Lightning

With a heavy heart I had to say goodbye to my Lightning this morning. He has been in poor health for a while. I have been syringe feeding him for over a year and recently he was not eating at all by himself, seemed to be in pain when syringe feeding and he was drooling bloody saliva. The vet found a large tumor in his lower jaw below the tongue. It was time to say goodbye. He has a good live of about 19 1/2 years

I remember when I adopted him on 3/9/98. I recently lost a female kitty and was looking for a female at the local shelter. However, this big, white long-hair, male kitty caught my eye. He just pawed at me through the cage bars. He was found as a stray, was un-neutered and had a stud tail. I can say he was not a maintenance-free kitty. A few years after he I adopter him he became blocked. After repeated blocking, he had the PU surgery performed. That work for a year or so and then the blocking started again. I thought all was over. However, after the second PU surgery he never has anymore blocking problem.

Hi Larry,
I am so sorry for your loss of Lightning.
I have not been on the board very often of late, but I do remember how kind you were to me when I first started with Junior and his journey with Diabetes.
My thoughts are with you, and Junior's are with Lightning.

 

deepest sympathies Larry. too many kitties recently and majority due to cancer. I hate cancer

I am very sorry to hear about Lightning, but know you gave him a wonderful life and a great home. You have such a good and generous heart to take in so many kitties. A year of syringe feeding takes real dedication. I had to syringe feed Princess (GA) toward the end of her life. She left me at age 13 after a very loving life with Mousey Tongue until he became a GA in 2003) and with Jack (until she left us in 2009).
