| Arthur was rescued in August 1991, he had been left in a garage with his brother Jessie with no food or water. Fortunately for them both Susie heard them meowing, got into the garage and took them home. Arthur was full of fleas and had a very bad virus, he could hardly see as his eyes were bunged up and he was full of congestion. Susie took them both up to our vets for a full check up. Jessie was fine, he just needed to be de-flea'd , fed, watered and given lots of love. Arthur had it ruff , he needed a coarse of antibiotics, eye drops, nose drops, plus de-flea'd. What a state the poor boy was in . After many trips up the vets Arthur became a wonderful young boy, his coat gleamed with health, however the virus he had , had left him with permanent damage to his sinuses. Nearly all his life he has had to have various trips to the vets for drops & tablets, but to Arthur this was all normal to him, he knew no different, after all he had been like it since he was a kitten. Arthur was a very affectionate cat & highly intelligent, in fact probably the most intelligent cat we have every had. All our friends loved Arthur, they even affectionately nick named him, Darth Arth, Snotty & even Ugly, ah! Our poor boy! 3years ago Arthur was diagnosed as Diabetic, hell if he hadn't been through enough? Still we battled through it, and not one to be left out Felix had to be diabetic as well ! Felix to this day is still Diabetic, but under control however Arthur the fighter that he was managed to completely get over diabetes. In the end all his troubles of 14 long years, his kidneys let him down & on Friday 2nd September 2005 Susie & I had to make the painful decision to put an end to his suffering. Arthur went to sleep in Susie's arms purring as he went, being told by both of us how much he was loved and will be missed. "Breathe pure for the first time in your life Arthur, run and play with Mr D, Elsa, Trina & Gemma. Till we meet again may Buddha protect you and guide you in your re-birth" Love you always Your mom & Dad & all your brothers & sisters XX |
