Sad News...

 

I recently got some sad news on my

Finnegan. He was having bouts which would last

less than a minute but it seemed

like he was coughing up a fur ball

but there never was one. So I took

him to the vet.  I had a feeling it

would be heart related and sadly

I was right.  He has advanced heart

disease at only 4 yrs. old.  It was

confirmed by an echogram of his heart.

 

 

The vet estimated he may

have 3-6 months.

We are giving him 4 different

meds to keep him comfortable.

At the moment he seems fine.

He occasionally has a breathing

episode, but he other wise

seems fine and doing everything

he normally does.

 

 

I always wanted a Maine Coon cat.

 

 

My friend Connie Galant

sent me an email showing an ad that was up

on the bulleting board at

the hospital she works at

for Maine Coon kittens for sale.

She even gave me the suggestion

of his name Finnegan which I thought

just fit him perfect.

 

 

We had Taz the cat in the back who was a rescue. 

Taz  was terrified of Jake - our large dog.

We took Jake who also was a rescue, when my mother in law died. 

I told my husband if we got a kitten that wasn't afraid of

Jake, Taz would see that  it was ok and stop

living under our bed 24/7.

Which Finn totally did and  now

everyone lives peacefully together.

 

 

 

 

Such a adorable, fearless

handful grew up into

a big beautiful boy...

 

 

such a big part of our family

 

 

those green mischievous eyes 

 

 

 

Helping his brother to see Jake is

just a big teddy bear!

 

 

and keeping Henley company....

 

 

I love him very dearly

 

 

 

I love this gorgeous boy laying with his

big belly all out there for the world to see!

 

 

I can't even imagine a time without his goof ball antics. 

 

 

so for now...

 

 

I will just spoil this big guy!

 

 

and Love and be thankful

that I have him here with me

for the time I do.

 

 

because I know without

any doubt that one day

 

 

My precious boy

will greet me on the other

side when my time on earth

is over.  Knowing this

Comforts me Greatly!
