Cat mummy impression.
How serene...
The swirled paisley dead.
Sleeping with eyes open is one more point in creepiness...
Showing fangs adds another point!
Baring nipples...all eight of them!
Looks like a passive Thriller dance lol!
Not exactly like the dead, but you've got to be fairly far gone to not notice your butt hanging an inch off the floor...
pfft.
Pptbbbbbt!
Tppff.When my brother found Sephy dead he called me to ask me what to do. I told him to put her in a small box for the meantime, so we can bury her when I get back. Well he found a little white box on my table (that used to hold my dad's Hash mug) and that's her tiny coffin. I wrapped the box in a pink plastic bag. Now going shopping at Hua Ho I see tons of these little boxes with cups inside and I'm reminded of her :(
The house feels a little emptier, but Tuffie is more relaxed now. She never got used to Sephy's scent, or maybe Cleo was all she could handle. Anyways Tuffie is energetic and playful today -_- which is good 'cause she is getting her chubb back.
Sephy has taught me to live more, life is short and anything can happen. She had only 4 weeks of life, but I'm glad she spent her last 2 weeks with me. I miss holding her next to my heart. I never regretted bringing her into my life, even knowing that she was too young and might not make it. She was a tenacious little kitten.
Sephy's death also reminded me that Abbie had been gone for almost a year now. Time flies. So live your life to the fullest that you can.
I'm working on a sketch for Sephy. It'll have tiny pandas crawling all over it, to reference her colour :)
Sephy was very lethargic on Sunday, she couldn't stand much and preferred to slump on the floor. The signs were not good and I rushed her to Anicare at 12 noon. The vet had bad news, Sephy was undernourished and has worms and the flu. The main sign was when she tried to meow and no sound would come out, indicating a sore throat with ulcers. She was given a jab (the needle was huge for that tiny body!) some deworm, amoxicillin and the prognosis that she will probably not make it.
Which came as a shock as she was all chipper and was doing well with the bottle. But she was so tiny and weak that any disease that strikes would be devastating to her developing system. We brought her home and tried the best we could with medications and force-feeding her, as she was too upset to eat.
Sephy got progressively skinnier and we could feel the bones right under her skin. I didn't think she would make it through the night bit she did, and managed to get rid of a HUGE white roundworm. I was a bit more positive with this, but while at work today my brother called at 9:45am to tell me Sephy has moved on.
It was heartbreaking as I had really hoped she would beat the odds and make it, but I guess she was just too young, and the loss of a mother added another stress upon her. Plus the worm and the flu was just too much for her to handle. We buried her out back, beside the house of my landlord, who kindly dug the grave for us. R.I.P. Sephy, you were only 4 weeks old and had to endure such suffering. :(
Still so minuscule...
Side shot of the stumpy kitten.
Her expressions range from wide-eyed bewilderment to curious bewilderment. :P
She was only 4x5 tiles big!
Goggle-eyes
Closeup! I needed macro for this.
She had started to look better...
Those were a great 2 weeks, moving and warming up kitten formula the whole day, bottle feeding her, and cleaning up the mess afterwards.Sephy was whiny, so we let her out to wander about. We found her flopped out later on the bathmat...
Awww...
AWWWW....
*Head asplode from teh cute!*
She's like a tiny mouse.
*headsplosion no.2*
Cleo decided she wanted the attention and booted Sephy...On the day that I found Sephy I was about to move house the very next day...it was quite stressful as Tuffie wasn't feeling the love (I was busy packing and cleaning) and then there was a new kitten to contend with...
In the weeks leading up to the BIG MOVE she was already leting her feelings show.
Her sunning spots have all been taken over by boxes...
I turned my room upside down and went to get a breather. When I can back there was a cat in the very center of the chaos.
'The Look'. Reserved for late meals and the human's inattentiveness to her needs.
Awww, but all she wanted was a little love and attention!
New home! Shiny surfaces...
Tuffie got a good niche next to my bed ;)
Getting used to the new place...blobbing out.
Cleo couldn't care less about the new home, didn't affect her much :)
