Oof, I hope they don't get the fleas. Flea outbreaks are terrible to try to deal with.

She didn't make it.
The flea infestation was too bad for too long. They said this wasn't just a 4 day thing from the last owners, she'd most likely had fleas her entire life. She just lost too much blood, became too anemic, and her organs shut down. I got her to the vet maybe 10 minutes before she died naturally in my arms.
At least I was able to find out a little about her - She was born May 22, and her mom was the Bengal, and her dad the Maine Coon.
I'm having a really hard time right now because she didn't even have a name. I don't have anything to refer to her as while I mourn her. She died literally as "Kitty Doe" on the paperwork (a play on a few years ago before we could settle on a name for Ravenpaw, so we took him to the vet for his kitten checkup as "Cat Doe"). I never even got a decent picture of her.
She's buried now in my flower bed. I plan to plant a rose bush on top of her next spring when they come back in season.

I ended up crying for about an hour straight at work last night over her, and I feel kinda silly doing so, because I only had her one day. There was a bright side though - yesterday morning, my husband got off work early, and I joked he should bring her up to my work when I got off at 7 to meet my relief (another cat lover). I didn't really expect him to do it, but he did, and that girl took pictures of her. She already looks weak in the pictures, but the bottom line is, I HAVE PICTURES OF HER. This along with her namelessness were the 2 things I had the hardest time with. At least one of those worries is at ease now.

That's so heartbreaking... Since you mentioned the rosebush, how about naming her Rosie?

Post by Turin not Torino on Jul 18, 2020 0:53:08 GMT -5
I'm hesitant to name her something postmortem, since it's not going to be something she was called while she was here. When I put together her tiny little picture folder, I labeled all of the pictures "KD" for Kitty Doe, so I think that might be the closest thing I'll get to a name.

Post by Leapkit on Jul 18, 2020 2:52:38 GMT -5
KD could also sound like Katie. Random additional fact one of the first anthro/furry cat characters I drew was in like 5th grade and I named her Katie Kitty. But I guess I understand. I just thought maybe a name would be able to give you some closure on the other part that's been bothering you.

Midnite's middle name was "Katy", I forget if it was after the city in Texas or something at King's Island though. If I were to name her postmortem, I considered "Rosebud", which is close to your suggestion but a little weirder, but I still don't like the idea of naming her after death. I'm still considering "Sea" as in the DM I sent, if I can disconnect that and it's origin in my mind.

Rosebud reminds me of Citizen Kane which is probaly way darker.

Post by Turin not Torino on Jul 18, 2020 12:01:18 GMT -5
Yeah, I thought of that too, though I've never seen the movie so maybe I don't know how dark of a name that really is. All I know is WHAT Rosebud was.

messy hair don't care went to go kayaking yesterday. was so excited all day. ive been asking for a kayak since christmas. finally get one. been so excited for it to come in, get to the lake, have a panic attack, scream at my dad to turn around, start crying and go home, spend the rest of the day just kind of staring and unfeeling. i really thought i was getting better made me feel absolutely terrible. i haven't felt that way in such a long time. but i realize now its just because i haven't been in a situation which would make me feel that way in legit a year and a half so ya, of course I'm not gonna feel that way....if i never leave the house, i avoid feeling that way and me thinking it'll be ok...and then its not. and its just a reminder of how i literally cant do anything i want bc /this/ is always what happens i just...really thought i was better. i don't want to feel that way.

Sour Candy Sleep is important. The character will still be there after you sleep. pumpkin pie Yeah, the world is a little bit duller now without her, I mean I have so few memories, but I do remember that she charmed literally everyone she met in the short time I had her. Her official name is "Sea", or as my husband calls her, "Lady Sea" (you really don't want to know how this ended up being her name, but I had so few options of names she was actually called). I'm sorry about the kayaking trip - maybe take baby steps easing back into the outside world? Your hair doesn't look messy as much as it looks curly. I also really think the pair of glasses I had before my current ones are the same ones you have on in the pic.

Because we stayed relatively nearby on a short trip (just out of the city) instead of leaving the country entirely like we'd had planned before the whole coronavirus chaos erupted ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

My husband bought a fake flower for Sea's grave today until I can plant real ones (all on his own, not prompted by me in any way) She charmed him way more than I thought - I think her death hit him almost as hard as me (maybe even more, since he has mentioned several times that he didn't even get to say goodbye) We miss that little kitten.
