You know, I feel this here, I really do. Perhaps this is why I keep writing in what has turned into a little diary of Sasha's last days, when I said earlier I wouldn't. I know it's hard for you all to read and I'm so grateful. But don't read if you can't or if it hurts to read. Just me knowing that you are here on the site is all I truly want. It's very comforting for me to come here and record my thoughts and pain. It's the only place that I have any solace, yet it's a place where so many great kitties, all the wonderful kitties have also passed. I know that everyone here knows what it's like to lose a kitty in this world.....and that comforts me because no words, really, are necessary in my overwhelming sadness. I feel everybody's love and kindness towards my Sasha.

Did I tell you what he was like as a kitten? SiSi, (RIP 5/18/03 ) his mama, was a fantastic mother. She would drag Sasha around in her mouth and toss him up onto the bed, or if outside, literally toss him on a tree branch to have him watch her exceptional hunting skills. Sasha would be sprawled out on a branch mewing and mewing in his little kitten voice and there was big Alpha Mama hunting and stalking....never giving up until she had caught something. I guess that's how he learned so early to persevere.

He refused food this morning, but a nice surprise this evening....he ate an entire can and went out to the pumpkin patch, with my watchful eye never leaving him, and enjoyed a nice, cool, sunny Spring evening. He walked around the yard and then wanted to come in. So proud of him! The first sign he's been interested in his favorite season.

Thursday we do an ultrasound to see how much time he has left in terms of where the fluid is attacking his organs and if he will be in any pain. I am a huge bubble around him, protecting him and sheltering him from all.


Here he was with SiSi. He was 10 months here, and grew to be 21 lbs and tower over her.

So glad to hear he went outside for a bit!

Look what Stephanie made me! It's a little hard to see and I can't enlarge it, but it says "I'm gonna be ok, Mamma!" and it's Sasha sitting by our side porch.

That is gorgeous..and so true. What a wonderful gift.

Awww bless their little hearts How perfect is that picture of mother and son

Eddie thanks for sharing that little story of Sasha being a kitten. It's through remembering things like that that will keep them living on in your heart

What a wonderful memory of Sasha and Sisi! It's the precious memories that keep us going!

I'm so pleased to hear that Sasha enjoyed his Spring evening!

I'm so glad Sasha enjoyed some time in his garden. And Stephanie that is such a sweet thing to do.
My heart just breaks everytime I read this thread

Stay strong

I am so so sorry to hear this, I hope you enjoy the time you have left and his scan shows you still have some good quality time together.

SASHA DOES NOT HAVE FIP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dr. Redmond called first thing this morning and the second series of blood tests showed negative for FIP. I have been praying about 10 times a day, but she said she couldn't believe it either. So she had them done at a different lab and the results were the same.

However, with the white blood cell count that high, we are doing an ultrasound tomorrow at 11 a.m. to find out what is invading his body, but isn't showing up conclusive on the bloodwork.

Sasha ate a good breakfast and went back to his favorite day-resting spot in the living room and was purring, happy.
He is a little withdrawn, a little lethargic, but alert and reactive to things, just in a more subtle way.

I do not know what to make of this!!! Was it a mis-diagnosis or a miracle?? This is a very skilled doctor...and this vet clinic is linked to our old clinic where Sasha got the best of care after the coyote mauling - so the doctors speak frequently.

What do you think?? What can this be????

Oh my goodness!! Well I'm hoping it is a miracle! I hope they find out whats wrong and are able to fix it ASAP. Maybe this just isn't Sasha's time.
I have everything crossed this is not a misdiagnosis

Wow.

I have goosebumps. Either way, FIP is pretty horrible, and if he doesn't have it, a lot of prayers were answered. How amazing....

Oh thank goodness..I'm hoping it's a miracle

Yay Sasha, way to fight buddy!

With this many people praying for him, a miracle wouldn't be out of the question in my mind! Go Sasha!!

Well, I'm a little flabbergasted - I feel emotionally exhausted....but we'll see what the next day brings!

A miracle, indeed!

I just read about Sasha's ordeal and my heart goes out to you

I will be praying that we hear good news from you about tomorrow's ultrasound.

I am just sorry I put everyone through this! I feel a little embarassed, but the vet called early Monday and said all signs pointed to FIP and his white blood cell count was completely wacko

. The T4 is totally negative, no thyroidism.

Eddie, what fabulous, fantastic, absolutely wonderful news . I know that nothing is certain and you still have to find out what has caused Sasha's ill health but wow! this is surely a miracle. What a fighter your brave boy is

I am just delighted to read of this second set of results and will be keeping absolutely everything crossed for good news from the ultrasound.

You have no reason to feel embarrassed about this at all, we feel every moment with you and it's just so wonderful to hear that the news might not be all bad
