'd lost it, other than the occasional lopsided grin, bless!
