Nothing can replace my Daisy. She was a long haired orange tabby cat. I have 3 other boy cats who I love so dearly also, but me and Daisy had that special female bond:) A few months ago I noticed her getting sick alot. I didn't know if it were hairballs or maybe she was just eating to fast I had taken her to the vet to get groomed and they said she had lost 3 pounds. She was 16 pounds now down to 13. They gave me hairball medicine and said to try that and if it does not help than to bring her back to do bloodwork.
By now, it after Christmas, and Daisy is acting fine but she still is losing weight and getting sick. She purred so loudly and still acted as if nothing was wrong. She loved music, I would always sing to her and she would come up to me and rubbed against me and just purr. So we decided to take her to the vet, and they do bloodwork and it turns out that her white blood cell count is high and her red blood cells are low. And she is very anemic. They gave her some medicine for us to give her. The next day Saturday, she would not eat at all. It looked like it hurt for to swallow. So I take her back to the vet, so they tried to force feed her and that wouldn't work. I am sitting in the room with her just crying. They gave her some IV fluid and an antibotic shot, and gave me some shots to take home and give her. Yet, they are still baffeled by what it is. They are saying she is still purring and acting fine.
As a few days go by, I am still giving her antibotic shots and she still will not eat. She might have licked that plate a couple of times but that was all. So then we take her back to the vet Thursday. They decided to keep her overnight, they gave her IV's and tried to feed her and did a bloodcount and her white cells are even higher, and said that she has an infection but they don't know where. We pick her up and take her to antoher vet that Saturday. That vet looked at the bloodwork and said she has leaukima. I cried and cried. Why didn't the other vet tell me that? I don't underatand, but I will not go back to the other vet ever again.
So we brung her home, I would sit with her on the porch and I would sing to her and hold her and kiss her. I had to decide what to do and when to do it. I knew I had to put her to sleep and it was so hard making that decision. By Monday she was doing worse, so I knew Tuesday I was going to put her to sleep. Monday night she would whine alittle bit and was so weak. I was so sad, I just cried and cried and told her how much I loved her.
Tuesday morning I had to work for a couple of hours and so my mom came over to watch Daisy. I had made an appointment to put her to sleep at 12:00. I told her Bye Tuesday morning and sung alittle song I always sung to her.
When I walk into the house, my mom was sitting on the couch with Daisy, and told me to read the note. Mom had written down that Daisy died around 9:35 that morning. She said she got sick and threw up some black stuff and then took 3 gasps of air and then laid her head down. Mom told me that she sung to Daisy that morning and prayed for her. She did all that before she died. I cried, and I sat there and petted her. It was not meant for me to be there when she passed away, I am glad my mom was there with her and let she was not alone. God must have known how hard putting her to sleep would have been for me so he took her on his own. I wrapped her up in her blanket she always slept on and put her in the box. I wrote her alittle note and put it in there with her. I made a cross and painted it and wrote her name on it. We put flowers around the cross. When I got home and walked into my room I cried. I am use to her laying there on my bed meowing when I walk into the room .
I have 3 other cats Leo, Socks, and Sunny. They are all unique and special in their own ways. My cats are like my kids. I never will forget Daisy, she will be in my heart forever. I know she is fine and is up there in the biggest window on the universe looking down on me. DAISY SUE March 15, 1998-January 10, 2006
