Meowlo. My big brofur, Peppers, died this morning of pancretitus. He was brave and fought all weekend, as did Mom&DadKatt. They force-fed him baby food several times a day, but the appetite stimulants he got Friday weren't doing any good. All he would do was drink and, last night, he stopped doing that. They didn't think he'd make it through last night, but he did, somehow. MomKatt took him in at 7 AM sharp, and they put him on an IV for fluids, as his temp. was 8 degrees below normal. They wrapped him in blankets & a heating pad and, once his temp was up to par, they were going to start an IV line for feeding. But, as Dr. Lofgren was trying to get the line into his paw, he saw Peppers give about three breaths and ... he slipped away. MomKatt wrote this about him on her Facebook page: I told Peppers that now he's an extra bright star up somewhere in the vast Universe, amongst the other stars and planets.

We had a great weekend too, lots of whiffs n' naps!
ReplyDeleteHere's what I did, Selina - I mentioned you in a blog post!

That looks like what we did here, too! :)
ReplyDeleteSparkle: We subscribed to your blog! And thanks for mentioning me & my story! MomKatt says that if that helps someone decide to adopt a "less than ... " (gee, I don't like that phrase, do you?) then even better! :) :)
ReplyDeleteI understand that peeps sometimes have, especially nowadays, tight financial situations that won't allow them to adopt a kitty with issues that *would* take a lot of money and care, etc. But someone like me? Or just a 100% healthy BLACK kitty?? No excuse, matey! No excuse! ARRRRGH!
And I didn't know that torties were the second-hardest to adopt! How sad! Why is that? Because they have such "distinct" purrsonalities?
Honestly, the ideas some PEEPS get ... it's enough to make you spit out your Fancy Feast!
PURRS!

Hello Selina, we remember you from when you were Faith and Brian told us your story. We didn't know you had your own blog (we read about it at Sparkle's) how exciting!!! We're following you now and look forward to reading all your adventures :-)
ReplyDeleteSelina, I see you are in position, just below the Queen . . . Seriously, peeps can be so silly about coat colors or other "non-issues" You are a great example of a spectacular kitty, including your black coat and one eye! Who wouldn't love you?
ReplyDeleteTaffy and that woman
Laura here: I must be weird - my fav cat color is black, 2nd fav tortie! (Though I don't discriminate - the WHOLE cat is what's important.)
Pee Ess: I forgot. I be Dread Pirate Kidd. Ahoy thar matey!
ReplyDeleteKizzie did a similar thing, as usual at the weekends. Wish I could do too.
ReplyDeleteTaffy and "that woman" (MomKatt always chuckles when she sees that ... MOL) ... you are, of course, right. Who WOULDN'T love me? I mean really ... LOOK at me. MOL!
ReplyDeleteCat - WELCOME TO MY BLOG & thanks for following! Hope I keep it interesting for ya!
PURRS!
