I'm so sorry to hear this. I sure hope that you'll be able to have more time with him than you think. Lots of prayers and positive thoughts are being sent his way.

Prayers on the way that he defy the odds!
I've Been Frosted
You and Franklin are in my thoughts and prayers.
Proud to be a crazy cat lady!
Franklin's appointment with the cardiologist is June 20. He will have an echocardiogram (ultrasound of the heart) so I should know more after that.
Thank you all for your prayers and support...we need them...

Well, Franklin has been diagnosed with mild to moderate cardiomyopathy. That's the bad news. The good news is, the vet thinks that with medication to lower his heart rate, he has a good chance of surviving longer. The other good news is, the part of the heart that can cause blood clots when abnormal is perfectly fine. So no blood thinners needed. She was really happy to see a kitty with this condition in the very early stages. If it wasn't for his littermate Norah passing away so suddenly, (which made me take Franklin to the vet ASAP) his condition would probably have gone unnoticed until it was too late. And although I was shocked and deeply saddened by the loss of Norah, I can't help being just a bit grateful since her passing gives Franklin a better shot at a longer life. I hope that doesn't make me sound heartless....

You don't sound selfish at all. Thank goodness Franklin can be with you for some time yet!

Prayers and love for Franklin and you, Diane, and good news and wishes that Franklin will be around for a long while yet. This is Norah's gift to you.
I meant," said Ipslore bitterly, "what is there in this world that truly makes living worthwhile?"
Death thought about it.
CATS, he said eventually. CATS ARE NICE.
