[@caitl2167]

I know, how painful it is to loose animals and I was going to post this comment. I lost my cat named Mavis, a couple of weeks or a month ago, not because she died but because my mom put her up for adoption on Instagram, I found out the day she was getting adopted I miss her so much. I’m still adjusting to the fact she isn’t here anymore. ❤️‍🩹

You're a very Special Daddy, and don't let anyone tell you differt. Your Fur Babies are just the same as your children. Take this from a 72 year old women that don't have children, except her Fur Babies. Love and Prayers for you and all your babies.

[@liamtaylor6024]

Seeing you break down over your animals further increased the amount of respect I have for you. Most men won't express emotions in general, especially over animals. It shows your humanitarian side, and gives me hope that others have that kindness in them.

[@coolgamers2794]

Just lost one of my 15 year old senior Chihuahua. Saddest part was that she was so loving and caring for me even knowing that she is going to die. She would follow me every time I go scoop out the dog kennel poop making sure I was protected. I didn't put her down and had her on tons of pain killers instead so she can enjoy life to the fullest until she dies from natural causes. If you cannot bring yourself to putting down your dog then you can put them on animal painkillers as well as giving them *Hemp Supplements.* However if your dog was to have a severe vital illness that can't be saved then do put them down since painkillers won't be as effective.

[@sp00kyg1rl]

He’s a special person and we’re blessed to know him. Even if it’s via a video camera & screen, I appreciate him heaps as a fan for his endless kindness towards all animals.

[@bettyweir3075]

Yes. My dad was a farmer since he was a kid. But, I remember him feeling so bad about a cow that needed to be put down. He stopped everything else and spent his entire time with her, petting her, and telling her what a good cow she'd been for all those years. He refused to entertain someone even suggesting that she be butchered. This made me love and respect my dad so much.

[@saltycat662]

Oh I've seen my father, brother and husband cry over our pets. I don't know how my husband would handle losing our dog. He calls him his first born son lol. My husband would probably go into a depression if we lost him. Human beings bond very strongly with creatures, big or small, even plants or objects. We are more complicated emotionally than many realize.

Every single cat I’ve had has broken my heart when their time was up. They are part of the family. Pablo will never be “just” a barn cat.

Yet, that is the agreement we accept when a cat enters our lives. Whether or not cats know their time on earth is limited I can't say, but my own knowledge of such makes me cherish every moment I have with my cat, as well as in my own life. Cats bring us immeasurable joy - joy which locked in our hearts will continue even when they're no longer with us!

[@coolgamers2794]

I just lost one of my 15 year old Chihuahua dog a few days ago due to old age and possibly unknown cancer. I couldn't put her down since I didn't want to have the right to end her suffering as she loved my family so much. I had her on tons of pain killer and Hemp supplements to lessen her pain until she finally passed away. Sometimes it's better to just let your senior elderly dogs go instead of trying to grasp on them to live with you forever. Good thing is that I still got another 15 year old Chihuahua who was the sister to the deceased Chihuahua as well as having 2 other puppy dog.

To avoid bladder stones feed wet food, especially in the winter when they are less likely to drink water throughout the day. It will help keep the water up in them. When we had a outside cat would would give her a can a day when it started to get cold as well as her kibble. I’m glad you took him in and were able to find out more about him.

[@a6am3mn0n]

Its not a wet/dry food situation its a diet issue, if your Vet says to use a prescription diet then follow that, I thought if i fed my cat a high quality canned diet after his first stone that was marketed to promote urinary health he would be fine, 6 months after i did that he developed a second bladder stone the size of an almond.

[@ellicooper2323]

@@a6am3mn0n There is something that even canned cat food sometimes contain. I can’t remember what now. My sister had a beloved Siamese boy. The first time he got bladder stones the doctor advised wet cat food only. That lasted until he began to eat other dry foods, ie dropped crackers,potato chips, etc. another dr visit. The third he had to have part of his urethra removed. The fourth time, not only have another section removed, the doctor had to reposition the penis. The look on that poor cat’s face the first time he used his new equipment was hilarious. He humped his back, looked down and stared at himself for the longest time and looked at us as if to say, “What The F Happened???” The fifth time he snuck dry food, we had to put him down. He wouldn’t learn, of course, and we had too many other cats and dogs to keep a close enough eye on him. Locking him in the bathroom while the others ate didn’t work. I think he bribed them to save and hide some of his favorite treats. Maybe it was something else entirely that was causing his distress. This was about 60 years ago.

[@animehuntress9018]

The reason they are recommending wet food is cats don't always know when to drink water. Wet food replicates the hunting and helps keep them hydrated. You can ask vets about it but if you do a recommend asking vets from a smaller practice, bigger vet practices often have partnerships with name brand pet companies. This isn't a conspiracy or anything it's just a smart business practice, but it does put vets in those larger practices in a rough spot. Domesticated cats come from desert cats which got most of their hydration from prey, so drinking isn't hardwired into domesticated cats. It's always good to add moisture to kibble food even if its only water, for both dogs and cats. Kibble was invented during WWII, so its FAR from natural for our pets and they've had less then a hundred years to adapt to it. If you don't want to add wet food, then adding water to the kibble is your second best choice!

[@talyahr3302]

Thank you for the info! I'm a first time cat owner and only feed my kitty dry food because never liked wet food as a kitten. Luckily he loves drinking lots of water everyday, but I should give wet food another go just to figure out which one he might like.

One day I found bloody splotches on her bed and over our counter where she would sit. I was a wreck. It’s amazing how much our pets become a part of our lives. She ended up getting put down a year and a half ago, in my arms, humming one of our favorite lord Huron songs “the night we met”. I miss her so much. She was a happy cat and loved from the moment I got her to the moment she went to sleep in my arms.

[@silverforest4682]

I’ve lost my dog recently to cancer. He just started going downhill. That night he was perfectly normal, slept next to me in bed. I didn’t know that would be the last time.

Hello! We had a couple male cats go through kidney/bladder issues. I highly recommend switching to a urinary specialty kibble, or just wet/raw. Stones can be fatal, as we discovered. Best wishes and love to you and Pablo. ❤

[@bluefish239]

I'd +1000 wet food, the problem with urinary specific kibble is you have to stay ontop of it cause of how the urine can swing between acid or basic. Also need to super crack down on him getting into Tobbies food, dog kibble is really not good for a cats urinary system, and bladder/kidney problems can turn deadly in cats sooo scarily fast.

[@heidimattson6775]

Yes I so agree. Once they get one I believe they are prone to more. Urinary track food did the trick. Highly recommend it. God bless. 👽

[@Auchtahelweit]

Getting off the dry food is a good plan. Not only are there issues with their urinary tract but diabetes can become a big problem later in life as cats aren't designed for all these carb laden meals! As he gets older he may start relying more and more on the pet food so switching early would be a good move.

[@VARY78]

The only acceptable urinary kibble is the Farmina urinary formula. It has great ingredients and they add extra things to the kibble like chamomile, cranberry, and there are special enzymes to help acidify the urine and break down the crystals. The other foods like Hill's Science Diet, Royal Canin, Purina, Iams are disgusting and full of carbs, byproducts, and other cancer causing ingredients. The only thing special about them is they are low ash. You can honestly feed a lot of regular pet foods that are also low ash. Vet diets are all a scam in general. But anyways, you shouldn't feed kibble to a cat regardless. It's really bad for teeth and mostly indigestible since there's a lot of carbs and other plant material plus the fact it's so dry is exactly what causes urinary diseases and kidney stones. They can't dilute the minerals in the bladder and kidneys so they build up and form crystals and stones. Cats wait till they're around 8% dehydrated to drink in the first place. Their natural diet is 70% moisture and they should get 70% wet/raw or just all be that. Kibble is awful.

[@25centsworth]

Dry is great for the teeth. But, with males particularly, they need the wet, too. I had a male who finally couldn't eat anything but wet, which was tricky because he had siblings who ate the dry. Moral of the story: Cats should get both. But, some males will not be able to tolerate the dry at all, especially as they age. I've had a lot of cats. Love them. And, I feel for Morgan. He's doing everything he can for Pablo.

[@VARY78]

@@25centsworth You're making a lot of incorrect claims here. It's a common misconception but dry is NOT good for teeth in any way. It's very bad for teeth actually. Cats lack an enzyme called Amylase which breaks down carbs (we have this and it's why if you held a cracker in your mouth you'd notice it starts breaking down and tasting different.) This causes the carbs to stick to their teeth and build up into plaque and tartar. I couldn't even see how it would help their teeth even if that wasn't the case anyways.. Kibble is awful. Besides rotting teeth, it's highly processed making it hard to digest and it's cooked at high temperatures which destroys a lot of nutritional value which forces pet food companies to add synthetic vitamins to the food. A cat's natural diet is 70% moisture and they wait till they're 8% dehydrated to even drink water. It would take them over 2,000 laps of water to drink a single cup. They flick water into their mouth and don't scoop it like a dog. So you can see how it's important to feed a canned/raw diet. Cats need to eat their hydration!

[@martharock8718]

OMG! I remember my own bawling drive to the vet with my polydactyl tabby, Kitty Paws. He had a bad UTI and blockage. I was terrified he would die. Surgery was successful and he lived a nice long life. I hope Pablo heals quickly. Love to your farm!!!!

[@jarrypason9884]

Hello Martha how are you doing today?

[@valeriehopkins644]

Live every day to its fullest. Glad Pablo is getting better. The cats and Toby are your family. No shame in crying for family.

[@gooner4lyf]

Morgan, I hope everything goes well with Pablo. He’s such an amazing little guy! On a more cheerful note, you can never say you’re not a cat person ever again! Sending a lot of love.

[@deed5811]

You took Pablo to the best place for help ❤. Pablo charming his way into the vet staff's hearts 😍😅

[@deborahmitchell140]

Don’t ever be ashamed of loving your animals or anyone! It is a part of us that shows we are in the image of our loving God! I cried with you my dear friend ❤️

[@salo6724]

Oh no! I hope everything will be fine... sending virtual hugs

[@coreyoverbury3118]

Bawling my eyes out along with you there Morgan. Despite how difficult that must have been thank you for sharing with us, there is no shame in loving your animals and to see that hopefully helps make the world a better place. I am relieved for Pablo Barn Cat that it is not cancer and that it looks like he will be on the road to recovery.

[@jonathanb220033]

I lost my two shitzus to cancer it was awful. I cried so much the vet said they never seen a man do it before. The hardest part was holding them while the vet put them down in my arms two weeks apart. I don’t care, I love beings in my life with my full heart. You made me feel their love again. Thank you and god bless my friend!

[@thechellenator]

When you got the news that it wasn't cancer, I whooped out loud and woke up my dog! That's amazing! GO PABLO BARN CAT! 💜🐈‍⬛💜

[@Nick-co9pf]

I remember some of the earliest videos with Morgan saying he's "not very much of a cat person" because of allergies. but here we are. oh yeah, He's a cat man now. Pablo's gonna be fine.

[@trym2121]

Let me tell you what Morgan replied again and again, "I am not a cat person."

[@elizabethkeen7851]

He had a change of heart when little was hurt. You can in that video how much it hurt his heart.

[@thekatzzzzzz]

Oh, I could feel your pain. I have a cat that I just love so much. I have cried when she has been hurt. She's kind of a calamity Jane. lol. We feel responsible for protecting them and keeping them safe. They give so much. You're a kind man with a heart.

[@jarrypason9884]

Hello Kat how are you doing today?

[@shadyganley1095]

I can only imagine how hard it was to go through this let alone film it all and then watch it again while editing, but i just wanted to say thank you for doing it. The vulnerability you showed and the fact you didn't cut out the parts where you broke down is truly inspiring and really helpful to others going through this. Also just because your a farmer who hunts and raises his own animals for food doesn't mean that you care about your animals any less then someone who may be against all those things, which i think is a huge misconception toward the farming community so I just want to say thank you again for helping show people that.

[@nancydeis7121]

Amen to that. Both Morgan and Alison (sp?) have HUGE hearts and love every animal in and around their farm.

[@maryhenderson1529]

I was so scared for Pablo, I was crying too. You are making them ‘immortal’ through your videos. I love seeing what they are up to on a regular basis. I even rewatch older videos to get my farm fix. Thanks for the update.

[@jarrypason9884]

Hello Mary how are you doing today?

[@mickeybooth9892]

Hi , never apologize for being compassionate human your love for your animals is beautiful and how we should all treat them Pablo is lucky to have you as his dad .sending love to all the occupants of the farm ❤️

[@ubercatta]

The ability to love across species lines is the mark of intelligence. The fact that you are able to love and unashamedly have strong emotions shows what a smart and emotionally healthy person you are. Thank you for caring and sharing with us.

[@talullaclementine7009]

To paraphrase someone (I can't remember who): Animals are not our whole lives but they make our lives whole. Sending you, Allison and Pable healing energy and hugs.

[@coder5733]

Huge blessings that Pablo Barn Cat has a treatable illness. God bless you Morgan for reminding all of us to never take the time we have with our pets for granted.

[@VonPatzy]

Cats usually hide their illness and a barn cat can hide far more easily then a housecat. The fact that he demonstrated to you out in the open that he was compromised says a lot about how much he trusts your energy. So glad you made it back home in time for Pablo to ask for some assistance.

[@cherylhammond423]

I am so relieved to see that Pablo is back home!!

[@jarrypason9884]

Hello Cheryl how are you doing today?

[@wendycook6895]

I'm so sorry. Poor kitty. I hope he makes it home. You guys have given him a dream life for a cat. He's loved yet free to roam.

[@freyasgrl]

Animals always break our hearts. They just don't stay around long enough. You are right, love your animal friends while you have them. I'm so glad Pablo is on the mend. Keep us all updated and give him a kiss for us all.

[@mvlmeco1]

I'm so proud of you, Morgan. You did not hesitate. You love your creatures, you wife, and your farm in a way some have little understanding of. I am sending you and all those you love the best wishes, warm thoughts, and silent meditations. Plus extra cat-mojo to Pablo. May he soon be going after Toby-Dog's broth-laden chow.

[@dianasargent4861]

Morgan, bless your loving caring heart for your animals, Pablo especially at this time. Prayers for Pablo. Sounds as if he will recover with change in time & food.

[@jarrypason9884]

Hello Diana how are you doing today?

[@kellyfreas]

Cats are incredibly tough, especially the non-indoor ones. Worst case: 8 lives left. Pablo's gonna be fine. :)

[@jenscheibner792]

Cats are amazingly tough.... Mine surprise me all the time...

[@quentinneveux5057]

So glad he is okay! It's important to show this to people, not just the "good" sides. Take care !

[@joart6542]

I was crying with you, your love and pain are palpable. Crying is nothing to be ashamed of, those people who think that way are hollow x

[@bout3fiddy]

Hey Morgan! As someone who had an elderly cat with a heart murmur, I want to say it was not too bad. He had to be on medication until the end of his life, but it did not overall affect him and he was still very comfortable and active. We had to be careful with how active he was because too much activity would cause syncope episodes, but otherwise it was fine. He passed at age 17, and this was three and a half years after his diagnosis of a Grade iii heart murmur. The top grade is iv, which is the worse- so he did pretty darn well. You definitely have Pablo for at least a few more years.

[@kerryconklin9828]

It is amazing the emotions our pets can put us through. Even the ones that aren't ours! I blubbered right along with you. So, so glad he's okay!

[@astzfat3319]

Yikes, Morgan. Painful to see how painful this is for you. You are a blessing to each and every animal in your care. Wish I had words to help you to armour yourself more. May this be a revealed blessing for you to live in a beautiful balance between the present and the 'spiritual big picture' in joyful faith in the 'knowing' that ALL ultimately is good!

[@brittabaar4663]

Keeping you in my prayers. It’s absolutely beautiful how much you care about your animals. Your videos are always so heartwarming to watch. Thank you for sharing all of the adventures whether they are good or bad. Sending you virtual hugs and hoping Pablo is okay.

[@pumpjackpiddlewick]

What I love about our pet ducks is that from the beginning they taught me how to live in the now. Something I did not do before. They taught me to appreciate every moment and not live with regrets since we never know what tomorrow will bring. Having pets is simply amazing, even when grief touches us because the bring such joy whilst they are with us.

[@HalleluYahfarm]

I love your heart Morgan, i love that you are not afraid to be who you are on camera and to really honor all your animals and to really showcase your animals and your farm for what it is. You are a special person to really be an amazing farmer and animal owner, your animals are blessed and so are you. I love that you are showing the world farmers have hearts and absolutely care about all their animals they are not simply animals that are disposable but each are unique individuals that have amazing personalities and mean so much to each owner and farm. ❤️🙏🏽

[@Noelswitzer1236]

Dude, I love this guy! Such a different type of superhero. I'm so proud to have found this page months back.

[@jarrypason9884]

Hello Brianna how are you doing today?

[@charylliss1472]

I saw the other video first, that he's doing better. I can't imagine how scary this was for you and Allison. Our labrador had bladder stones really badly and our vet was able to do surgery and she came through well.

[@jarrypason9884]

Hello Cheryl how are you doing today?

[@jakilafaele4019]

Your emotions show the kind of man you are, just the kind of human all animals need in their lives. You do a wonderful job, you care for all your animals, and they're all lucky to have you. Never apologize for having feelings, it shows what a good man you are. Hugs and scratches to Pablo barn cat, he's a gorgeous puss, he reminds me of my Rocky cat 💖

[@Valkyrie_71]

I had a cat for 15 years (he was 17 when he passed as he was adopted) and it was terribly heartbreaking to have to let him go in the end. I felt like i lost my best friend. Istill keep photos of him around remember him 10 years later. We talk about what a good kitty he was. There's a very good reason why the ancient Egyptians revered and worshipped cats as gods.. they choose us, and work their way into our hearts. Pablo has many, many more mousing years in him ❤ Just think of us as 42k plus friends as shoulders to cry on Morgan. Thank you for sharing.

[@katnoelle03]

I myself lost my cat at a young age. I was cry right here with you. Know that some of us will cry with you because even though we don’t know them in person those animals mean a lot to us and we’re here for you

[@genebathe9686]

Never apologize for your capacity to love. Both you and Pablo are blessed.

[@LisaMcConnachie]

I'm so happy it turned out to be not so bad!!! My 15 year old cat is my "baby" and we recently found out she's in the early stages of renal failure, so I understand your trauma!! So happy for you and Pablo!

[@unndunn1]

I had a cat with kidney failure. The vet taught me how to give subcutaneous fluids (under the scruff of her neck) to take some of the burden off of her system. They told me she had 6 months to live but she lived for 4 more years.

[@jarrypason9884]

Hello Lisa how are you doing today?

[@tilly28569]

If you don't already please get a water fountain. On my vets advice I got one for my Luna and she's been great since. Cats don't drink enough. The water fountain , they love playing and drinking the running water. No more renal emergencies, touch wood.

[@unndunn1]

@@tilly28569 that’s great to help prevent kidney (renal) failure, but doesn’t help as much with cats that already have failing kidneys. Their kidneys can only handle a certain amount of fluids. Usually the vet will prescribe subcutaneous (SQ) fluids that can be given at home. It helped my cat live 4 times longer than she would have without it.

[@carschmn]

Hang in there. I just had a 19 year old cat survive a broken rib, punctured lung, and pneumothorax. You’re doing the right thing by taking him to the vet.

[@teresaatwater672]

So very glad he is going to be ok. Don’t feel bad about showing your feelings about your animals. There are many of us that feel the same way about our babies. Hugs!

[@BouncingTribbles]

I'm sorry Morgan, much love to you and your big family

[@memor36]

So glad Pablo is doing better. It is the hardest thing about having our wonderful animals-their lives are far too short. But nothing can duplicate the love and memories they give us. Can't imagine life without them no matter how hard it is to say good bye when it is time.

[@francesbruno8445]

From Canada... Old Oncology nurse here. Glad Pablo barn cat is doing well, in that he has a fixable diagnosis. My brother says of pet animals and their shorter lives than ours, that "First they steal your heart, and then they break it" which is so true. It would be sad if you were not upset with the alarming symptoms, and fearing the loss of your companion. Please, Morgan, never apologize for getting emotional about your animals. They are fortunate to be so well loved.

[@brenisback]

Hey Morgan, Our cat ran into a similar issue. We were told that cats often don’t drink enough water, since cats tend to get their water from their diets, and that can lead to a UTI issue. What helped a lot was moving him over to a wet food diet and also mixing the wet food with water.

[@tiffanybullrich2582]

Yes, so many Cats get urinary problems when they are fed kibble. They naturally get their hydration from their prey, so it's better to feed wet food or raw.

[@gkdvrcb]

Yes this is so important to get out there! It's not just UTIs either, dehydration affects pretty much all aspects of their health. In the wild, cats eat frequent small meals and literally get their liquid in the form of the blood of their prey lol....and they are carnivores

[@sunnyjozani8421]

Glad to hear that he will be ok soon. Wishing Pablo a speedy recovery.

[@kjames5682]

So happy for Pablo! He is so lucky to have you guys. What a laid back cat. Although even though it's not cancer, it's still a serious consideration.

[@cuznclive2236]

Good to see Pablo has more time to spend keeping y'all on his path. Be well.
