as it were me,my husband and 2 year old daughter were tryin to find 2 kittens to bring into our family, im a HUGE cat lover. i really wanted 2 pure white kittens, and low and behold i get a call from an old friend that says she has a litter of kittens, ALL tabbys except 2 lil PURE WHITE KITTENS! i knew it was meant to be. so we went and picked them up took them to the vet got them healthy and happy. they brought us more joy then any other animals or cats i have ever had. there was a girl and boy, the boy had short fur and 2 diffrent color eyes, we named him kane, he was more of my daughers cat, always playing with her and sleeping in her bed. but the girl, she was long fur and SUCH a huge mommys girl! the sweetest cat in the entire universe. when i would come home she would be waiting at the door and jump up right into my arms, wrap her paws around my neck and lick my cheek. she used to lay tummy to tummy with me at night and wrap her paws around my neck and go to sleep with me every night! i LOVED her with every ounce of my being. well she was about 5 years old and got a REALLY high fever one day, we took her in the vet gave her antibiotics, and an IV. she recovered after a few days and was herself again. about 2 months later she was really sick again, had fluid in her lungs wasnt eating or drinking as she should, took her in again, and the same treatment, she got better but not for long again. she began to get very lazy and wouldnt get up barely at all anymore, then starting using the floor for the potty, eventually, we took her back in and the vet said her heart was beating irregularly, and her organs were shutting down, we made the choice to put her down, the vet said she was not going to get better and that it was probably feline lukemia. i have never felt that much pain in my life, then when i realized she wasnt going to be in my life anymore. i chose to stay and hold her as they put her down, she was so great to me i felt i owed her that much. she had barely any blood volume so it took a minute to get the injection in, but i held her tight and kept telling her i loved her and then in a few fast minutes her pain was over and mine was just begining. i cried for about 3-4 months missing her and wishing more then anything she was still with me, but i knew her pain was over and she was in a better place. i miss her like no one could ever imagine, and when its my time to cross over the rainbow to, shes the first one i hope to see and jump into my arms! her name was khyia, she was the most loving sweetest cat that was ever born, we love her and miss her more then anything! i still think about you everyday, sometimes i cry at night i miss you still so much. be happy up there baby girl! i will see you again and we can be together forever, ill save a spot in my bed for you lol I LOVE YOU KHIYA I HOPE YOU KNOW HOW MUCH!
