A year and a half ago, our 9 month old kitten Bunny was diagnosed with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (it was later changed to a diagnosis of restrictive cardiomyopathy). We were heartbroken because Bunny was in congestive heart failure and was so young. We'd raised her and her brother with bottles from the first day of their lives when they were found in a warehouse, and while her brother was always sickly, Bunny seemed so big and strong. To know she was diagnosed with a terminal illness just devastated me, to the point that I became profoundly depressed for over a year. I stopped blogging, I stopped watching TV, I didn't even read anymore. We've fostered a couple dozen cats, and bottle-fed at least a dozen too, but our attachment to Bunny and her brother is extra-special in a way I can't describe. I even had to stop fostering kittens last year because I was emotionally fragile that I didn't think I could handle the burden of giving them up for adoption, and I knew I didn't need any more than the 14 cats we already had! <br /><br />I'm happy to say that now, 19 months after her diagnosis, Bunny is still extremely active and crazy... she's the most agile and daring cat in the house. She went temporarily blind a couple of months ago from a concussion, after she fell off a shelf in the kitchen and hit her head -- that's how much of a daredevil she is (her vision and head are now fine). She takes Enalapril and Lasix, and at a 12 month echo checkup, there didn't seem to be any change from her initial echo. I know she won't live forever, but this news helped me open up again, and to start to come out of my shell. My pills help, too, but every time Bunny's brother comes and lays beside me for armpit snuggles, or Bunny lets me cradle her like a baby while I rub her belly and she sticks her tongue out, I feel a few of the clouds going away. I can't imagine how dreary my life would be without all of these guys in my life, no matter how painful it can sometimes be.<br /><br />When Bunny was diagnosed, you somehow found the blog entry I wrote about it and sent me a really nice, long, encouraging email about Pixie. I can't express how much that meant to me. I also can't tell you how many times I wanted to reply, and didn't, because I didn't feel up to it yet. I've thought of that email as recently as yesterday, believe it or not. I had no idea Pixie had passed away until I read an old entry about her today on the Whiskers & Purrs blog, and I felt such regret that I hadn't been able to offer you condolences at the time, and that I hadn't gotten to know Pixie better through your blog. I also regret, of course, that I still hadn't answered your wonderful email to me. <br /><br />I know this is very late, but please know how much your supportive email helped me get through days where I kept bursting into tears. Just knowing someone else understood lifted a big burden from me. My extended family in the US isn't always very supportive about our animal rescue work and our pets, and they've actually told us they don't want to hear about Bunny because "hearing about the pets is boring", so I really do rely on my Internet friends to keep me going. I'm glad you've added a new cat to your family, but I know you'll always have special memories of your time with Pixie. I hope I can love my little Bunny just as well, and hope we'll get to enjoy her company for at least another 4 or 5 years, if not more. You know what I wish for when I blow out my birthday candles :)<br />Thank you for everything... I'll think of Pixie everytime I eat bananas now.<br />Leigh-AnnLeigh-Annhttp://www.theblogpound.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2240334138501910154.post-2887805203974414132008-10-11T16:37:00.000-04:002008-10-11T16:37:00.000-04:00I'm so sorry to read about Pixie.
