Today, our cat Puteh died sometime early in the morning. My other half being more attached to the cat was really sad about it. For me, I had a mixture of sadness and sense of relief given that she had suffered a lot. Puteh was diagnosed with kidney failure about two weeks ago after which we bought her an imported medication (which we need to get from Bandar Enstek and if we need more, we need to get it from Singapore).
Before that, we saw her eating less and less with some weight loss but we soon realise that she began to be less active and brought her to the clinic. She became weaker sometime early last week and almost unable to walk. It was only two days ago, she became almost immobile and began to ooze out blood when sleeping. My other half did all the nursing and cleaning her up until last night.
We actually got Puteh sometime end of 2008 from someone else. So she was with us for almost ten years and probably she was three to four years with the original owner. Thus they say if Puteh was human, she would be about 98 years old (multiply by seven, what I was told). So she was pretty old and had lost some teeth beforehand.
Here are some pics when we got her.
Puteh unlike others, is very timid and is not too active. She will often sleep with us in our room and around 6.30 pm would actually go down and wait for my other half to come back from work. Here are more pics when she was healthy.
A more recent picture with the other cats is the following (probably about one or two months back):
These pics are when she began to fall sick:
These are some pics from last night when my other half nursed and cleaned her up:
This video was taken a few nights ago:
It was a coincidence that all my children were back during last weekend, in time to see Puteh before she goes. This is a pic during Saturday's lunch.
This morning, we buried her in our backyard. She will certainly be missed.
