thegunnerd Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 Keep fighting Grumpy !! I'm a cat person ( although i love dogs too of course ) and just lost one of my fur kids not long ago to a very swift ailment as well. I'm given solace by the fact that i did everything humanly possible to save her. The right cat can change any hardened dog owner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob DuBois Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 It's tough, thought I was going to put my oldest Pug down Saturday. He will be 17 the first of July and is the best dog I've had, all he as tried to do his whole life was please us. In his youth lot's of tricks. No messes ad hasn't torn anything but toys up. He was better Saturday evening and I'm hoping he will make it to July. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrumpyOne Posted March 11, 2014 Author Share Posted March 11, 2014 (edited) This is the 3rd one we've lost to this parasite...All 3 have been rescue cats, from parking lots or the like...and all 3, I've been out of town when they passed. This really sucks. Edited March 11, 2014 by GrumpyOne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrumpyOne Posted March 12, 2014 Author Share Posted March 12, 2014 Now I'm pissed. The only way they can get the parasite is from one species of tick, which has fed on a wildcat (Florida bobcat essentially...I seriously doubt panthers are near me). So, I'm investing in traps and other things. I'm gonna try and trap these guys and relocate them away from the house. Anybody trap bobcats for a living that can give me some pointers? I've trapped raccoon, possum, hogs, and turkeys before...not bobcats...must use live traps...I have no wish to kill them, just move them far, far away.

Neomet Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Dang it. There are just too many things in the world willing to snatch those we love away. I'm sorry man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAFuchs Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 I'VE had many cats, remember then all. Every one different. Have three now and the wife's westie. Angus (the dog) and Ozzie the tuxedo cat are best buds. My 14 year old female Amber I've had longer than my wife. Dread the day it's Ambers calling. Life has been better with the fury creatures than without. Sorry you were not home. That sucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
