Subject: Callie...Its sad news
She was so strong and well just yesterday morning that part of
me wanted to believe that she would bounce back but when I found
her this morning on the floor and she did a terrible cry when I picked
her up I knew that something was terrible wrong with
her... The blood test showed kidney function had stopped and the
vet said that she had so little blood in her vains that he
suspected internal bleeding probably in the liver... When I
brought her to the vet this morning she could barely hold her head up for a
short time and after being at the vets all day and having sub Q liquid all
day which is probably what kept her alive she was even weeker...The vet
felt she was probably in pain and didn't think anything would bring her
back so we sent her on ahead to the Rainbow Bridge.... Callie
was a feisty little calico...She was reported at AW to be hard to medicate
and when she arrived here we learned that she would only let you touch her
for a few seconds and then you better let her go... We learned where the
limits were and soon she began to trust us and Marie did better with some
of the other AW cats than I but Callie definitely chose me....Now that I
think of it she was never close to any of the other cats but she was always
with me whenever I was around... She new when I was putting on clothes to
go outside and meow and meow and she would be waiting at the door for me
when I came back in... A few time that she did sneak out with me she let me
catch her and if I would tell her NO as I when out she would sit there and
wait.... Right now she would be sleeping on top of the monitor
while I am on the computer....She was such a good friend to me and she
had so much personality...She had some hard times during her life
but she was happy and loved here at the end...I only wish she could have
stayed longer....I can't believe she is gone so soon.... I will miss
her for a long time...
That leaves 4 of the original 6 from AW....OJ
has never been a totally healthy kitty...He has had to stay on antibiotics
for several bacterial types of infections and he has never played and raced
around the way some of the others do but he has always been a big purr
and snuggle bun....And antibiotics is easy to keep them going...Both OJ
and Fred who is my first FeLV+ kitty who gums seem to get infected
when I take him off antibiotics...He only has a few teeth left now...I have
had Fred well over 2 years...I have had several worries over Fred and
OJ and they are both special buddies so I can't complain ... They
are still here....I guess this is just the way it was meant to
be.... Tad and
Marie
