Last October, when someone brought in four flea-ridden, less than four week old kittens, we knew that the chances of anyone surviving were very, very low. Within a weeks
time, three of the litter had perished,one every day, and I told one that Halloween Eve that she could NOT die the next day, I had put one cat
to sleep on Halloween Day, I didn't need it to be the reminder for two kits. Amazingly enough, the last kit survived, and bonded with my Rusty,
who went to the bridge himself just a week or so later. Always small and dainty, with a small voice and a lot of tortitude, she was a bit of a
loner from the other kits in the household, sometimes sleeping with Tiger or Babycakes, but most often alone, she liked her petting on her
terms to......just some gentle head scritches and back strokes, no cuddling, please!
In the early spring, tests proved sadly correct that Sweet Pea was FeLv+, so we knew that her time with us would be shortened.......just not that it would be
this much shortened. Less than a year from her birth, Sweet Pea joined Jewel, who passed earlier this spring, and her beloved Rusty at the
Rainbow bridge. She was to have gone to the vet in the morning to be evaluated and probably pts....but she went of her own accord,
her way, at home with only the other kitties and no humans mucking about. Play and run free, my sweet little girl, and always know
that meowmy loves you. Fittingly......it's rained all day here......is about as gloomy outside as my mood is inside.
I have one pic to add when I find it, there are others on my phone that are more recent, but phone and computer aren't conversing.
