Cats who teach me to fly…

I want to take a little time out to talk about Lady… Lady was diagnosed with FIP positive on 29 last month. There were fluids in her lungs. It is either that I just leave her till the end of her time or remove the fluids and buy her some time. Lady was eating well and didn’t seem to lose much weight and it was hard for me to just wait for things to happen. So I decided to remove the fluids.

2 days later, Lady had her fluids removed at VES. The most expensive clinic in Singapore. If you are looking for a vet who understand rescuers or have a compassionate heart, you will not find any here. FIP! No cure and you and your cat may leave. This is reality and so be it.

My black Lady.

I moved her from Sembawang to where I am staying now so that I can spend more time with her.

I am hoping to leave an imprint in her mind by reciting sutras and chanting the mantras to her. That’s my purpose of buying her more time. Even if it means for only a few days…

5 days ago, I found her breathing hard again and I though it must be the fluid in her lungs again. My friend recommended ARVC which I was quite reluctant to visit them again. But where else can I go… Everything in ARVC has changed. The vets and nurses. The only faces that I am familiar with is Dr Ly and Dr Sabine.

This time round, the ultra-sound showed that 45% of Lady’s lungs has collapsed. And there were only very little fluid.

However terrible it may sound, Dr Eunice did not give up treating her. We decided to give her injectable interferon which is very expensive. Hoping to buy her more time… Lady doesn’t look like a sick cat at all..

Today, Lady seems to be breathing heavily again.

And this is how she is sleeping right now.

I hope she can hang on for another 2 more days for me to decide whether that is the fluid that is accumulating in her lungs or…

Macoron’s only friend is Lady. It is too late to separate them. I want both to be together.

I wish I have super power…

A recitation of the heart sutra and chanting of the medicine buddha mantra for Lady tonight.

May this be the cause for Lady to meet the three Jewels, practise the authentic Dharma, to meet good and wise teachers and be enlightened like Buddhas and Bodhisattvas.

…..in the same way, feeling, discrimination, compositional factors and consciousness are empty of inherent nature…
