I was hoping to never revive this post.

My other bad news is I had the brother Cheeky put down last night, he would have turned two in two weeks.

After Kip the cat of Lymphoma November 2019 my wife bought two Cheetohs Cheeky and Chewie, they were brothers born 23rd of October 2019 ,we got them February 2020 and they were very cute. For those who read the previous posts you will know the smaller of the two Chewie used to love to sit on my shoulder while I worked on the computer or walked around the house and they loved to play with each other. Chewie died 30th of October from FIP (2 days after my sad post he is very sick) which is a cat version of COVID, they said they are sure the brother will have it as well but hopefully be strong enough to kill it, if he lasts to two years he should be fine, he had diarrhoea a bit but it was getting less common as he got older. Cheeky must have been bitten by a snake yesterday, he was fine and jumped on my wife's lap last night for a cuddle but an hour later was not breathing well so I raced him into the emergency vet, they said he was going down hill very fast so before waiting for a blood test they put him on the anti-venom but he kept getting worse and they had to put him down, his heart rate was down to 30 bpm which is about 10 for a human. We will never know but I have a feeling it was a snake bite but when he started to get sick from it the FIP started and he went down so quickly, the cat that died from Lymphoma was bitten by a snake years ago and much worse than Cheeky when taken to the vet but made a full recovery. Feel so sad to have lost both of them in under two years.

I got home at 3:30am, my wife was not allowed to go to the surgery as she had been shopping in a place that later on had a worker test positive for COVID. She is heart broken this morning. I am just trying to build myself up to dig another hole in the garden, poor Cheeky is still in a bag in my car.
