EDITED: an update on Frankie Blue Eyes

it is 5 after 11. jambaloney left in the truck with little Frankie at 7. jambaloney called after he dropped Frankie off - he said that little Frankie was quiet the whole ride in to the city. the women at the hospital said that Frankie was beautiful and definitely part Siamese. please pray with me. i haven't stopped crying since they left. Frankie is such a gorgeous creation of our Lord...and we have to maim him. and that soooo breaks my heart - i wish i could have left him intact.

i really wish that we didn't have to do this...but we have to consider our other boys. my heart is broken. little Frankie must be feeling alone. and after just having found a family. he does not know what is happening to him and he must wonder why. i can't stop crying.

they will call jambaloney at 2pm - 3 hours from now - and let him know if he can pick up Frankie. i really hope that he can pick him up and take him home so that we can start the healing process immediately.

Liz (jambaloney's Mom) - if you are reading this - thank you from the bottom of my heart. you paid for this and you will never know how much i appreciate that.

i can't stop crying...i hate doing this. i am sorry for being such a downer. but God - my heart is aching and breaking.

EDIT: thank you all so much for your comments - i will respond immediately. i just wanted to let you all know that jambaloney has little Frankie and is on his way home. apparently little Frankie did amazingly well at the hospital and is sleeping in his little carrier. i am allowed to feed him a little when he gets home (he hasn't eaten since last night at 12)! jambaloney has all kinds of tips from the ladies at the hospital on what to do when we get him home. i can't wait for them to get home.

  1. kymber......sweetheart.......it's only his balls, he'll get over it, chill, he'll lay around a few days, lick his butt, wonder what was there, and, move on. Cats are resilient that way. Oh, his pee will not smell as bad either. It will be OK. Stop stressing!!!!

    1. Sharon - cats really are resilient but i absolutely detest doing this kind of thing to any animal. if it weren't for the fact that my other cats were fixed (not by us), i would never have done this to him. jambaloney is on his way home with little Frankie...i am trying to de-stress. thank you for your comment.

    2. Just cuddle on the little guy, and he'll come back to normal in no time. It was a very wise thing to do since the other two are fixed. Frankie is a very handsome boy but that was probably why they dumped him, he was starting to spray. {{{HUGS}}} to all.

  2. Kymber,
    He is okay sweetie!!! Lil Frankie (Lil Blue Eyes)is happy he's found a loving home being with you and Jambaloney. Think about it, if you/he didn't find your home; he would be in the woods all along and could have really been hurt or something else. This is just a small procedure, he will be okay.

    Now on a lighter note my friend, I've nominated you for some well deserved awards! Congratulations!!!

    Your Friend Sandy xoxoxo

    P.S.Please give a hug to Jam and tell him I said he needs to give you a big hug from me :-)

  3. It will be ok, yes I know it's easy for me to say as you're the one upset about it, but imagine how much better his life will be now that you've taken him in.

    Give him a good rub for me. And don't worry, we won't think any less of him now that there's "less" of him :)

  4. Having males fixed so they cannot procreate is not a sad thing, whether it's a person or animal. You cannot teach a cat self-control or get him to wear a condom. (actully, that is hard to teach some men) You chose a higher path. He will live longer, stay home, and be content. I suppose they could do a vasectomy if his losing his balls is the problem. But, that would be so costly. He will not take this hard at all. You will get to enjoy his company longer! I am sorry you are taking this so hard. I know, emotion not logic rules right now. hugs

    1. it is true PP that he will live longer and stay closer to home. you are so correct about emotions ruling the logic out. i understand the logic i just feel so terrible for doing this. thank you for the hugs - i really appreciate that!

  5. It's much more horrible to fix a female, such is mother nature. (she's a bitch) I can put myself into my furchild's mind like crazy, and I dread the day I must leave him overnight at the vet's for whatever reason. He would wonder why I had abandoned him and fear I would never return. But he's been with me 24/7 for three years. Your little love will be back in your arms by nightfall.

    When my 17 year old Bichon had to have surgery, I said "I will bring my sleeping bag. The boy knows more than you - as a VET - can imagine an animal knowing"

    He shooed me out the door, BUT WAS CALLING ME RIGHT BEFORE THE SURGERY to come back to the office.

    WHY? He was under anesthesia but they couldn't get him to lay down for pacing the cage.

    When I walked in and opened his cage door, he put his head on my shoulder and fell asleep.

  6. When we had Gracie, the vet was quite elated to give her back to us. You see, Gracie was quite "talkative" as the vet described it. They were being polite, what they meant to say was that when she wasn't under anesthetic, she wouldn't shut up. When we left the building with her still meowing, I could see them sigh with relief that they could finally get some peace and quiet.

    Hope all goes well for Frankie blue eyes.

  7. Hey sis - It will all be alright - don't cry no more. Frankie will recover extremely quickly and won't hold it against you in any way. I promise !

    He will bring you tons of joy and be your loyal friend forever. You and me are two peas in a pod - and I will pray my hardest for you to feel better. Yes- I said you because Frankie needs you to be okay first. Mama needs to heal her nerves - then everything comes back together as it should be. Frankie will of course be in my thoughts too ...

    Relax hon and try to find some calm for yourself.

    I love you always and a day ! xoxoxoxox

  8. Kymber, we got both Jethro and Horatio from a long term no kill shelter, each of the cats had been there for almost 2 years. Both of course were fixed.

    Trust me, Frankie will not miss his manhood. Jethro (even though he has been fixed) still (how to delicately put this) has his way with anything soft in the house (my socks, the blanket that I'm using at the time to cover up with), Bear's stuffed toys etc etc. Trust me when I say, that Frankie will continue on as normal and probably be healthier for it and your house will smell alot nicer without the scenting.

    Beth (who is happy Jethro is in the other room right now!)

    1. Beth - thank you for telling me about Jethro and Horatio...my other 2 cats are rescues as well and both came to us fixed - it's the only reason that i felt that we needed to fix Frankie - he would soon become aggressive to the other cats and i couldn't have that. teehee - you gave me a laugh too. thank you Beth - bahahahah!

  11. thank you so much Felinae - i hope he will recover quickly. and yes, i am sure that when he gets home he will be a little out of it. but he is very strong and very young and i hope that this memory will quickly pass for him. i am sorry that Chopper and Leo are spraying everything in the neighbourhood - that's kinda funny but not really - bahahahahahha! thank you for your hugs honey!

  12. Kymber, I also sweat bullets when any of my animals, cats or dogs are neutered or spayed. I tell myself over and over again that removal of these organs make them less prone to cancers, and less prone to disorders which result from these circulating hormones over a lifetime. I tell myself they are less likely to be injured or killed after neutering, because they are not pursuing others in the same manner. Still, I sweat because they do not understand why we sent them and that we are acting in their best interests. Soon he will be home and very soon after that he will understand only that you love him, and that he is home forever, and that is the most important thing. You are doing the right thing. Spoil him when he comes home.......Jam too !

  13. Jane...i want to say so much about your complete and utter understanding but i think that i will just leave it at: thank you for understanding. thank you so much.

    Jane - they are both home - he is doing better than we could have even hoped! i am spoiling both of them right now. thank you for being such a good friend....and understanding.
