Fly High Popsicle Poppy


Poppy came home today, a little later in the afternoon (27 Dec 2021). The house was quiet. The house has always been quiet but now it was quite empty. Now I have 3 male cats and they seem to disappear into their own separate spaces, without Popps or Akira to bring them together.
Popp's last message to me (via Chris) on 24 December 2021. She had many more that we would share but for now, only this.
"The living is more important than the one that has passed by your life. Focus on them. We will always be around you, watching you."


Poppy had severe anemia and even though  she went through 4 injections of  Aranesp (manmade erythropoietin). Her red blood cells did not increase but rather decreased. Then last Wednesday (22 Dec) she didn't eat and threw up twice. Her vet was full so I brought her to the vet hospital where we found her red blood cell count to be considerably lower and her liver values elevated. She was in respiratory distress early Friday (24 Dec) morning and the cpr did not revive her. She passed in the early hours of that morning.
