This is the part of pet ownership that I HATE. You listen to me, Sweety--you did everything you could for that little guy. He had the deck stacked against him from the get go, but you took him into your home and your heart and you loved him. You held him and kissed him and made him know what if felt like to be comforted and snuggled. You worried about him, tended to his every need and we all know you would've done ANYTHING you could to make him better--but that wasn't to be. I am so horribly sorry for your loss. I know all too well how much it hurts to lose a kitten you dearly love, but Diesel isn't in pain any more--he is probably sitting on the lap of some angel--telling him what a great mama he had here--and that a love like yours should never be wasted--and to send you another baby to love when you are ready. Diesel was loved--and he knew it. And that is everything.
Wishing I could put my arms around you and hold you tight and let you cry....please know we would all do that if it were possible--but please feel the love we're sending you and know we're here when you need us.
Hugs,
Susi

I am so very sorry for your loss, but I know you were a good mom to your little boy. And I know that in his short life, little Diesel knew what it was to be cared for and loved. In the end, that is what matters..that he knew love. Rest in Peace Diesel.

Rest In Peace Diesel -full story here, also any artists on here?

Hi everyone, thank you all for your kind messages and support..
The crying has stopped but i still feel so low..
so anyways, heres the story of what happened my angel..

As you all know i was worried about his weight loss and constant sleeping, and posted on here for advice, you were all so helpful and i decided to bring him to the vet, this was late Saturday night though and vets would not be open until Monday..
That night he was acting weird, actually sleeping in his own bed, i woke up in the middle of the night and he was beside me, i fell asleep and woke again to find him gone, i couldnt find him anywhere and i looked around and finally found him laying on a blanket on the other side of the room so i wrapped him up and kissed him.. i woke up in the morning and he was back in his bed, i went to pet him and he was stone cold.. i was worried so took him in beside me to warm up, a few hours went by and he wasnt warming up so i got hot water bottles and more blankets, nothing worked so i ran to family members, we called the emergency vet and she assured me he'd be okay but asked did i want to pay the high rate and see her anyways, i was worried about my baby so i agreed. When i brought him to the vets, the vet herself was so shocked by how different he looked, he was very skinny and there was fluid in his belly area.. the vet couldnt get over how failed he became, she said she wouldnt of recognize him he was so bad..
She took his temperature, he didnt even flinch when she put the thermometer up his back passage, his temperature was down to 37 degrees Celsius, the vets face told it all.. She said his temperture was so low it was organ failure point. I broke down, my baby was so weak and it killed me to hear the next thing the vet said, she told me that he was dying, my world came crashing down ;/ I got in contact with the breeder and let the vet talk to her, i was too upset to talk. The vet thinks it could be one of a few reasons 1)under-developed organs 2)genetically liver/kidney problem 3)the fall as a tiny baby could of left internal damage 4) FIP (alothough the vet thinks he was very young to get it, and the breeder assures that he cats get tested regularly)
I spent time with him before i handed him over to the vet to end his suffering.. As i held him i repeatedly told him how much i loved him and how much my boyfriend loved him.. He was in so much pain.. he couldnt even walk, she said he was slowly dying and his organs were all failing.. it would of only been a few hours and he would of died in so much pain.. as i held him alone to say goodbye, i just repeated 'i love you so much', and he whimpered.. When i had to hand him over to the vet, he clung to my shoulder..
Im getting him cremated and his ashes are going to be put into a special urn, craved from wood in the shape of a cat sleeping, cause thats what i remember him by, my sleeping cat..
The breeder is upset also, as she loved him too.. Shes offered me a refund or another sphynx.. Shes been so supportive about it all, she thinks it could have been liver damage as he had so much medication in his body since he was a baby, or if it was FIP, it developed after his surgery as his body couldn't handle the stress..

Im also going to get a tattoo of his little paw print onto my neck in remembrance of the imprint hes left on my heart...im just having a problem as my pictures of him dont show a full photo of his paw print ;/ any advice, also if any artists could look on my album of him on my profile and maybe be able to sketch up a pictures of an outline of him paw print, would really help

I am sooo sorry.... *crying at work*
I can't even imagine the pain you are feeling... He had a wonderful life with all the love that you, your bf, the breeder and anyone that ever met him gave him.
My heart goes out to you and your family.

Me, Mosey and Ella are sending you hugs and warm thoughts....
