An Update from Milita

Lita lays on my cat pajamas on my bed.
Hi everyone, it's me, Lita, today.  I thought you might like to hear from me personally since it's been a while.

Thank you all so much for supporting me.  Thank you for your donations, purrs, prayers, love, hugs, and headbonks for me.  Thank you for supporting the Mom and Carmine, too.  Me being so ill has been incredibly hard on the Mom, and she has leaky eyes a lot lately.  

If you haven't donated to my end-of-life expenses and want to, you can do so HERE.  You are welcome to share my fundraiser with others, too, if you like.  We appreciate the support so much!  All funds raised will go to making me comfortable and to my end-of-life expenses.  

Now for an update on how I'm doing.


I had a few good days last week.  I was social, and I ate some.  The past couple of days have been rough, though.  I am still eating some, but I am not feeling very well.  I hide in the condo on the cat tree a lot.  

The other day, I even chose to lay by the orange one - I only do that when I feel really bad.  I guess the orange one can be comforting when I really don't feel well, but don't tell him that or he'll harass me even more than he already does when I don't want him in my space.

The Mom finds it a struggle to get me to eat, so I get to eat anything I want!  She feeds me a/d, canned foods with lots of gravy, turkey, chicken....even KITTEN CHOW!!!  The Mom says it is more important that I eat than for me to eat the "right" stuff.  

Carmine and Lita with an empty plate. It had Kitten Chow on it.

Carmine is benefiting from my lack of appetite.  He gets very upset if the Mom gives me Kitten Chow, and he doesn't get any.  He gets so wound up that he will shove me out of the way and eat MY kibble!  So the Mom has to give him his own little pile so he'll let me eat as much as I want in peace.

Even though I am not all that hungry anymore, I am still not ready to go yet.  You kitties know that I will tell the Mom when I am ready to make my journey.  The Mom is pretty in tune with me and Carmine, but she had a couple of friends come and visit me to make sure that she isn't missing anything.  She knows they would tell her if they thought I was ready to go, but they say that I am not ready to go.  

I get tired easily these days, so I am going to rest now.  Thank you for all of the wonderful support you have given us in this difficult time.

  8. I am sending lots of love to you Lita, and to your mom too. The up and down days are so hard. When Flynn was feeling really bad I got my big fluffy dressing gown and made it into a nest on the bed. He could smell me on it and it seemed to comfort him. Maybe your mum could do something similar to see if it gives you comfort.
