Daddy's Little Girl - Fourth Edition

Last weekend, instead of getting some much needed rest, my cat fell ill and made me run to the vet twice with him, and all kinds of medication and force-feeding to literally keep him alive and huge amount of worrying.

Yesterday I was already a total wreck. Had to cancel our movie afternoon - I literally struggled to even take care of myself anymore.

So He came. Calmed me down. Helped me feed the cat. Kept me in his lap for a long while, until I finally found myself able to eat. And finally, before leaving, tucked me in.

Today, the cat finally eats voluntarily, and I've been just resting.
 
I'm glad your kitty is feeling better and eating, and even more glad He was able to be there to calm you and get you off to sleep. A good rest does wonders! 🪻
Even more - I was frozen, keeping off a breakdown when he came, and then he took care of it.

Before him I haven't had a partner able to handle me like that.
 
I hope your cat ends up eating properly again. My doggie the other day was a tad bit sleepy and wasn't eating, but today she's eating. I hope you get to see your Dom. Sending hugs!
Found something he eats at least some, but appetite really not nornal, and the poor kitty is already underweight. Going to vet for the 3rd time in a week in an hour.

My Dom came last night to take care of me and tuck me in.
 
I got a likely diagnosis, and an alternative one. The more likely one cannot be cured... I don't even think I'll go for treatment as its would be not just costly but tough for both the cat and me. We'll just make him feel ok as long as it works.

I seem to manage sorrow much better than fear. Crying is easier than freezing in anxiety.

Going to see Dom tonight...
 
Weird. Fear and anxiety make me feel very little. Sorrow in turn doesn't, it keeps me much more adult.

I am so sorry about your cat. Whatever happens next he is obviously loved and I know you'll do whatever is best for him.

Sorry to hear that. Pets become family and it's hard to see them suffering. Sending you many bunny hugs.
Thanks. He's indeed a family member. My sweet little boy.

And I won't let him suffer.

I'm sorry to hear the news about your sweet kitty boy. You are a wise and caring guardian to consider what is best for your kitty and yourself and weigh that against the possibility of more time together. Quality of time is more important than quantity of time. Sending you hugs and supportive energy.

I understand this completely. Knowing, even when it's something sad, is better for me than the anxiety of not knowing. When I know, I can make a plan and take action. Not knowing makes me very anxious and more in need of comfort and guidance.

Indeed. Already with my late husband I wondered afterwards if the tough treatments were worth the maybe 6 months more they gave...

Me it froze totally at times. To the point of not eating, not medicating, anything. I don't know what I would have done with my Dom!

Last night he came on a rush call. I felt bad as he's a bit under the weather. And all he said was a solemn "there's always a place for you in my arms/lap" (same word in Finnish).

Some daddy there!
