*UPDATE*
Drabek passed away 6-10-03.
Charlie was in the nursery
for a week when he passed away on Sunday, but Drabek immediately latched
onto him. They were inseparable and even though I knew Charlie was not
well, you could not physically keep Drabek away from him. On Sunday morning
at 4 am when Charlie became very ill, it was little Drabek, or as I liked
to call him, Itty Bitty Micro Kitty, that climbed out of the baby bed,
crossed the house, came to me and woke me to tell me something was wrong
with his friend. The silent kitten even let out a nice loud meow. I ran
to Charlie and started work with Drabek sitting beside me watching intensely.
When I left to go to the vet, it was Drabek that jumped into the kitten
carrier to go along too. And, once at Briarcliff Animal Clinic, Drabek
had a little fit at the front counter when they tried to take Charlie
back to work on him and leave Drabek behind. Amazed, they took Drabek
also. Unless you saw it, you could not explain it. I can tell you I knew
on Sunday that my healthy happy kitten would probably leave me. They would
be a pair God would have to adopt together. And, He did. Drabek died yesterday.
He and his best buddy are now back to playing chase and climbing towers
and enjoying the best cat meals available. Some kittens you just can't
separate. I am happy that they are happy and thankful, once again, that
they were loved.
