Scootz
June 14, 1986 to July 23, 2003
Scootz was the largest of the kittens but she was the quietest of all of them. Tim, Scootz and Gidget barely tolerated each other but Squeek seemed to get along with everyone.
Well, it is the end of July, 2003 and I just brought home Scootz's ashes. It was a hard decision but she hated the fluids and was starting to fight it every day. Her kidneys had totally shut down and with a lot of fluids going into her little body she was expelling them pretty fast. I felt that her tissues weren't absorbing the fluids and she was dehydrating within 18 hours. As much as I hated to lose her I couldn't let her suffer either.
