Cats who teach me to fly…

This is how I got his name. Citta was picked up from a disposal site along with his siblings – the same place where Kindle, Galaxy, Twinkle and Sparkle were…. 

It was two weeks ago, on a Sunday, whenI picked the kittens up. Citta was the weakest and smallest among all. I sent them to Star Vet for a general check up before I brought them home. The vet thought that Citta wasn’t looking good. Since all of them were barely two months old and weighed less than one kilogram, revolution was not suitable for them for their fleas and ticks.

They were dewormed and the nurses cleaned their ears. I bathed them. I could not completely wash away their fleas as I still can see many on them and I was even bitten by the fleas badly. 

Taking care of Citta was not easy. He was so weak that he had to fight every breathe to eat. My heart ached so much for him when both wet food and cooked fish were served right in front of him and yet he just couldn’t eat it like any other cats and kittens. He used both of his paws to hold on to the food, as if he was telling me not to take the food away. He was breathing heavily and  weakly but wanted to eat. At that moment, I wish someone could grant his wishes.

I didnt remove the plates. It took Citta quite a while to finally taste the food. How can I give up when he was fighting to eat?

On the fifth day after I brought them home, Citta had his first seizure… At that moment, I thought to myself, that was end of Citta….

After another cluster of seizures on the next day, Citta took more than 12 hours to recover. He finally woke up again. He ate a lot. I told myself, how can I ever give up when he hasn’t? I decided to fight the battle with him. I knew nothing can cure seizures so I fed him supplements that I take everyday. It contains herbs like pearl powder, ginseng, bee pollen etc….  At the same time I also sent him to the cat clinic. Antibiotic was prescribed. 

This is Citta and finally he got to sleep like a cat.

With the antibiotics and the supplement, Citta didn’t seem to have major seizure. However, he was still very weak.

Today, he slept more than usual and I was worried about him.  

I can see that Citta is fighting very hard to stay alive. I will walk with him till the end of time.

I hope Citta will grow strong soon.
