Clementine was the little kitten of a few weeks old whom I found back in Aug 02. She got along well my other cats & they loved her too. A very smart cat, the only cat who didn't fail to respond with her own "meow" & come running to us whenever we call her name. My dearest most beloved cat Clementine passed away peacefully at 3.45am on 15th Dec 04 after battling through with 3 months of cancer. We were not aware that she was suffering from cancer until on the 24th Oct when we brought her to the vet after noticing a huge bulge on her tummy. She went through a surgery on the 25th Oct & dr confirmed that she was suffering from cancer. 2 huge tumours as big as apples were removed her ovary & spleen. Unfortunately it has spread to her kidneys & stomach walls. Dr advised us that she could probably make it 2 or 4 mths max. Chemo was not advised coz we couldn't do anything much as the virus had already spread to her organs. On the very next day, she recovered, ate well & discharged - played with friends at home! 15th Nov, we noticed that her legs shivered - we thought that she was cold, but on the next day, her legs grew weaker. She was limping & paralysed on the next day. She was admitted to medical centre for 4 days but there was no improvements at all , dr suspected that virus might have hit her nerve system. He suggested to put her down; we were against that, we believe let God take her away when the time comes & nurse her the best we can when she is still alive. She was bedridden & couldn't walk.  She had to use her front legs & drag her hind legs - tumours grew rapidly. Despite that, she was still eating well, that gave her the energy to move on, even though her bottom was rotting & she could no longer control her bladder, kidneys weren’t functioning. We showered her lower part everyday to keep her clean. Even though she was helpless, she still had the will to sometimes push to move! Her condition deteriorated eversince & could not eat since the 5th Dec. I force feed her 2 times a day to keep her going. The virus was just eating her up, she grew thin to the bones. We gave her all the attention & love, I placed her in her cushion crib next to me on my bed. She looked very helpless & I could sense that she couldn't make it any longer, the ever strong Clementine I had by just looking into her eyes was painfully weak. I was relieved that I spent the whole evening with her on my bed, & I told her that if she could not take the pain, then please go. I couldn't bear to see her suffer. I told her everyday that I love her very much & she was the bestest cat, very proud to have a strong & courageous cat like her & enjoyed every moment I had with her, & never regretted the day when I picked her up 2 years ago; she seemed to understand & looked into my eyes. Before I went to bed, I did my normal routine to clean her up with hot towel & apply antiseptic power on her body, changed her underpad linings on her crib & she was all clean before we turned into bed. The last words I said was "Good night Clementine, sleep well, sweet dreams & take care. I love you very much" kissed her & she looked into my eyes for a long time before I slept. I couldn't sleep well & woke up several times. At around 3+am I saw Donny, one of her best pals was inside her crib & licking her. I was surprised coz Donny had never slept in my room - so I just let him be & give his love to her. At 4am, I woke up again & took a look at her - she was not moving any longer. My parents and I all cried... She looked peaceful like she was asleep. We buried her infront of our flat. I have lost my bestest cat & very proud of her for battling through the deadly illness with such determination. She had never complained or meowed - NEVER. May she rest in peace in heaven. God bless her.
