So the crazy 8 cat lady has now become the crazy 6 cat lady. Once again NOT FAIR!!! And its not at all who we expected to go. About an hour ago we pulled Famas out of her kennel to light off a flea bomb. She was COVERED IN FLEAS! I've NEVER seen so many fleas in my entire life. Billions of them you guys. I don't even know HOW it got to be so bad. We JUST discovered the fleas like 2 days ago.
So we pull her out and she's Lethargic. Her tongue is Pale. I put her in the shower to give her a flea bath to try to help. I had to do SOMETHING! ANYTHING! I TRIED I swear I tried. She had been bit so many times she was bleeding out. There was just so much blood you guys. I KNEW tonight would be her last night.... I just didn't realize it would be her final hour at that.
After the bleeding stopped I managed to get at least 200k fleas off of her. But there were still about 500k left. I didn't count but but it surly seemed like it. After a while she laid down and I looked at her and said "Famas, it's ok. I forgive you for EVERYTHING. It's ok to go. I don't want you to suffer like this. PLEASE Just go. I'm sorry for hating you so much it's ok I forgive you. Just please GO ALREADY! It's not fair and I can't watch you suffer like this!" She let out a silent meow (Probably telling me off... most likely telling me off.. but I like to think it was more of an ok I'm sorry too for everything I did to you.. but chances are it was not)
The next thing I know she has what appeared to be a seizure. And then she passed.
It was the MOST HORRIBLE thing I've EVER witnessed! Famas was only 4 YEARS OLD!!! She was STILL A KITTEN!!! Her entire life ahead of her! Snuffed out by an Army that sucked every drop of blood from her overnight. I never realized HOW BAD Fleas really were. This Did NOT have to happen!!
As Upset as I am atm about what just transpired, I have 6 other cats that I feel need my immediate attention. I Never want to experience that again. We are starting off the New Year with an UNNECESSARY funeral tomorrow. I'm angry at myself for not seeing the infestation sooner. I'm angry That I couldn't save her. But I'm GOING to save her twin Brother and the others from that horrible fate.
RIP Famas
