I brought Deds home last October. He was losing weight and kept vomiting. I can’t bear to see him falling ill on the street. So, I brought him home one afternoon. It took me quite some time to find him. But I didn’t give up.
A complete blood count was done and it showed that Deds was perfectly healthy and we didnt know what causes him to keep vomiting.
ARVC extracted his teeth and Deds ate with confidence and put on weight, however, a month later, Deds began to vomit again. Deds was a FIV carrier. The last time I got him tested and his red blood count was low.
Somehow, I regretted not spending time with him when I brought him home until I realised that his conditions got worsen and it didn’t seem to improve and I began to worry…
This was taken in 2016. It has been more than five years that we had been feeding him…
Above was taken in 2015 and it is my favourite. I love the way he laid down.
I miss him more when I am doing my feeding at Hougang.
On those early days when I was feeding him in 2014, there was a kitten that was less than six month old and we named him Baby. Deds would bring Baby to us and we would prepare meal and serve them. Deds would give his meal to Baby and stand aside. We saw Deds intention and we prepared another portion for Deds. We were actually expecting Deds to share the food with Baby but he did not. Instead, he let Baby have his food. I can never forget his generosity towards Baby. Not many humans can or will do that. And his action stays in my heart forever…
How I wish Deds could stay a little longer with me…
Cats who teach me to fly...
