Minnie is one of our cats & she has been diagnosed with tumor & tomorrow she’s going to have her surgery. It kind of scares the shit out of us. Basically Minne, Princey, Mickey & Fluffy were all born on 24th July’98. A week before their birth, our kitten Chotu was being ran down by our own chauffeur…it was 17th July’ 98. Naturally when these 4 were born, they were more like gifts from the Lord.
Unfortunately, Fluffy died when she was just 7 months old. She got infected by virus & she couldn’t make it. At that time, we were also learning about cats. I was more attached to Princey. Anyone who ever saw him used to fall for him. He had that kind of face & personality. Minnie is my sister’s cat & Mickey is my mom’s baby.
Well Zara & Minnie have a very strong bond. She’s going to turn 11 this year. So far is Mickey is concerned, he has a lot of attitude problem, but he is all love. 2 years ago, Princey died due to urethra blockage; we did whatever we could, but he didn’t survive. That was the worst blow of my life. I have never loved anyone like that. Moreover, Mickey couldn’t take his death & he plunged into depression for 1 & a half year. Mickey is doing fine now, but it took one hell of a long time to get over his brother’s death. The vet told us that cats are so very sensitive…that many a time, they die after the death of their loved ones.
And now we have Minnie who has got tumor. The vet is confident about the surgery & I just hope everything goes okay. In fact, we have changed the vet, cause the first one was not that confident & we were scared as we lost Princey & even another cat Tokyo 2 months ago as his surgery also didn’t go well.
This time we just can’t afford to lose another baby. Although writing this wouldn’t help in any way. We all have been worried about her for quite some time. The thing that would give us contentment would be her life. The surgery is risky though. But we don’t have any other alternative. If she doesn’t go through this surgery, after a couple of months, we have to ask the vet to euthanize her. That is also not a good option. I just hope everything works out this time.
