Today we took our tabby-cat Friskee to the vet. She has cancer and her nose keeps bleeding. I thought this was the day I would lose her. I wasn't wrong. I did lose a cat but it wasn't her it was my black male cat "JJ". He was a cat rescued from the pound in 2003.
"JJ" had feline AIDS. It didn't know this until today. He had a sore on his mouth and that's why I brought him to the vet. I was given the bad news. I was told "My other cat's could catch it (if they haven't already) it would be my best choice to let him go". "He is suffering"
"JJ" was (Named after another black cat I had named Jack) a very sweet cat. He didn't care too much for other cats but he loved us. He was a lap cat. He was a buddy.
This is now the 2nd cat I lost this year. I am about to lose another 'Friskee". SO in a few short months I will go from 6 cats to 3. I love everyone of them. I lost "Ellen" in July. She was my life saver.
If there is a heaven I hope I get to be reunited with my cats. I have no children so my cats are my children. It hurts that there gone. Here is a breakdown of all the cats I had over the years
"Snowball" 1969 - 1984 He died of skin cancer
"Morris" 1973 - 1973 He disappeared
"Elsa" number 1 1974-1975 Attacked by a dog. I was 7 years old. I had to pry the cat out of a neighbors dogs mouth.
"Elsa 2" 1975- 1975 She ran off. I was always holding her and protecting her.I was afraid to put her down. I thought a dog would get her. She disappeared when I wasn't looking.
"Elsa # 3 1975 - 1976 Hit by a car
"Elsa #4 1976- 1985 She was a kitten of ELSA 3. Our neighbors adopted her as a kitten. Then they moved across country and asked me to take her back. ELSA disappeared from my home in 1985
"Rambo" 1985 - 1997 He died of kidney failure. I was 12 weeks sober at the time of his death (I am still sober today)
Ellen 1997- 2008 She had numerous issues
Sylvester 2003 - 2003 I was moving and my parents wanted him
Jack 2002 -2003 We were moving and my parents took him
HOOVER 1999 - (Still alive)
JJ 2003- 2008 Feline aids. I MISS YOU BIG GUY
Sam 2003 (Still alive) My big fat girl.
Friskee 2003- She is still here. The nicest cat I ever had. She came with the home we bought. We lost that home to a hurricane in 2005. Now we are losing that last thing we had of that house and that's our cat Friskee.
She now has cancer. Thank god she doesn't seem to be in pain. She eats all day long. I am selfish I don't want to lose her.
Slippers 2006 (still alive) HE is my fun cat. He is. I can walk into the room and he jumps into my arms.
So by New Years I will be down to only 3 cats. That is enough. For all the people who don't love cats I say "Give it a chance".
