Cassandra,
I know Kisa had problems, but it seemed (and I hoped) that she was
going to rebound. I'm sad to read that she's gone. Thank you for
taking such good care of her.

Kisa passed away this morning while I was at work, exactly one
month after Koda. My heart is broken, especially since I wasn't
there with her at the end.
I had prayed and hoped so much that she would continue to improve
after she started eating again a week and a half ago. I suppose it
was just too much for her to overcome. The anemia never really did
improve much. Though her breathing was better, her skin was so pale.
The last few days, her appetite faltered again, and she was getting
weaker. I didn't think today would be the day she died, though i'm
relieved she didn't have to go on suffering much longer. I don't
think she was in pain, and I sincerely hope she wasn't in pain at
the end. It was just so hard to see her so weak when she was as
active and happy as a kitten 3 weeks ago.
Kisa is going to be missed more than words can say. She never
quite saw her 3rd birthday, but the time she spent with us will
never be forgotten. She was special in so many ways, I wouldn't
even know where to start to list them all. Fearless, loving,
gentle, playful, curious, and sweet are just a few of the words
that describe her. She's been sleeping on my pillow the last few
nights, and i'm going to miss her warmth so much.
If it ever stops raining, she will be buried next to Koda tonight.
I made a rock garden full of flowers on top of Koda's grave. Now
Kisa will join her there.
