Poppacat, Howse uf Koster, Abt. 1993 - July 13, 2003
It iz wif hevy hartz dat we annownse dat our beluffed Poppacat haz
crossed offur da Rainbow Bridge affur a defastating an sudden illness. We no dat diz haz come az a shock tu meni uf yu, az it haz tu uz. Poppacat was heer wen Meomwie botted our WunTruHowze in 1995. She alweez felt dat he waz a dumped kitty, an knew wut da IN wuz lyke, beclawz he wuld sit onna deck longingly lukkin IN. At da tyme, Meowmie felt dat deyre wuz no moor room inna howze fur catz (deyre were alreddee four uf uz), so Poppa an Bitsy an Baby liffed onna dek. Dey were hur beluffed Pile O'Tabbies. But den, in 1998, Poppa gotted inna Big Fiyte wiff anuffur cat, an Meowmie brought him IN tu heal hiz wounds. She declared den an deyre dat he wuld no longer be an OUT cat, an neefur wuld Bitsy or Baby. Poppa healed onna outside, but we soon fownd owt dat he had a tymebome onna inside. Poppa was tested an fownd tu be FIV+. TED Catherine had sed dat he culd haf a long an happy lyfe, but dat it maybe wuldn't be az long az uffur catz, an dat eggstra speshyul care wuld be needed tu keep Poppa helfy. An so he wuz, fur fife long yeers. But reesentlee Meowmie notised dat he wuz no longer da robust, bowlegged, barrel-chested sailor cat dat he wunce wuz. She watched him and saw dat sum uf hiz habitz had changed, an he didn't seem tu be eeting well. Den she fownd a lump on hiz jaw, an dat wuz da final straw. She tuk him tu TED on Furriday. Sum blood teztz were run, and da verdict wuz in. Da Big Illness had finally come: Feline Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (FAIDS). It wuz tu far adfanced tu do ennyfing but try tu help him gain some wayte an keep him happy until it wuz time tu go to da Bridge. Bof TED Catherine an Meowmie felt on Furriday dat it wuzn't hiz tyme to go yet, dat he wuz still doing da fingz dat catz du: eetin, an sleepin, an smurglin. But Poppa had uffur ideahz. On Saturday nyte, he let Meowmie no dat he wuz reddy. Dat wuz da longezt nyte uf Meowmie'z lyfe. She smurgled him, an told him she luffed him, and dat it wuz okay to leef. He slept somewhat peecefully awl niyte, an wun part uf Meowmie hoped dat he wuld go to da Bridge on hiz own in hiz sleep, but inna morning, Meowmie called TED Catherine an arranged tu have him helped da last steps offur da Bridge. He took doze lazt steps dis affurnoon at 1:55 P.M. Pacific Time. He will be graytlee mist. An we are awl losted wifout him. Junior, Bitsy, Baby, Cinni an Cookie -- ****Dogs have owners.
