Dearest peoples on the innernets,
This is Elsie Fallulah Graves checkin' ins with our Top Cat Tuesday report. Last night mommy had to go by the vet's office to pick up some medicines. She talked with the vet that actually got our sweet Jimmy ready to send to the crematorium. She said when she took one look at Jimmy, her first thought was "Oh no...this is a heart disease kitty."
She seems to believe that our Jimmy died of "acute massive heart failure due to heart disease". Apparently, heart disease can be sneaky...a kitty can have it and the vet not be able to pick it ups. And, it don't have nothin' to do with diet or exercise in us kitties the way it does with humans...it's
primarily hereditary and tends to strike male cats between the ages of 5 - 7 years old. The vet says Jimmy more than likely just up and died 'cause his heart just stopped.
That helped mommy to feel a little better...she has been so worried that she just somehow missed some symptoms from Jimmy...but the vet says there was probably no way to tell this was agoin' to happens. Mommy picked out Jimmy's urn yesterday...and he should be comin' back home to the Whiskers & Purrs House in a week or so...well...it's not really Jimmy...he's still with us...we just can't always see him. But he's watchin' over us from heaven and knows how very much we loves him...and always will.
Everything else is goin' okay...we are all very busy eatin' suppers, makin' sleeps, purrin', kissin each other and tryin' to take care of mommy. I hope all of our friends on the innernets has a wonnerful week and comes to visit us as much as possible.
Very truly yours,
Miss Elsie Fallulah Graves
