After taking Magic to the vet to have him examined due to the pet food recall we learned that our dear kitty has severe kidney failure. The Vet said it had nothing to do with the food recall and everything to do with his very old age. To explain it in laymen terms the Vet basically told me that kitty has lost in equivalent to one kidney and half of the other and has given kitty 2 weeks to 1 year. I think I posted kitty being 16 years old the other day and I stand corrected, little Magic is 17 years of age.

That was such a huge blow for me as our kitty has seemed to be in the best of health and I basically stood there in shock. After bringing kitty home I called Bobby and relayed to him kitty’s condition. It was really hard for me and Bobby took it really hard too. Dear Magic has been with Bobby the last 17 years and has been such a dear and special pal.

When Bobby came in from work tonight, we just stood there and hugged and cried and found it very difficult to allow the thought of losing kitty in our minds. We have him on special food and that is all we can do for him. Kitty is getting the royal treatment around here with lots more hugs, lots more affection and a whole lotta’ lovin’.
