I don’t think a photo could capture Atom’s personality better than this. He is the silliest, most lovable boy who steals everyone’s heart.

Atom was diagnosed with FIP back in November. He became deathly ill and worried us that he would not survive. Thanks to advances in modern medicine, our veterinarian and FIP Warriors, Atom has made a full recovery. FIP doesn’t have to be a death sentence any longer. We feel extremely blessed this guy is in our lives.

There is something magical about quiet Saturday mornings. Now, if he’d only let me read my book.
Happy Caturday

It is with the heaviest of hearts that I share this devastating news with you. Our sweet Atlas passed away suddenly and unexpectedly last Saturday. She developed labored breathing, and despite our best efforts, we lost her on the way to the vet.

Not knowing how she died, our fears for the other cats led us to have a necropsy performed. The results revealed that Atlas died from hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), a genetic heart condition. This diagnosis was all the more shocking given her clean bill of health from her November echocardiogram.

While no cause of death could ever ease our suffering, this diagnosis raises fears for the well-being of Atlas’ relatives, and I know will cause concern for many of you.

Please know that HCM typically progresses more slowly than how it did in this case, and can often be detected through regular echocardiograms. If you have a cat related to Atlas, or Jade, I strongly urge you to prioritize their heart health with yearly or bi-yearly echos.

There is hope, research into new medications looks promising for managing HCM, but for us, the pain of losing Atlas is too great to continue our breeding program. Our two remaining girls are Atlas’ grandchildren and breeding them is a risk I am unwilling to take. We’ve encountered HCM before but never in one of our breeding cats. The impact of this is especially devastating.

My thoughts are with each of you, and I pray that you never have to endure this kind of pain. If you do, please know that I’m here for you, and we will walk through it together.

Thanks to our amazing veterinarian, Dr. Marcia Carpenter, Atlas’ DNA will be studied by Dr. Leslie Lyons at the University of Missouri along with her close relatives. We have high hopes that their DNA will help Dr. Lyons identify one of the genes that produces HCM in Scottish cats, so one day, a simple DNA test can detect if a cat has the genetic makeup to develop and produce Scottish cats with HCM.

Atlas was a shining example of kindness and gentleness. Her wholehearted love and affection brought joy and serenity into our home, touching all of us. We will miss her forever.

It’s time to say goodbye to my longtime buddy Thomas. I’m so thankful I’ve had all these years with one of the bestest boys God ever made. Tomorrow a vet will come out to the house and assist Thomas in letting go of his mortal body and moving into his next state of being. As hard as it is, it’s the last gift I can give him. Thomas has touched so many lives, he has been a favorite of almost everyone who comes to visit, certainly mine. I will miss him until it’s my turn to step into the great unknown, where I hope we will see each other again.

Cat friendship goals!

This is a welcomed surprise. Castor and Blossom decided to share the window perch today. ❤️

Rest in peace, sweet Sam. Although we didn't know each other long, we quickly became friends. I’ll hold you in my heart forever.

It’s been about one month post-op, and Thomas is all healed and doing well. His biopsy didn’t provide clear answers, but it doesn’t appear to be anything terribly serious. He has started a couple of new medications to help manage his chronic conditions, and all in all, he seems to be doing well. 🥰

My summer fling!

We didn’t go long without a stray. Marlboro moved out and Sampsonite moved in. Sam has been coming around for years and I always thought they had a home base somewhere and just wandered. His/her near constant presence makes me think otherwise now. I’m torn between finding Sam a home and letting him stay right where he is. I’m thinking along the lines of, if you remove one stray, another one will come. I enjoy his company outside and I believe he offers a sort of protection from other stray cats, I can keep him fully vaccinated, flea treated and tested routinely, he keeps others at bay. I think my yard is a sort of protection for him with the 6 foot high fence surrounding the 3 acres, the cat has no desire to leave and coyotes have no desire to come in. Now that we don’t have a dog it’s a haven for stray cats and small animals like skunks and possums to live in. The long winter is what has me questioning if he should stay. I’ve seen him survive winters before, but it is going to break my heart to see him lonely out in the cold. Of course I’ll make him cozy in the garage, but still…

If anyone is running low on smiles today, here is a hearty dose of cuteness. 🌈☀️

Thomas had surgery today to remove a festering mass on his side! Everything went smoothly, and he’s recovering well so far.

Now we play the waiting game... it’ll be about a week before we find out what the mass was. Keeping our fingers crossed for a positive outcome!

I was a nervous wreck sending him into surgery, considering his age and health issues. But he’s a trooper, and I’m relieved he’s doing okay. ❤️
