My little white tabby cat came to us when he was only 5 months old. He
had been left behind in a house we had rented. We went in there and he
just walked right into our hearts. His weight was about 3lbs and he had a
sore leg. We took our little guy to the vet the people who had owned
him told us she was named Patches. Well we took him home and called him
Mick.
What a wonderful baby this was .We were so very lucky to have
him.He was the most gentle beautiful boy. We had two older cats and he
just walked into their hearts like he was their baby. Schooch. Mitzy
Becky our dog. He just was at home one year later another stray came
along to become Mick`s best buddy Trey. What a happy home we had for
the 5 years.
In September of 2007 we notice our little guy seem to be
losing weight took him up to be weight . He had lost 2 lbs. And so it
began.. for the whole month we were back and forth twice a week. We had
to force our little boy to eat we tried everything.We got test done
took him to vet college. Our little Mick
had F I P the most awful thing we couldn`t believe it. No Treatment,no
cure,no hope. We were in shock. This only happens in very young kittens
or
older cats 15 or more years. This only has a 5% chance of happening at
all it is very rare.
This little boy is a housecat spoiled rotten the
way all housecats should be. He would hang onto the fridge for his
shrimp,bar clams and crab meat. How this could have happened we will
never know. Never have I been in so much pain. He was our boy but he
was mom`s baby. He would sit on my pillow at night and tug on my hair
so I would wake up and let him in under the covers. He would slink
accross me to give his dad
a kiss. Then he would cuddle in and patti cake on his mom or in her
hair.
He would reach up and ever so gentle run his paw on my cheek. I have
never
had such a gentle cat. He had this little way of giving cold nose
kisses while you were sleeping. How I miss these.
On Oct.1st 2007 mom took her baby
,her sweet little soulmate,her pride and joy.I had to let him cross
over to Rainbow Bridge I just couldn`t let my baby suffer any more.
Half hour after I took him home the vet called to say he had the
highest count of FIP that they had ever seen. This is worst then
cancer. I took him home and let his brothers and sisters visit.His dad
Mick got to come home before we let them come get him to be cremated.
Slinky Williams is back on his mom`s bed.I will keep you there as long
as I am here Micky my sweet angel kitty. Mom & Dad Schooch,Mitzy,Trey &
Becky miss and love you so much little boy. We hope you are out
smelling flowers ,eating grass and rolling
in the garden dirt.The way you would do when we put you on your harnest
and took you for a walk around the yards.Dad wrote a poam for you.
You would curl up with me at night
I`d keep you safe till morning light
Everything was so right-with you
And like a thief in the night
FIP came and took your life
And left me to mend a broken heart
They say time will heal
But that`t not the way I feel
The hurt seems deeper everyday
It left a hole so wide and deep
My only escape is when I sleep
And dream I`m with you, my angel kitty.
So each day I shed some tears
And think about the last 5 years
And the love that I knew
And pray to God that I may see
The one that means so much to me
Mick. My angel kitty.
