Mommy got a call from the vet a few hours ago. My sister, Isis, isn’t coming home. Isis passed away today and already the house is so very empty and sad without her.

The doctors had said Isis was looking better last night, and that what caused her illness was not heart-related and likely a kidney problem, but they couldn’t be sure because they had to do a test after she was off the IV stuff.

I don’t gets it. Isis had improved and Mommy and I were going to go see her and wish her a speedy a recovery and now my sister’s gone and she’s not coming back. I want Isis to come back.

I, I’ll be back laters. Right now my Mommy needs me and isn’t handling things too well. Thank you to all our furriends who sent their love and purrs for us during this time.

Isis isn’t doing so good. She took a turn for the worse while Mommy was waiting for the vet’s to open. Mommy had Grandma drive so that she could hold Isis in a towel and not put her in the carrier. They tooks Isis right away when she got to the vet.

Right now they don’t know what’s wrong. They’re running tests so Mommy has to wait for them to call her. What they did tell her wasn’t too good.

There is liquid in Isis’ lungs which was why she was having trouble breathing. She’s what the humans call dehydrated too so they have her on IV fluids and she’s in an oxygen tank to help with her breathing. They’re taking x-rays and doing other test-stuff and hope to have somethings to tell us soon.

My big sister is a lot older then me, she turns 15 human years this year in fact. The vet warns that right now it could be a lot of things, like heart problems, kidney failure, or something. I don’t think it is, I mean, it can’t be, right? Isis has always been pretty healthy and tough. So she’s gonna be okay right?

Mommy is really worried. Not only is Isis sick-sick and in need of help, but Mommy is worried over the bill. She put some down but doesn’t know how she’ll pay the rest of it as she’d just finished paying bills so what bit she has is gone. Lot’s of worries for Mommy and me right now.

I’ll keep everyone updated as more news comes available. Thank you so much to all our furriends out there who are purring and praying for Isis. Your thoughts and wishes means a lots to us right now.

UPDATE!: Isis has been taken to the vet and we’ve gottens an update on her.

I has to apologize for us not blogging in a while. Mom’s been busy with a side-job that has really eaten up her spare time. And since she works off her laptop, well, when she’s gone it’s gone and then we’re without a computer. But Mom’s been negligent with her blog too so we’re not the only bad ones!

Today isn’t looking too good for my big sister. She was okays yesterday in the day, even gots to go outside and lounge on the outdoor furniture, eat grass, and nap in the sun. Everything was fine!!! Then in the middle of the night she woke me and Mom up and started throwing up all over the place. First she threw ups food she ate then it was just gooey stuff Mom calls “bile”. Then she went to lay in her bed and just stayed there unmoving. Wouldn’t eat or drink, won’t move unless you touch her, and then it’s only a little move of her head. And if you try to touch her too much she kinda whine-growls at ya.

Now, Mom got really kinda worried and wants to take her to see Dr. Callista even though Mom really doesn’t have the money for it – but Isis is hiding. Mom thinks she’s under the couch or in the closet but hasn’t found her yet. Since Isis is now hiding we know she is really, really sick because when it’s just a kitty-cold or upset tummy Isis loves attention. But if she hides away, well then she has to be very sick. So Mom is kinda scared but trying not to be. She’s gonna give Isis another hour to come out on her own (’cause the vet isn’t open yet anyway) then she says she’ll have to haul her out. Mom is very worried because Isis is getting pretty old so every time she’s sick Mom is twice as worried as she normally would be. Not fun.

Hopefully Isis will come out on her and all will be okay, or Dr. Calista will just give her a shot or something and she’ll get all betters.

Mommy is a little….miffed right now.

You see, she had a bunch of coupons to make grocery shopping easier, but she’s run into a bit of a problem. It seems like a lot of stores aren’t accepting or honoring coupons, even if they come from the merchant. Mommy had coupons chips, drinks, breakfast meat stuff, cereal, and a lot of other stuff. They’re all legitimate, even have barcodes so the cashier can run them over their barcode scanner, and come from signing up from online members clubs and stuff. Well, for some reason a lot stores aren’t taking them. Albertson’s grocery store will take some, but mostly just coupons they issue from their ads and stuff.

Wal-Mart seems to be the only place Mommy can get to accept coupons anymore.

Thankfully, the ones she had for canned cat food and some dry cat food were accepted. They’re from Special Kitty and Purina, and the Purina ones aren’t being accepted at Petco, Albertson’s, K-Mart, or Target around here either.

Poor Mommy, she tries to save some money and her efforts are being hampered. Some other humans on Twitter have mentioned having the same problems as well. Are any of your humans running into this?
