Max was a black and white tuxedo cat. He never knew he was a cat. He was the smartest cat I ever saw. Max was twelve and a half years old. He lived outside, confined in our back yard with his brothers, Speedboat and Muffin. On the 8th of July he got sick. I took him to the vet the next day. His bloodwork showed kidney failure. By Monday, his bloodwork was worse and the prognosis was not good. We had him put to sleep because the vet said he had first thought it was a chronic condition, but changed his mind and decided Max had acute kidney failure. I miss him so much. I think of him everyday and I wonder will I ever feel better. I have no idea what happened to him. If I did, maybe that would help. Apparently he had some kind of a shock to his system which damaged his kidneys, or he was exposed to something toxic. How long does it take to feel better? I love my other two cats, but they don't fill this hole in my heart.
