kittys, rain drops, and sadness in the world
We brought her home and she was wide eyed and investigated a bit before a nap. But she wouldnt eat. Then she threw up. Little Lia didn't feel so well.
Went and got a vets number from E's parents, but cause it was late and sunday he was not there to take an appointment. We returned to little Lia excited to see us. She romped and climbed me for an hour while we played wow. I still have a few claw marks.
Then this morning she was playing on the bed. kneeding elisha's back and meowing. Then at about 4am she began meowing, but differntly. then at 6am I found her dragging her body across the floor as she cried at us. I got up and tried to pick her up. she wouldnt right herslef at all, not even try to put her feet down.
I cried. inside. We rushed her to the Emergency Vet clinic where we left her at 7:30 when i had to go to work. Poor kitten. They said she had contracted guardia, and had gone into a hypoglysaemic coma. she had just meowed at me 2 min's earlier. 2 MINS!
We left her there in their capable hands, the doctors out look was grim. She was one sick kitten. Elisha and i came back, i showered, and headed to work. The vet called my cell, the said they would only call if there was trouble. She had given them a scare. She had stopped breating. I cried a bit more in the car, gathered myself and went in to work.
I called they said she had made a turn for the better and could lift her head. poor kitty. strong kitty, i thought.
I wanted elisha to eat with me so she came down, and while we were at bw3 my phone rang again. My heart sank, and i ran out the front door.
"i have some bad news about lia" the man said. "she passed away while she slept."
I cried a tear for my baby girl.
Now I sit here, and I miss that damn cat. less than 22 hours after we met, she passed on.
Kitty heaven they say, she's fine they say. I still miss her. Lia love you always 6/12/06 2:40 pm.
I sit here and Titan our brand new 2 year old male sits on my lap and rubbs all over me with love. and i cry. He's has a new home and a family that will love him, but he has no idea how much his predecesor will be missed.
He was a lucky find. a gem. He makes this soo much easier. The healing begins and the bonding with a new pet sets forth.
Miss you Lovely Little Lia.
