Arnie 8th April 07 - 3rd Aug 07

Arnie was precious. A little purr box.

In his short life he had already suffered from Coccidia and was skinny from it.
He and Winston came to his forever home on Saturday.

He was a lap cat from the start. On the 2nd day he started to loose his appetite.

We took him to the vets yesterday who said he was a very sick little kitten.
They did exploratory surgery today and it turned out to be FIP.
The Dr said he wouldn't recover from this and I didn't want him to suffer anymore.

He was put to sleep 10 minutes ago.

I'm glad he got to learn, even if it was for only a few days, not all humans are bad and dump kittens. I am glad he got cuddles and I will miss his purring and his head bumps.

Dear Okuda:

I am SO sorry. I had a bad feeling that he was not going to be here long, from your previous post; but I had no idea it would be FIP. We've had experience with this awful disease as well -- my beloved King Sunny-A-Cat succumbed to it after an almost record survival time on Immunoregulin and B-12 (and lots of love, of course) -- he was just shy of 16 when he let me know he needed to leave me. And several years back, I adopted a rescue kitten who seemed very healthy and checked out that way; I believe she developed FIP from the vaccine, and once that happened, she rapidly went downhill. I know you must be devastated -- I know I would be.

You are so right, though -- at least Arnie knows that not all people are bad news, and he knows what love is. What an adorable little boy. He'll be forever in your heart.

I'm so sorry for your loss.
He's a beautiful boy, Rest In Peace sweet baby.
You're new Mommy loved you very much.

He was a very precious little boy. I'm so sorry that was not well . You were very sweet to give him love even if it was for a short while.

Thank you everyone for your kind kind words

Oh I'm so sorry he didn't make it I was really hoping he would. to you and a for Winston who must be missing his brother.

The poor baby, i'm so sorry

This gorgeous little boy is going to be mothered by all the older kitties at the bridge
