Well, my Momma just got off da phone with da specialist vet dey took Maurice to last week. His test on his fluid came back and confirmed what they already knew. Strongly positive for FIP. Maurice has been really going downhill yesterday and last night. All night I stood guard ovfur him cuz dat is whut I duz.... I guards da old or sick kitties from playful kittens dat don't quite unnerstand dis whole dyin' thing and think dat maybe if dey just got Maurice to play or sumthin' he would be all better. It ain't Crockett's fault, he's just a lil guy, but Maurice didn't need no hasslin' wiff. So if he came ovfur to bug him (only did it once), I just kind of ran him off a lil... Whitley tried to lay as close to Maurice as she could git wiffout botherin' him... she sure duz luv dose kitties and I thinks her poor lil pup heart is breakin'... He sure is leavin' giant holes in everyone's heart and huge pawprints to fill...
Da folks have called da vet and made arrangements... Maurice will be crossing da Rainbow Bridge at 11:00 am this morning...
Dis place just won't be the same wiffout da King of Cats, da MoMan, Mr. Elegance, da Cat who Hugs, Mr. Gorgeousness..... our Maurice Louis....
We'll miss ya always, big guy....
Updated: On da way out da door to da vet, dey let me and Maurice sniff noses one last time.... he reached out wiff his paw and tapped my nose gently...one last smacky paw for ole time's sake.... just like the very first time I met him, when he weighed all of 2.5 lbs... came right in and owned da joint, smacky pawed both of us pups.... dis time, it were more of a gentle good-bye between furiends.....
Bark ya later, gators......
