Chase had been ill for almost a week. I took him to the vet on Monday, and they gave me some pills to make his infection go away so he would feel better. I came home lastnight to a very, very sick kitty...so we went to the kitty doctor. (Chase liked the Kitty Dr.) He told us Chase was very, very ill...more so than what we though. He needed to start him on an IV, and keep him overnight and run a plethora of tests. Poor Chase couldn't stand up, but he could still purr like a lawnmower.
The vet called me this morning, and gave me the news. Chase had liver disease, kidney disease, heart disease, severe jaundice, dehydration, low temp (needing heating pads) His body was just shutting down, ready to rest at any minute. We had more tests done, and it was concluded, that my indoor only kitty, of 8 years had FIV. He then died just after 4 this afternoon.
He represented a time in my life when I needed someone. So I adopted him. I was alone, too young to be by myself, and he was the only living being that loved me unconditionally...and I loved him back. I am going to miss him meeting me at the door every day, crushing me at night when we slept, and stepping all over me when we watched TV. I am going to miss him soo much. It hurts.....bad...
