We lost our Mackie, a quirky classic tabby cat, before Christmas. He was about 11 years old and passed from leukemia- he showed no signs or symptoms for a long time, just dropped a little weight over time, but his WBC count was 67,000 when they checked and the cells were definitely abnormal. He passed quickly and was pretty comfortable and happy til the end, and he certainly got plenty of attention.
He had a funny nasal-sounding meow, kind of a "Waaah" sound- he had a ton of personality. He was dumped at the vets where my wife worked in 2009, in a cardboard box- he was the clinic's resident cat for a while, racing around the place chasing tossed toys and crashing into cabinets- and my wife fell for him and took him home, then he came with her when we moved in together. He was kind of a dominant cat, and VERY handsome- and very very affectionate..... we miss him a lot.
2019 was a bad year for our cat friends- we lost too many. God willing Mackie is waiting at RB for us- he's too ornery not to be.....
Play hard at RB Mackie-- send some purrs our way--
