About Vivi
The
year 2006
ended the same terrible way, as it begun, with the death of Vivi.
Vivi
was
the firstborn kitten of Megan, born the 17th of february 2001. She was
unbelievable soft, quiet and patient.
And she was a huge cat with a thick big head and enormous strong legs
and
bones. Whoever saw her in real life or on photos, was sure, she must be
a male.
Her weight was about 10kg.
She
had a
blatteroperation because of calciumoxalatstones and seemed to be very
fit
again. The day before we were at my vet for a check and specially the
heart
sounded totally normal.
Then
the
shock for all of us, when she suddenly started, to scream extremely
loud and in
panic. I was running up to her and she looked at me, laying on the
side,
totally pale and screaming. At that moment I felt, that I would loose
her. Also
Megan was alarmed because of the screaming and was sitting helpless at
her
side.
Within
15
minutes we reached the vet. Vivi’s body temperature was down
to 31 degrees, she
was dehydrated, pale and had water in her lunges. My vet told me, that
she was
on her way, to die, but tried everything, to save her. Her blood
levels were
totally normal, no signs for problems with kidneys, lever or of an
infection.
Ultrasound and x-ray showed the diagnosis: HCM! Almost no more volume
left,
strong thickening on the left side of the heart.
We
tried,
to stabilize her with infusions, heart- and dewateringtablets, but the
death
was stronger. We decided, not to let her suffer and put her to sleep a
few
hours later.
My
whole life
I will see her big eyes in front of me, when she looked at me. And
neverever
will I forgot her terrible screaming. She must have had enormous pains
because
of the HCM (maybe a thrombus). It was pure horror!
So
quiet,
as Vivi always has been, it became afterwards in my house. Megan, Kenny
and
Bonita didn’t leave my side for days. They didn’t
cry this time; they were just
terrible quiet and sad and took only a little food.
Little bumblebee, there is an endless emptiness in the house, since You are not
here anymore.
You
have
always been only lovely and patient. Let Your sister Scarlett teach
You, how to
fly in heaven and then show it to us, when we are together again one
day.
Name:
Hjerteknuser Scarlett O'Hara
Called: Scarlett Breed: Maine Coon Colour: Tortie Blotched Tabby Born: 17.02.2001 Died: 01.01.2006 |
About Scarlett
Scarlett
was born
The
autopsy
of my vet, histology and pathology said a clear result: HCM. Her heart
had a weight
of 40g and almost no volume left. The gene-test at Laboklin showed that
she was
heterozygote positive for HCM. By the way, she was the first positive
cat at
Laboklin at all.
Never
had I
expected that on Scarlett, so active, that she has been. And her body
showed
that she died during her play, without fight.
We
all are
missing her terrible. Especially Megan and Kenny, although they had the
opportunity, saying goody-bye the whole night, they were crying for
days. Megan
even lost her voice for days, so much she was crying after her daughter
and
girl-friend.
Scarlett
was beautiful like a sun-downer. And now the sun went down for us
forever. But
in heaven she is finally having enough space to fly.
My
special
thank is going to Danielle and Kenneth Villefrance (Ailuro) and Anette
Melchior
(Milinocket), which where standing at the side of me and my beloved
cats, and
helped us, to come out of that valley of tears. Breeders and very good
friends,
being honest and whom I could always trust.
Little
doll, we are all so sad and lonely without you. But we know, that you
are
now at Charly and Kitty, and one day we will all be together again
Charly was my first Maine Coon. He was born the 22th of april in 1986. Charly had a pedigree, but it was lost by one of his several owners. I knew him, since he was 8 years old and got him 3 years later. Everybody was impressed by his wonderful green eyes. He was unbelievable social and lovely. My kittens were „nursed“ by him. He was Kenny’s best friend. As we had to put him to sleep the 16th of march in 2003 with almost 17 years, Kenny was at his side and was crying for him several weeks. |
Kitty was my first cat. She was born the 31th of may in 1980. Seven years later I got her. Kitty died the 12th of june in 1998 with 18 years. Even today it es still painful. The last year of her life she lived together with me and Charly. |
