ONE
OF MY SADDEST DAYS OF MY LIFE I am so devastated that International Champion D-Shiva’s Lacota Warpaint is dead. I
cannot believe that such a kind, gentle and loving Stud boy, who
lived in my bedroom and slept with me at night, he was so wonderful
and finally I thought I had filled the great void in my life after
losing my wonderful Grand Champion Sharue Sun Prince over 4 years
ago. Before no one could ever take my Sunny’s place, sadly for me Lacota did. Lacota
came into my life only 2 months ago. I
am so relieved that I did not let him mix with my cats, and he was
isolated in my bedroom with me, he was my bedmate and my lover, now
he is gone. I
had noticed he was losing weight, had him checked by my vet, and
tests were negative for all including, FeLV and FIV, however his
condition worsened and I noticed his breathing was becoming laboured
so again returned him to my vet for more tests. Whilst
awaiting the results my man was struggling and I am still shocked
that he is gone now, the diagnosis was Thymic Lymphsarcoma, also a
small lesion on his liver. Thymic
Lymphasarcoma is a tumour, which generally affects young cats up to
two years of age. The tumour grows in the thymus, an organ in the
chest in front of the heart. As it grows, it causes fluid to
accumulate, which gradually fills the chest, pressing on the lungs
and causing the cat difficulty in breathing. Often the difficulty in
breathing is sudden in onset: in cats difficulty breathing is
manifest by the cat showing rapid breathing or breathing through the
mouth. The tumour can usually be seen on X-ray. Over 90% of cats
with Thymic Lymphasarcoma are FeLV positive. Tests
were negative for all including, FeLV and FIV I
am at present awaiting the rest of the Post Mortem results, GOD BLESS HIM, HE WAS TOO GOOD FOR THIS ROTTEN WORLD, he is now with his maker and my wonderful Sun Prince, one day I will be with them both again, in the meantime I pray this does not happen to anyone else, life is so unfair……

My
darling Lacota
I
cannot believe you have left me, you tried so hard to hold on, you did
not want to let go, we both tried so hard to fight and survive, my
darling, you were my man, my bedmate who loved and cuddled into me at
night, you were so special to me and I to you
You
did not want to leave me, nor I you, the vet said your day’s were
numbered, but we struggled on regardless my darling boy, only when we
both knew, did I allow them to take your life, I could not see you
suffer my baby, I am so distraught, so destroyed and so lost without you.
Only
you took the place of my wonderful Sun Prince who I loved and have
missed for so many years, how unfair was it for you to find me and me to
find you,
God Bless you.
I
can NEVER replace Sunny, and I can not EVER replace you my dear four
legged friend, our love was too short, bit it is forever.
GOD
BLESS YOU MY LITTLE FRIEND, WE WILL ALL MEET AGAIN.
With
all my love and so much sadness,
From
a cold and empty bed - Sylvia x
