It's been almost been two months since my beautiful, female, orange & white cat was put to sleep. Three months ago is when it all started. She had been missing for three days and I was really worried about her because she never stays away that long. When she finally showed up I ran outside to her and found her covered in dirt and looking really thin. My dog gets along with all our cats but not with this stray one who was there that day. So when my dog ran out after the stray one, Murphy sort of ran away then she just dropped down and had a terrible seizure, thrashing around and chomping her jaws and yowling! We brought her to the vet who examined her and thought, maybe she had eaten poison or got hit by a car. But on further examination he noticed that all her claws were missing and she was severly dehydrated. He then told us one of the most awful things I had ever heard, a PERSON had done this to her! He told us that someone had beaten her or poisoned her. Pulled out all her claws with a pliers. Starved her and locked her up. My whole family was devasted! Who would do such a thing! He gave us antibiotics but the seizures continued, about three of them a day, and everytime she had them, her claws bleed. Mostly she had them when she got a fright, like the dog barking but sometimes just out of the blue. So a couple of days later we brought her back to the vet. He put her on half a phenobarb twice a day to stop the seizures, but they didn't work. So we brought her back. Then she was on three phenobarb a day. But she was so edgy after her ordeal with who ever abused her that everything scared her. So one day she got a fright, had a seizure and after that she wouldn't eat or drink. So back to the vet and he examined her. When he opened her mouth all her teeth were cracked and broken, and her tongue was slit down the middle, like a snakes tongue. The vet said the last fit she had must have been a bad one and her chomping at her jaws must have caused this. She was in so much pain and was so scared that the vet said the best thing for her was to have her put to sleep.
Please keep this story in your mind and tell everyone who cares, she died because someone did that to her and I miss her everyday. She was only two years old.
-R-I-P- Murphy I love you and you are always on my mind Xx
