Me and Mr. Peeps!

This is Egg at his peak (around 1994). He was no more than 3 years old in this photo. I nick-named him Mr. Peeps because it took him over a year to learn to talk. Then his voice came out in a pathetic little peep. He eventually learned to yowl from the other kitties. You can tell from his pristine fur that we always kept him inside.

January 2003

Egg had lots of illness after he got to be about 6 years old. He had kidney troubles and urinary tract infections. We got that under control and found he had hyperthyroidism. He was on Tapizol for the last 4 years of his life.

March 2003

Before we knew how sick Egg was, his buddy Kanga had been diagnosed with lymphocytic lymphoma. This may be the last picture I took of my three kitties together.

Egg's Memorial

In April 2003, Egg suddenly got very sick. He was 12 years old. We took him to specialists and found that he had hypertrophic cardiomopathy (an enlarged heart). He was in congestive heart failure when we first took him to the hospital.

We worked with the specialists for about a month. Poor Egg never ate on his own during this time (I syringe fed him for almost 4 weeks). He told me it was his time. We held him in our arms on the day bed in the opposite picture and let him go back to God.

This picture is on his urn. We miss you funny little guy ! We'll see you again some day.
