My PS3 finally died and one of my cats is really sick

I turned it on to play some more Rainbow Moon and after 10 minutes it shut down with a flashing red light. It's a launch model with PS2 BC so I guess it has had a good run.

From the internets it looks like I can take it apart and clean it out to fix it which I guess can't hurt since I have no warranty on it after all this time.

Anyway, no PS3 for me. I'm going to have to finish some games on the Wii and 360 I guess. 

I got home to find our old torti cat hiding in the basement. She was fine yesterday but is now sleeping and vomiting and unable to poop properly. This happened to her back in 2009 and after spending $1600 for enemas which did nothing and an ultrasound it seemed to clear up on it's own. 

If it doesn't this time I'm afraid the old girl is going to die. We don't have any money to pay for vet visits. 

Why this crap always happens to us all at the same time I have no idea.

Anyway this has been a crappy day.

I'm sorry to hear about your cat.  I went to the vet today because our new puppy has a problem of some sort we cant identify exactly.  

Hope things get better for you.  Frown

It's hard when they get sick and even harder when you don't know how to help them. You feel so helpless like you're letting them down.

I had to nurse my dog Loki back to health after he wandered outside the yard and ended up with Parvo....that was an ordeal.  Eye droppers full of pedialyte and having to use my index finger to coat the roof of his mouth with protein paste...yuck.  

I'm sorry about your cat, your ps3, and your day Peter.  I hope it gets better for you!

Man, sorry to hear life is droppin it on you. I hope your cat gets better. I know how scary it can be when they get sick and there is no money to take care of them. Just remember that the good always follows the bad. Smile

I hope so. This week has been pretty crappy all round. It started with us losing our telephone, cable and internet for 4 hours and it was all downhill from there.

I used to be allergic to cats too. If I went over to someone's place and they had cats I'd wind up losing my voice and talking like Tom Waits. Somehow my allergy went away.

There seems to be a place down the road from me that repairs consoles. I may check that out in a week or so and see how much they charge. I'm more concerned about my cat at the moment. It's bringing back memories of having my oldest cat Max put down 2 years ago and it was so painful.

Well im sending prayers for you and your cat I have 4 Chiauas and there part of my family as well so keep me posted on your baby. Oh and I know your ps3 is down but when you get it up and running you should check out Paradox of Fate its a way different game that has a great story by NIS...

I hope that cat gets better and tomorrow is a better day for you. If not, there's always another tomorrow. And when there stops being tomorrows, there's a nap.

Best wishes to your kitty, Peter. I hope she pulls through it this time too.

Thanks Michael. I don't want her to go but she's 15 or so now so I have to expect it at some point. I don't have to like it though.

That does sound like a bad day Frown Bummer on the PS3 and I hope your cat pulls through.

I'm just waiting for the anvil to fall out of the sky now. If bad things come in threes I've already had my share this week.

Sorry to hear about your poor cat. I'm a huge cat lover myself and I know it's tough, especially with not having the money you wish you had to fix her up. Hopefully, she'll bounce back.

I hope so too but I'm steeling myself for the worst while hoping for the best. It can't rain all the time.

I offer my condolences to both your kitty and your system. I fear mine may go at any time given it was a 60GB BC system. I thought I could break into mine if it finally kicked then I'd have to give up sending it in to Sony itself given how MS sent my broken 360 back after it was repaired before them.

Hopefully your kitty can hand in there and kick this illness again. Brave heart good sir!

Damn dude... sorry about your PS3. At least you have other things to game on though.

 And yeah, poor cat. Hope she pulls through...

We're going to take her to the vet just to see if there is anything we can do for her at home. She hasn't had a drink or eaten anything in 2 days. I don't want her to suffer.
