Patchy's Paws

Goodbye my wee darling

I got home from work this morning & found my wee baby lying in the driveway, she must have had a stroke or heart attack as it didn't look like she'd had another fit. Her blood levels were only checked 2 weeks ago & the level of medication was at the right amount.
She never really got back to normal after the fits, she was quite vicious if you tried to move her & was food obsessed which she never was before. She would still come to me for cuddles though & was only sleeping on me the other night.
I have spoken to the vet who said that it was probably a brain tumour judging by her symptoms & history.
I will really miss my wee girl not meeting me when I come home & her talking to me all the time.
I love you so much my wee Patchy

2 long hard weeks

My poor wee Patchy had a fit on the 5th of November, the vet thought it could have been a reaction to an insect she might have eaten. She was fine for about 6 days then had another one, over time she was having them constantly & was rushed to the vet, sedated & blood tested & rehydrated for a few days. She has severe epilepsy, there is a gene that causes it, we have her litter sister Scroggy , so hope that she hasn't got it as well. Patchy is on medication for life, but she is not the character she used to be, there is a possibility she might never be as she was. The other cats won't go anywhere near her, they hiss & run off when she gets near them. I hope my wee baby can come back from all this.
