My poor kitty cat Minx, she has a really nasty cold it could be even pneumonia they are keeping her over the weekend trying to loosen up the congestion in her lungs; Poor honey! She is right around 10 years+ right now and since I had to move she's been staying out at the Farm with my other pets the two dogs and my other calico Scodie; But she just is a mess my remedies and such was not working at all; So if you would please send some love & healing energy to my kitty cat Minx, she could use it!!

Poor Minx! At 10 you have to worry about her age and I'm glad the vet is acting so proactively.

I hope she can. I have 5 cats that are over 10, 3 11 yr olds, 1 15 and a 17 year old. I hope Minx will be all right.

Hi {{Elic}} Wow! Well I've got friends with cats that are in their 20's so I guess we never really know how long they will live which is great for me; I hope all of my cats are with me for a long long time;

I've never had one live that old, but we can hope. Most of mine die around 11-12

Healing purrs coming for your sweet Minx from my four kitties. It's so hard when one of our sweet feline companions gets sick. I know exactly how you feel. I hope the antibiotics kick in quickly and she's back to her frolicking self. I hope you can bring her inside during the winter. It's probably better for her. My old lady Patches lived until she was 20, a very long time for a cat. She will always be missed; she raised my children.

Oh poor Minx, Sorry to hear that she is sick. I really do hope that she gets to feeling better over the weekend. It is really hard when kids and animals are sick and can't talk to tell us what all is wrong. I do send well wishes to her.

HI {{Tyc}} yeah I am a huge worry wart too when something is wrong with my animals I really stress out, the poor honey she opens her mouth to "meow" and no sound comes out! Bless her heart! She really hates going to the Doctor and I know that's why she has hidden the last couple of days darn her! When she does not greet me at the farm I know something is up with her, she waits for me to come of a morning, is it me she loves or the food I give her?? LOL! Nah ! I like to think its me she loves..."after she eats" thank you for the well wishes, I hope they all work for her!

Oh, the poor dear! I hope she gets better very soon. I know it's sooooo uncomfortable to be sooooo stuffed up like that. My cat, Mija (mee-hah) only had the sniffles once and that was when I brought her home from The Humane Society 5 years ago. I was told that was normal for anybody (even animals) who live in such close proximity to each other. Mija will be 5 years old December 9th and I hold a birthday party for her every year. You better believe she makes out like a bandit with all the gifts my friends bring! LOL! Tell your sweetie pie that I hope she gets well very soon! Purrs, Catwoman=^..^= & Mija

HI Kellyjeanne: Oh I love the name of your cat, sounds really pretty; It was a wild and rough evening/night there for awhile I'll be posting about it sometime later today but not right now; Minx is a great cat but she just hates to be kept in a room with the door shut, she loses her tiny mind...so if you have time later check back in, my post will be long winded I'll have lots to tell everyone about her first night home here; I think I'll be needing that nap today too!! LOL! How wonderful that you throw your kitty a birthday party I always thought about doing that too but , my darlins do get special treats and extra lovings then!! they all are spoiled rotten!!

Awww--I'm sorry to hear about Minx. Antibiotics should help her. But of course I'll send some healing energies to her and keep us updated how she's doing, okay?

Awwwww - poor lady cat!!! I hope she's all right. I'll send what energies I can. Be sure to give her a pet for me! Looks like someone's energies have helped my Chloe cat, though. It's not quite like night and day yet, but I'm seeing light on the horizon with her. She actually used the litter box today!!! Man! I did NOT want to have to get rid of her. I just didn't. I love that cat!

Hey GF!! Thank you I appreciate that, I'm hoping/praying she gets better its kinda like with us too the older we get the harder any sickness or illness is on our bodies; I'm glad to hear that Chloe is doing better and using her litter box now, I'm trying to convince her of that (G)! I do much better at helping others out than with my own aniamls what's up with that? Tis a true fact though its always been that way; {{CHLOE}} smarten up now and keep using the litter box, and stop making those unnecessary messes for your Momma! She's got enough streeesssss!!!

HI Opal honey: Your message just made me smile so much, thank you ! And do give your furbabies a big old hug from their Aunt Jan Jan, that's what my nieces called me when they were little they could not say my name "Janice" the ding dongs so its stuck for life...Aunt Jan Jan LOL! So Aunt Jan Jan is sending some "love back" to Opal, Star & Luna too! I just love those names!! I really do need to sit down and write up some of the stories that have taken place with my many animals over the years and the stuff they have done on the farm; Some good ones, some bad ones; I do have two chapters about some horses that were on the farm on another website a writing website if you are interested in reading them, I don't have the last one written yet , the holidays and all the cleaning & baking and "crap" snuck up on me but I do have a final chapter to write on the horses it will be a long one too; I Miss the "girls" so much; thanks again and do give your babies a big old hug & kisses from Aunt Jan Jan (G)!
