Pets

and 1 adopted at a shelter. One of the strays I saw multiple times while on a work trip overseas. He was living in a construction site that I knew was due for a total demolition. On my next trip I brought an empty carrier for him and rounded him up with some friends and this stray was vetted and took a 9 hour trip in the carrier under the aircraft seat in front of me. He was and is so docile its hard to believe he truly survived so many years at the construction site. But that was verified by many people. That was 5 years ago and he must be anywhere from 9-11 and has developed a number of health issues. Epilepsy, a heart defect, UTI and really bad teeth are conditions vets have diagnosed and require follow up. Chico is what I named him and he just really hates cars. Barking dogs or just the sight of a dog panics him. Other than that he is so chill. I give him some supplements and he eats very well.
It really hurts me to see him panic so much to get in the car i just don't know if its worth it to get work done on his teeth which is what one of the vets he has seen has suggested. He stays in my office room when I am gone because of the supplements i give him for epilepsy.
I have another cat who is aggressive and his name is Bunny as well. He is certainly part Maine coon and I feel bad about not being able to brush that long coat of his daily. I travel so much and just can't. When I am home its all I can do to clean litter boxes and refresh all the water bowls and take care of my jobs here at home including things for my outside job. Bunny needs special food for gastro problems probably caused by ingesting so much of his fur while trying to groom himself. He needs his own room because of aggression.
The other 3 are cats with aloof personalities that tolerate each other and can be together in the other rooms.
They are my only company when I am at home.
Over a few years I had to make hard decisions with a couple of other cats including one I had for 19 years as my only cat in a pack of 5 dogs. The dogs slowly and consecutively developed health issues and one by one I had to say good bye to them. The 19 year old cat was the last of the pack. By the time it was the end of her time Chico was here and they were best friends. She had kidney issues and starting losing lots of weight until she quit eating and rehydrating her didn't work because of the complexity with a heart condition. She lost all life force and passed away before the vet could make it to my home. None of this was easy for any of my house companions and I think of the circumstances often and miss them all.
I hope your Bunny can still enjoy some more rebounds and life with you, and it so wonderful you provide so well for this kitty.
