This morning Missy followed me as I changed the litter boxes. This isn’t typical. She kept jumping in and trying to go. I think she was showing me she couldn’t. So we hopped in the car to the nearest ER vet open today. Beginning of a UTI. 2 week shot antibiotic and she’s heading home. - ThreadSky

Poor baby just can't catch a break :( Give her lots of pets for me <3

jeweledskye.bsky.social•2 days ago

Missy is very smart - - so is her hoomin! ❤️‍🩹

ebattermann.bsky.social•2 days ago

What a smart cookie! Glad she was so communicative and that you could nip that problem in the bud right away!

oftencallmespeedo.bsky.social•2 days ago

Hope she’s better soon. Brave kitty.

jerseygirl4.bsky.social•2 days ago

Missy trusted you to figure it out and you did. Way to go (or not go, pee wise that is) both of you. Feel better Missy!

sammarlowe.bsky.social•2 days ago

What a smart cat! What a wonderful owner! What a great relationship! 🙌👍❤️ these are pet goals, right here

janettes-999.bsky.social•2 days ago

Poor Missy. I hope her UTI clears up soon.

My three cats send their regards and hopes for a speedy recovery.

missybbbobtail.bsky.social•2 days ago

Spent half the day running to the litter box every time she did and then finally put Ring cameras on them. 😂 please tell me I’m not the only one. 🥺

caryasta.bsky.social•2 days ago

And acting like a cheerleader everytime she did? You’re def not the only one.

missybbbobtail.bsky.social•2 days ago

Yes! We celebrate every success. She seems to be absolutely fine now.

t4booboo.bsky.social•2 days ago

Glad to hear the antibiotic worked so fast. Hopefully this too shall pass and quickly.

caryasta.bsky.social•2 days ago

Great news to read! Well done Missy!

marytylerless.bsky.social•2 days ago

Hooray 🙌

tallawk.bsky.social•2 days ago

Been there done that you're not the only one

kdubzaz.bsky.social•2 days ago

This is Oslo from a year and a half ago after he had surgery for a blockage. I still keep an eye on him when I hear him in the box and applaud while he covers his business. You are not alone in keeping an eye out.

olddek.bsky.social•2 days ago

Poor lad !

jeanchimera.bsky.social•2 days ago

(I wonder if she'll come get you when she finally goes? She is such a smart girl to show you that she couldn't go and something was wrong, it wouldn't surprise me!)

billie-e.bsky.social•2 days ago

You’re not the only one😉. So glad you caught it quickly. That’s key! 👍

moarchampers.bsky.social•2 days ago

Our litter boxes are in the laundry room right off the kitchen. I hear (and smell) everything. I had to buy Iams dry food a few months ago, and Mandy's crying told me it hurt to poop. Anyone want a couple of pounds of Iam's indoor cat food? It's been sealed with my food saver.

janicessmith.bsky.social•2 days ago

You're not the only one.

missybbbobtail.bsky.social•2 days ago

We called ahead and they told us to give her her sub cutaneous fluids first so by the time she got there she was already feeling better. Nearest ER that was open was 45 minutes away. Worth it.

ebattermann.bsky.social•2 days ago

I'm so grateful for you sharing your journey with little Missy. I've learned some things from you, & seeing pictures of her always brightens my day. Go team Missy!

missybbbobtail.bsky.social•2 days ago

mrssquest.bsky.social•2 days ago

Glad she was able to show you she was not feeling well.

She is obviously very tuned into you - and I think dogs can be just as smart too when they need help.

frogprof.bsky.social•2 days ago

I am absolutely in awe. You have such good instincts and understand Missy so well. And you know how to give her fluids. 😲🥰🙏🏻🕯️

edington87.bsky.social•2 days ago

oh that is some good news 🥰😻

missybbbobtail.bsky.social•2 days ago

I’m so grateful Missy was very insistent this morning. 💚

beagleginger.bsky.social•2 days ago

She's a good communicator 😎

mcconren.bsky.social•2 days ago

My first cat had UCI every now ans then. She showed me by peeing a few red drops in the shower. They are so smart in telling you when they need help. 💚

shawnfeb24.bsky.social•2 days ago

Very important post. Get better soon little girl.🫶

all-the-cats.bsky.social•2 days ago

Omg poor baby. Can like the cat gods leave her alone? 😔

Cats can have cranberries in small amounts. Beneficial and support UTI’s. Craisins.

rnrdiva.bsky.social•2 days ago

Yes. They don't always tell you what's wrong. 🙏💚 Missy

jennieother1.bsky.social•2 days ago

Poor girl 🥺 Glad you caught or quickly.

cancangirl.bsky.social•2 days ago

These episodes are really helpful for when we encounter same and know what to do.

missybbbobtail.bsky.social•2 days ago

Animals usually tell us things. We need to be open to listening. 💚

mrnthylcns193624vr.bsky.social•2 days ago

Very smart cat, letting you know something was wrong.

kat31m.bsky.social•2 days ago

Missy is so lucky to be your furkid! 😻

govitasadventures.bsky.social•2 days ago

Thankfully, you paid attention to the behavior change and took her to ER. Paws up to you. ❤️🐾

katznjazz.bsky.social•2 days ago

And there are people who cats can't speak. I'm glad she helped you catch it early. 😻

fiona1012.bsky.social•2 days ago

Clever Missy. Hope she's on the mend.

violainea.bsky.social•2 days ago

✅ Well done! It can be difficult to understand what our non-human family members are saying but they do communicate with us and, as their humans, we have a duty to listen.

a2mteach.bsky.social•2 days ago

mamav37.bsky.social•2 days ago

As a vet tech I can vouch for the Convenia shot! Best way to treat pesky infections so your fur babies don’t run every time they see you! 🤣

didimac.bsky.social•1 day ago

She is a smart girl, can’t be too quick to treat a UTI

badkitty63.bsky.social•2 days ago

robertamary.bsky.social•2 days ago

dreadpiratechooch.bsky.social•1 day ago

We just had that and I am so glad you got the shot right away. We lamely tried oral liquid antibiotics - our Kittle said no way I am letting that go through! Hope she will be fine

sweetcharms81.bsky.social•2 days ago

Oh no Missy! Hoping she'll get better soon!!! She's such a smart kitty, showing you there wasn't feeling better!

I’m so glad you trusted your gut/instinct that something was wrong. Hope she feels better soon. Love that 2 week antibiotic shot, it’s a game changer!

shohanabee76.bsky.social•2 days ago

Poor Babygirl! You caught it early, by so, heading off further consequences. Went through that recently & needed probiotics afterwards. ❤️❤️❤️

linda0989.bsky.social•2 days ago

Good job Missy! You are so smart. Why suffer when you know Mama can fix it! 👍 Hope you feel better soon 😘

She’s such a clever girl. Fancy working out a way to tell you she needed help. Her trust in you is enormous.

Feel better soon, Missy.

jd-14.bsky.social•2 days ago

When my cat couldn't pee, I called the vet and they said to bring my male cat in immediately, as he could be dead within hrs. Turned out to be crystals in the urine blocking the uretha More owners of male cats need to be aware of the signs of this.

trulydisaffected.bsky.social•2 days ago

steveokino.bsky.social•2 days ago

She is a very smart cat and you are a very perceptive and caring human. Speedy healing for Missy, and "thanks, science" for developing a single antibiotic injection good for two weeks, rather than 14 doses of a bitter liquid.

missybbbobtail.bsky.social•2 days ago

Right? So much easier for her and she’s happily at home snoozing right now. 💚

betsyestelle.bsky.social•2 days ago

My kitty Kali has now been on cyclophosphamide chemo for 3 years to treat small cell lymphoma. Last year started to have UTIs and it seems now something she is prone to. The meds have thickened the lining of her bladder and she is immunocompromised. So now she gets cranberry drops every 2 days.

Happy to hear Missy has headed home. She's a smart little baby letting momma know something wasn't right, and momma knew right away her baby was trying to tell her she needed her help.
It's always great news to know Missy is doing fine. It gives many of us a sigh of relief!! 💙

leeannamiche11e.bsky.social•2 days ago

Wow! You're both so clever! Trying to decipher what my boys are telling me (besides feed me again) is so hard and I feel like I'm terrible at it. Sometimes I wonder if I just interpret everything as "more food!"

💪🏾 to Missy. ❤️

lethargiclass.bsky.social•2 days ago

Is this going to delay chemo again?

missybbbobtail.bsky.social•2 days ago

Shouldn’t. But her kidney is the most important thing. She can live with lymphoma even happily for quite some time. She can’t live without her remaining kidney. Her happiness is my number one concern though and right now she’s happy. Xoxox

lethargiclass.bsky.social•2 days ago
