We had to give away our cat long ago when we found out my dad was allergic :(...

Sabiir:: She was only three. She was always little and kind of sick though. She was my cat Sweet Pea's kitten from her second litter, her littermates didn't survive and she barely did, but we managed to save her. But I always knew she wouldn't live to be really old. She passed away about a month after I left home to move in with my boyfriend. :<

Artsy:: I'm so glad no one in my family was allergic to cats. I don't think I could live without a cat.

What happened to the litter? Why did they die?

I don't know. They were just born sickly. We tried to save them all, but Chloe was the only one that made it.

....Bye, Yumeh. >.>

Artsydaze 05-21-2012 12:49 AM

I see, yes, when they are very young animals can get quite a bit of fatal illnesses...

FIV maybe. It can pass from mother to kittens. And it would cause a very shortened life.

`Kitami 05-21-2012 01:25 AM

Sweet Pea has always been really healthy though. o.o

dessertdesiert 05-21-2012 01:27 AM

Perhaps she got lucky. It isn't transplacental, the infection occurs during birth with fluid mixture. So it's possible she closed her eyes at just the right time, and that she may have narrowly avoided getting infected.

`Kitami 05-21-2012 01:33 AM

I honestly haven't thought of that. But FIV makes sense, Chloe acted a lot like the cat I had when I was eleven who passed away with that.

*rolls through the thread* Sabiir!!

steelmagghia 05-21-2012 01:40 AM

Yeah, it's a pretty destructive disease. They can live long lives if they never come into contact with any other diseases, but unless you have a very isolated kitty, that isn't going to happen. I'm surprised my guy hasn't gotten it, since he's an outside cat. Admittedly, all the cats he comes into contact with are owned by the neighbors. They're well groomed, vaccinated, well cared for, etc. No stray cats around.

Artsydaze 05-21-2012 01:45 AM

Everyone's talking about cats tonight... that's uncanny O.o...

Seito 05-21-2012 01:47 AM

*noms on Artsy then*

Whimzica 05-21-2012 01:47 AM

Oh wow. I dont really know much about cats issues.. All of my past kitties have been outdoor cats so its a little surprising. No cats at the moment though unfortunately.
And hullo to everyone! :3 I wish I had a chance to be on more this weekend.

steelmagghia 05-21-2012 01:47 AM

Haha, I'm going to be a vet. These things are sort of important for me to know.
