Sad news

 

                      Baloo 4/11/21 to 3/10/22

My sweet boy is gone. I didn't make our struggle public as some people would have wanted to insert their opinions and I needed to try to do my best for him.

With symptoms starting in January, my vet and I suspected he had the wet form of FIP. I decided based on his age and attitude, I want to try to treat him. I'm not going to debate the merits of that decision. If you have opinions, please keep them to yourself.

After 52 days of treatment, his body gave out. He just didn't have any fight left and I made the kindest decision to let him go. 

I'm broken. He was a special boy: tormenting Chanel, snuggling at bed time, playing with foster kittens. The house is missing a presence. 

---------------------------

To make yesterday worse, sweet Soda 0assed away suddenly too. 

You may recall he was here when Goldfish was a kitten as I was looking for a kitten raiser. He flunked out here but my friend Heather adopted him and he did great at her house. Fly free sweet boy

Taco accident

 

The taco truck is pretty popular. Chanel and Daiquiri like to sleep inside, Baloo prefers the top.

Well the other day he may have leaned too far to one side:

Lazy weekend

 We are SO far behind....sorry

First: all of the noodle kittens are back at the rescue. Everyone has bern adopted except Gnocchi and Manacotti (who is being treated for a cold). Even Farfalle the momma cat!!

We added a new single kitten that the trapper named Horton. He is super sweet and just needs to get big enough for surgery. Baloo does treat him like a cat toy though which he does not fund amusing. 

Everyone else is doing mostly well. We are dealing with some things with Chickpea - she has some sinus issues going on we need to get figured out and resolved. Buster is up on the rescue website and Mike will get posted soon. 

Otherwise, mom is working from home and buried in rescue paperwork while we take it easy. 

Weekend report

 The Beans and the Noodles all got their first vaccines. Some eye boogers going on in there but nothing serious. Mom is saying she needs to get more dishes cause she gets run over on there at mealtime. 

Baloo enjoyed some cooker weather this weekend:

Mike is a joy. There are waterproof pads in his own and he makes his own cave system. Mom did order some silicone bowls for him to use since she worries about him banging his head on the dishes as he eats. 

We are melting

 The cold air machine decided to break. Mom was at least it's not July here but it's warm. And we live on the 2nd floor of the building so it's not so nice here. Mom has all the fans on high and ice cubes in the water dishes. And the repair guy is coming tomorrow. 

In the meantime we are making her feel guilty:

Well except these 2 who are enjoying the open sliding door in the foster room.
