Late in August, Miko began having decreased appetite and was losing weight. A blood test in September confirmed that she had kidney disease. Unfortunately, she was not eating the prescription diet, so a couple appetite stimulants were tried. Both worked moderately at first, but with both, the effects dropped off after a few days. The only thing she was getting was annoyed by the treatments.
Various other foods were tried to get her eating, but while she showed some interest, she still ate almost nothing. She continued to decline, and on Friday, she became unable to walk without falling over. Today, she had her final visit to the vet.
She will be remembered as an affectionate cat who loved meeting new people, a daring and fearless (and sometimes a bit reckless) girl who seemed to delight in showing that the house was not as cat-proof as Catman thought. She seemed to know when she should do something humorous to lighten the mood. Although her time with the Cat family was too brief, she left a lot of happy memories behind.
She was one of a kind.
