The Tuxedo Collection

Since 2013, its our New Year resolution to make each day a memorable and thankful one.
Kitty really works hard to "Gulu Gulu", eats and hands in her homework (we-we and poo-poo) well.
 We are truly joyous and grateful !!

We're fortunate this year, hope we can do this again.....


 
 
Last year when we celebrated Kitty’s 17th Birthday, we were afraid that it could be the last one. Thank God, we made it through 2012. It sure was a rough and tough year. Kitty’s kidney condition was largely stable, as she is a good girl, and accepts renal food. However, her health condition had weakened, partly due to ageing. She is often being confronted with mouth ulcers, ruining her appetite and those “breast lumps” are recurring at a faster pace because of her weak defense system.

This year, we took the chance and continue to celebrate her birthday with KFC, her favorite food, but as you could see, it’s Goldie who seems to be enjoying it more. Unfortunately after the recent operation in last October, we found another breast lump. Lately, the vet’s advice had totally changed. He is against surgery, on the consideration of Kitty’s age and the high risk of recurrence. Unfortunately, we have that thought too, though I would still keep an open mind on the issue. My heartaches and …. What a useless me!!

The clock is ticking against us. In the meantime, we would concentrate on keeping her kidney condition stable and take her for regular acupuncture for which she enjoys. We would try our best to lead a normal life with the hope that Kitty could continue to enjoy her time with us in a peaceful, warm, loving, happy and relaxed way…… Take care my girl, please do not give up, but if you are really tired, do let us know. We sure would treasure the moments together, and give it our very best effort to make it a painless and memorable one…. May the Lord guide us, guard us and lead us through the time ahead…

A rough, tough & exhausted October...... but the tough gets going...!!!



October had been a very tiring month for us all. Kitty though had made good progress in her mobility via acupuncture; one of her breast lump had grown faster as well. She had lost 0.2 kg to 2.8kg, which was a worry to the vet. So we decided to do the following:

-   On 19/10 she was admitted for blood test. Result showed that her kidney condition was stable – she suffered from kidney degeneration due to ageing, but the condition was acceptable for operation. She was put on drips for one day.

-   On 20/10, her chest X-ray showed that it was clear, which meant the cancer had not spread to the lungs. So she could have the 2 breast lumps removed. The ultrasound in the abdomen found nothing, which meant there was no suspected mass.

-   Overall, though we were heartbroken that she had her second operation this year (last one in 1/12), that Saturday seemed a long and scary day, as the wait was painful, worrying and panicky, but we were truly relieved when told of the above results. It was actually the best scenario for us!

-   We agreed not to send the tissues for lab test, as both the vet and us were pretty certain in our mind that it would be cancerous.

-   This time, it took Kitty a bit longer to recover, but she did it.


- What more could we ask for! Since we have been given more time together, we will surely treasure each moment, living life together, hopefully in a peaceful, relaxing and painless way!
 

Ooops.... Plse don't forget about our other child Goldie -- such an adorable kid!!
