Umi



I lost my Umi today.



She had been sick for the past weeks and had not been eating. Stayed about a week at the animal clinic with an IV drip and meds. Her liver enzymes were high and she had jaundice. We brought her home last Friday and gave her sub-cutaneous fluids twice a day.

She was 10+ years old, not yet 11.

I hope she had a good life with us.

We will miss her.

    I am so sorry, Wendy. I know Umi was a special cat. I always enjoyed your descriptions of her playing. Losing a cat always leaves a gaping hole in your life. I don't have the words to provide any comfort, so I am sending you a great big hug. I hope that Tsuru is well.

    I'm so sorry. That's not very old for a cat either. BUT she had a wonderful home when you took her in. Tsuru will miss her.

    As a rescuer of many stray cats myself, I'm sad for your loss. I'm sure your kindness in taking in a rescued cat gave her many years of comfort and security. Bless you for your generous act of caring.

    So sorry to hear this news. Umi was a beautiful cat with gorgeous clear blue eyes. She was lucky to have 'found' you as her owner, and she had a happy life with you.

    Oh, no...I'm so sorry to hear about Umi! Poor girl had it rough this past year and she hung in there as best she could. She had a wonderful life with you, so much more than what it would have been.

    I feel the sorrow, even now, over a year later. How many kitties get to be immortalized and shared with so many around the world? I am a cat rescuer, also, and know what it's like to save them from all manner of mistreatment. Being in a rural setting all my life, ours are always partly outdoor dwellers, so occasionally they just disappear. We have 7 at the moment (had one for 9 years, 2 others for 4), another 2-3 many show up in the next few days. We had 10 a couple months ago. I was just thinking today of starting a blog and call it the Kansas Kat Kabana or Kat-Kwarters or Kat Kasita or, I don't know! Thank you so much for providing such a comfortable life and loving care for Sweet Umi. I still have a year of your blog to catch up on... I hope Tsuru is still well - and perhaps has a new friend in the home? I will keep reading.. NOW! ((HUGS!)) from Tatikan Sher
