Our three-legged kitty, Peggy, came home from the veterinarian, but not as we had hoped. After having her for a week, Dr. B wasn't able to determine what was causing the paralysis of her good rear leg and and was planning to call us this past Tuesday to discuss putting her down, but she died overnight before his call. Karen picked her up that day and Wednesday morning I buried Peggy next to Mo and Miss Hissy's #2 kitten from her first litter.
Miss Hissy initially was leaving some of the wet food we put out in the morning and evening for the cats, so her little ones could eat the more nutritious food, but now she is eating it all. It's obvious she misses her babies, but also obvious she feels at home here because of her coming closer to us and watching us through the upper level windows. She has been with us for almost a year and for a small cat she has held her own in the tough life of an outdoor cat.
We like her and want her to stay, but we feel we have to do something to make the loss of her kittens less emotional for us and for her. We are planning to get her to the vet later this month to have her spayed, vaccinated and examined, so she may be more apt to become an indoor-outdoor cat and less likely to be attractive to the guys that come-a-catting. For now we have some pictures, memories and plans for Miss Hissy's future with us.
Rest In Peace.........Peggy Schatz.
