my Chloe is dying
19 years old, long-term thyroid problem which we've been treating,
but she's been getting steadily thinner and weaker and now she can hardly walk. Almost no interest in food - drinks a lot, including Whiskas "cat milk" formula which is about her only real source of nutrition now. She spent years never leaving the house, then a couple of weeks ago she suddenly remembered what the catflap was for and has been out in the garden most of the day. It's mostly been a bit cold and breezy, and most cats would come inside; my guess is that like some old dying people she feels too hot. I'll try to get the vet to come round tomorrow. She got badly frightened the last time she had to go to the surgery and I'm not putting her through that again. Problem is, she has tiny and hard to find veins - very difficult to get a needle in. We've had her 17 years. She's been a lovely old friend. For years about the only part of human beings she could relate to was feet, but a few years ago she suddenly changed, and any moment I was lying down she'd be on my chest purring and bopping me on the face to ask to be stroked some more. She had the most persistent purr I've ever encountered, just never stopped. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- e m a i l : j a c k @ c a m p i n . m e . u k Jack Campin, 11 Third Street, Newtongrange, Midlothian EH22 4PU, Scotland mobile 07895 860 060 http://www.campin.me.uk Twitter: JackCampin |
