Jack & Jimmy were brothers. They were not litter mates. They shared the same mother. Unfortunately, the person who gave both kittens to me neglected to mention she had a history of Feline Infectious Peritonitis, or F.I.P., in her home. Both of my first born
furr-children died from this disease.
Watching them die was horrifying. They both became anorexic & all they wanted
was to be loved & to live.
Jack was his Daddy's Main Man. Jimmy was his Mommy's Baby Boy. I will not allow their death's to be in vain. I want to educate the world about deadly diseases, like F.I.P., that claim hundreds of thousands of cat lives each year. We have to rise above ignorance & find things out for ourselves. We have to be willing to make the extra effort.
Jack & Jimmy were very pampered, indoor-only furr-children. They had premium quality food, fresh water, warm beds & clean litter boxes. They had more love than they knew what to do with. However, they didn't have well informed parents. It's true, Jack & Jimmy would have died even if we would have known about vaccines. But, not knowing about vaccines could have caused their deaths. Please, I beg of you, if you have cats, get them vaccinated. Have them spayed/neutered. And, please, please...Keep them indoors. |
