It's sad to say but yet again another of my cats has died.
Well, she is being put down now or so I heard...
We noticed she was getting bigger around the belly area and assumed we were just over feeding her but she had some disease which she most likely got from the shelter we got her from.
It's called Feline Infectious Peritonitis.
Her kidney was filled up with calcium or proteins...I'm not too sure and well she would have died a painful death. In other words she had a disease and there is no cure.
At least she had a happy 3 months, the only part that hurts is she had to spend her last day at the vet for examination and we left her there as she cried.
At least her other sister is still here with us but they said it is contagious.
She was the smaller cat anyway...She was small most likely because she wasn't getting any protein etc so...Oh well...
Her name was Tia and she was 2 years old we think. She had such lovely eyes...

Your journal post touched me.
I hope your other cats will live longer with no diseases.
Cheer up.
It's just sad you know...Imagining what life could have been like with her there...
And how it's so hard to eat anything or do anything. Life goes on and eventually it will for me, at first she'll be on my mind, then she'll just be memories and then I'll lose that memory and she'll just be pixels on a screen.
That's the sad truth...But I can't let it get to me for too long, I have my own future to worry about.
She's buried now next to the other cats anyway...But I wasn't strong enough to dig the hole so my dad did it as always. He reminded me of the black cat we had many many years ago.
She had problems with her kidneys and was oozing poo all the time. Can you imagine digging her grave while she ran around the garden...That's got to hurt my old man.
But yeah "Life Goes On".
It hurts bad to loose a pet. Hence the reason I decided never to get a new one.
@Madcow: Same here
My cat has a massive saggy gut as well, but that probably has something to do with him being ten years old and extremely lazy.
