A few weeks ago I posted here about Peluche, who was found dead after being missing for a week. With her history of a heart murmur, the vet thought she had a heart attack. Now my friend has just called me to say that Tigger, Peluche's son and only 18 months old, had a stroke yesterday and had to be PTS as he was paralysed in three legs and in great distress. It could be that he inherited the same weakness that his mother had, though he seemed perfectly healthy. The family were just coming to terms with the loss of Peluche and are devastated. They still have three of her kittens but are now terrified of something else happening, though all are vet-checked regularly.

I will pass on your condolences. Apart from the three remaining cats whose mother was Peluche, they also have Shelley, who is 20 years old. Of course, they realise that she is on borrowed time, though still active, and are being extra protective towards her now. Of all of them, they expected her to go first. I can only hope that Shelley has at least a few months left to her, as they could not go through another loss in the near future. Lucy, their owner, is near to breaking down completely and her mother has gone to stay with her.
