The
second cat who came to us from VA in January 2005 was ORACLE, an orange
tiger male with exceptionally blue, unsighted eyes. He was only a year
old and a delightful, but shy cat. We quickly won him over with
patient, quiet, loving and he became an absolute delight. He got along
well with all the cats and had the fun and zest of a young cat. One
day in March, when I was giving the morning treats, I noticed that Oracle
had not come for breakfast. I went out to the courtyard to find him
dead under the cement bench. I should have had an autopsy done, but didn’t
realize how inexpensive they can be. The vet has suggested that Oracle
could have had cardiac problems, heartworm, which takes cats
suddenly, with no warning, or he could have died of anaphylactic shock after
a
bite. I wish we had had
Oracle longer as he was such a sweetheart. |
