Oh no...I'm so, so sorry to hear your devastating news. I wonder if she might have had a quick growing spinal cord tumor. Regardless, losing a best friend leaves a huge unfillable hole in our hearts. Sending you peace, comfort and healing as you learn how to live without her.

Yikes, I've had some pretty serious bites from Timber as well, but none that did permanent damage. Some have taken a few weeks to heal completely, but they did heal. I pray yours does also.

Oof sorry to hear that. It's tough to know what goes through their heads sometimes.

Yeah, he wrecked something in my finger. I went to the doctor. Her response was basically, "Welp." She was also overcome by cuteness when I described Timmy and the things he does.

If you have prolonged numbness in your finger, he could have inadvertently hit a nerve. You might want to have it looked at.

I agree with all of you, even you, Steven Stills! My stepdad said, and I agree, Timmy means no harm. He's sweet, and he loves me, but he still has the wild in him. Dogs can be trained, and are expected to be trained to be tame and docile. They've been domesticated for a long, long time. I mean, look at a corgi. That's not a wild animal. Cats have been domesticated for much less time, in the big picture. And birds - birds are hardly domesticated at all. I mean, our birds wouldn't be able to handle the wild, but they're still wild animals!

It started with a numb paw and some Prednisone 6 weeks ago and ended in full bodily paralysis on 9/30. I took to vet, no solutions -- euthanasia. Vet had no idea what may have caused this -- first left paw was numb (indoor cat) no injury detected -- vet decided issue was further up arm and prescribed Preds to any reduce possible upper arm swelling. Zuri seemed better, even making sofa jumps in spite of numb left paw; but then Monday 9/30 woke up to cat unable to move or walk total paralysis: euthanasia at vets. I am still not over it. I miss her more than I ever imagined. Cannot sleep at night without her cuddled up near me. She was only *12* years old. I get eventually kidney failure at 15 or 16 -- but this threw me in a complete depression. CAG cannot comfort me enough -- I slept with this cat every night for 12 years. Dreary post, sorry. I just don't understand happened. Anyway, it's why I haven't been active on forum. Just sad and grieving.

I am so sorry for your loss....I know how it feels,when they are taken away so young. I lost my dear indoor cat to kidney disease at just 7 years old almost a year ago...too young..I just still don’t understand and miss him so much. My heart is sad for you...😔❤️

But i still can't feel my finger...
