Hugo Katt news. Not so good.

I expected the vet to phone about medicine for Hugo Katt's hyperthyroidism.
He called - but the news was bad. The last result from all the tests had
come. Hugo's test was positive to FIP.///

I am so VERY sorry to hear this. We'll keep him and you in our thoughts,
purrs and prayers.

Purrs and prayers for Hugo Katt and his meowmie that these days will be
special and you will find strength and wisdom and comfort when needed.
Nice that Hugo feels better after his "spa week" and doesn't have to
take any of those nasty meds....

Blessings,
PatM

I didn't even know we have FIP in Sweden. I have never ever heard of a cat
here that has got it. The vet said Hugo might have had it from his birth.
Kittens can be infected by their mother before they are born. Hugo's mother
was a homeless cat. As Hugo has been strong and healthy all his life it can
have lain dormant until he now, at 16, is getting weaker.
I think now that I am lucky to have only one cat. If there had been more,
they could have been infected too.
The vet said that it is probably no use to give Hugo any medication for the
hyperthyroidism. It is very unlikely to work on a FIP cat. And Hugo hates
being pilled, so he would be upset, two times a day, and it is very bad for
him to be stressed.
So that is that.
I will try to make his remaining time as comfortable as possible. He sleeps
a lot but I think he still likes to live. The vet thinks so too.
Some of you wondered why Hugo had to stay 6 days in the hospital. He was in
a bad shape when I brought him in, very thin and dehydrated. So he needed to
be rehydrated for several days and generally looked after. You could say he
got a spa week.

Many purrs for Hugo Katt, who is the most gorgeous fellow, to be
comfortable. Purrs and hugs for you at this very difficult time too. I
only wish I had known Grant's time was so short so I would not have
been forcing things on him that last week. He would have been so much
happier. I know my big black fellow is purring at the bridge for Hugo
Katt.

Purrs for Hugo to be comfortable, and more purrs for you. I'm so
sad to read about his FIP. I've never known a cat with it either.

Purrs,
Cheryl

Lots and lots of purrs and best wishes for Hugo and you to have many
more happy years together,
Polonca and Soncek

Sorry to hear the bad news. Purrs for you and Hugo.

I'm so sorry Lisa. I don't know anything about FIP but I hope the
rest of his life is happy and comfortable. Hugs and purrs,
