I know. Greystone passed on April 15th, the day before Easter and we laid him to rest on Easter Sunday. I'm using Greystone as my avatar. He was only, barely, 5 years old and had kidney failure. Well, less than two weeks later, another one of my cats got very sick. Buddha (Boo) got sick, he is 16 years old and a black cat. Well, we took him to the vets and at first, thet thought kidney failure. They ran tests, nope, his organs were OK. Then they X-rayed him to look for any cancers. Nope, no cancers. So it was diagnosed as a massive infection, one of his teeth doesn't look good so maybe it could be that where it could have been a abcess. Operation Save Greystone became Operation Save Boo. He is doing OK now, Thank God, we thought we were going to lose him too.
The only other cat I have under medical care is Pansy, she has a hyperactive thyroid, but it is easily controlled with medicine, she will be 19 in August.
