Fryums came into our lives two weeks ago. He was a loving soul, who really wanted to give and share love. In his four months of life, two weeks with us, he gave us profound joy He loved exploring our house, basking in the sunlight, freaking us out by walking on balcony rails without a safety net, staring our open aquarium and most importantly, sleeping on top of our laptops - lid open was preferred.
When separated from his sister, he would meow like there is no tomorrow. When we let him in the same room as hers, he would see and then go on as if everything is normal in life again. He would not eat his food unless his sister, Puchka, is eating and would like to have the food from the same bowl. His favorite sleeping spot was our bed's drawer. He was not a big foodie but loved the square shaped Whiskas dry food crunchie.
On his fifth day home, we saw an increased breathing rate and took him to a vet. Upon X-ray, water was found in his lungs. He cried and did not let the docs do an echo. We gave him meds and his condition stabilized but after 4 days it deteriorated again. He was placed in an incubator and upon an echo, it was found that he had an enlarged heart. He was put on life long medicine course. We were giving him regular meds, finding creative ways to hide in his food, getting adept in giving syringe based antibiotics. On Friday, his breathing became very heavy again, he did not had any food on Friday night. We woke up at 4 am on Sat morning to try once again but he refused. We were planning to take him to hospital once things opened up but by 7:30 am, he collapsed and left us with an unimaginable grief that we did not knew that it was in us.
He is missed.
His sister is still looking for him.
