(louder than everyone else) HIII

IT'S HERE!!!

friends hosted a Celebration of Life for us last night, everyone brought us food and we had a toast and read poetry as a eulogy ❤️

It's my partner's birthday today - I wish the week prior had been kinder to him. Walked around our local nature conservation center and took him out to our special date night spot. ❤️

Brought the baby girl home today. Her given name was Kiko, "joyful child." My partner was still workshopping a possible rename as we got to know her better. Maybe Joan? Wynnie? She was so sweet and playful, and we loved her so much in such a short amount of time. ❤️

went out and got some plants 🌿

besties have been bringing us food and flowers 😭❤️

I'm gonna miss them forever ❤️

💔💔💔 what a year

Thank you to everyone for the well wishes. Hug and kiss your babies for me! ❤️❤️❤️

He passed away a few minutes ago. ❤️

Marius update: he's doing well with the feeding tube "meals" but is not showing much/any improvement. He's comfortable and getting plenty of rest right now. We got him some flowers and Greta's old blanket. ❤️

❤️❤️❤️

Prognosis is still not good, but he's home and as comfortable as can be. They saw some fluid in his belly on ultrasound and have him on the baby girl's leftover FIP medication just in case. Only time will tell now. ❤️

Had success last night and this morning feeding him with the tube without him barfing! He's back at the vet for another round of IV fluids and then we start increasing the food intake at home. ❤️❤️❤️

my poor jaundiced intubated son 🥲

Day 2 of Hell, let's hear it for Day 2 👏 dropped the old man off at the vet for more fluids and possibly a tube down his throat

old man is home for the night, hoping he'll eat on his own but nothing so far. back to the vet tomorrow to figure out next steps

definitely a bit annoyed that they treat one cat for FIP, which is a covid mutation, but when I ask if my other cat's decline in health, which happened at the exact same time, could be connected to covid, they're like "well, we can't know for sure, it could be a lot of things"

Marius is on IV fluids right now, but still not eating. He got an appetite stimulant and we're hoping he'll eat on his own, but he dropped 2 pounds since his dental issues and his liver is struggling. If he doesn't eat on his own, we can make the hard call or get him a tube.

both of my old pets AND the new baby all dying, what kind of year is this jfc

also Marius has liver failure from the weight drop after his dental issues, they're seeing what they can do in-house but vet says it's doesn't look good

I am very sad to report that the baby girl passed away in her sleep during the night. 💔

Took baby girl to the vet after seeing some abnormal bloating & loss of appetite, & unfortunately she is now being treated for "wet" FIP, a mutation of feline covid. Thankfully it's no longer a death sentence, and we're getting her started on treatment ASAP. This poor baby! 😭💔

it's them ❤️

we hosted a potluck and my friend brought this wine for me 🥹

baby's first bath, and my battle wounds

she's discovered the joys of using him as a pillow (he allows it)

❤️❤️❤️

we have achieved snuggling ‼️‼️‼️

the old man is swollen and CRUSTY and the baby thinks he smells funny

angry man who's getting teeth pulled and costing me 3k

despite his dental pain causing him some distress, they've both been doing great getting to know each other!!

Marius hasn't been doing too well these last few days bc of an absessed tooth, we have the extraction due on Friday but he's been hiding and not eating or drinking, but he's been on meds for a couple days now and finally came back out to eat and curl up in my lap 😭❤️

got to yell at a customer

curly whiskers growing from the scar tissue

today's the first day where both of us are at work all day 😭💔

the rescue vet just sent me photos and videos of the baby from her burn recovery "she has definitely used up all nine of her lives plus some" 😭😭😭

Partner reports from home that she has finally emerged from under the bed!!

he knows we're up to something

SLEEPY

my partner finally got to meet the girl in-person! and got a customized coffee 🥰
