My other thread, FIP, when should I put my kitty down, has been on this site now for over 1 week. My adopted persian Kitty, Kegan, has been sick for the last 5 weeks, and I think it's FIP. So, that thread was all about him.
Today, at 7:00 a.m. my vet called to inform me that Taffy, the persian who was found hiding under a car at a gas station in San Antonio, and who I found on the internet, drove from Houston to S.A. on New years eve to pick her up, is now dying.
From the first time i got her, her eating was strange, couldn't eat enough, then I got her teeth cleaned, I don't know, after that, not that i think it's at all related, would stop eating her food, through up, and i would rush out to try her on another food, she'd like it for another 3 weeks, stop eating, throw up, etc. etc.
Such a sweet little persian girl, the vet says she's about 9 or 10. Brought the new kitty home in March, guess it was the stress, she never liked him, sickly little kitty, liked she sensed it, and stopped eating herself a week ago. I noticed, but so involved with taking the kitty to the vet, fever for 5 weeks, and for the last 1 week a bloated stomach. As i mentioned in my last thread, I'm not dealing with this well, I can't eat and crying all the time over the kitty.
The kitty is still here, eating, probably FIP, but hoping and wishing that it's not. Who could be so cruel as to inflict 2 dying cats on 1 person in 5 months.
WEll, the vet called today, diagnosed Taffy with Fatty Liver, BUT, an e-ray on Friday showed a tumor? or something in her bowel, and on her beautiful little furry leg is an awful tumor sticking out.
So, the vet says, get her in, we'll start force feeding her, do surgery on Monday, and then she'll be on a flipping feeding tube. God, could i do that to her? Make her suffer like that? The vet says she's 9 or 10, maybe she's older, but I CAN"T put her through that, as much as I love her, and god, in 5 months how I love her, she's the sweetestl little girl, licking my fingers, loved to jump in bed at night. She's not eating, and I WILL NOT let her suffer, so most likely this coming week, which I though would be the week to put my, MAYBE FIP kitty down, it's going to be her. SO UNFAIR, I was hoping to have 5 years with my little girl.
In closing, I always felt, even though she got lots of love from my husband and I, that she was always homesick. So sad, but she always gazed out the window, and I always thought she was thinking of her family. WE always believed that she was owned by an older couple, perhaps they moved to a new home in San Antonio, she some how got out, tried to find her way home, and couldn't, so sad, but she is so sweet natured that it was hard to believe that she didn't come from a very loving home. Maybe she just wants to go home, as much as we love her, she finally adapted to the name we gave her, Taffy, and I would loving call her Taffy Apple. I AM SO SAD..........
