I lost the other sick little one last night. The calico one. She just couldnt hang on.
I stayed in last night, wrapping her up in warm towels because she was so cold to the touch. I tried a regimine of karo syrup on her gums every 30 minuutes for an hour and a half in hopes that her blood sugar would rise and her body temp would be warm enough and she'd eat.
I woke this morning and she seemed to be doing a bit better but tonight, i found her under her brother who was trying to groom her. She couldnt have been dead long as she was still limp and what little warmth was in her still lingered. At least she passed surrounded by warm kitty love.
I moved her out of their box and into some red fabric I had out for a costume I'm working on. Her brothers commenced their kitten games of knocking eachother over. Boys. Ain't that always the way.
I burried her in front of the house, around the corner from her brother. the ground is much softer and I could bury her a little deeper. The adult cats stayed in. I did this one alone by the front porch light, fireflies around me as mourners.
RIP Turanga Leela.

Hmm, somehow we aren't friends anymore! How can I not be friends with you since our birthdays are the same day! I'll have to work on this..no idea what happened! Having raised and bred showcats with my folks for years...I completely understand how you're feeling. I had to make some tough choices..I love cats so much. It's never easy. My best to you.
