[…]on anyone – human or animal – who will lay still enough for him to snuggle in (I don’t think Akhenaten was EVER warm enough!). Lately, he discovered the joys of sleeping under the covers in bed with Wendy & me, and crouches (he’s an expert croucher) atop whomever he […]
[…](along with Bean, who is going there for weekly chemotherapy). The specialist did an ultrasound of Akhenaten and was cautiously optimistic that instead of being in “kidney insufficiency”, he may be instead sub-clinically dehydrated from his ordeal. As briefly mentioned in this post, Akhenaten was found unconscious “in the hood” […]
Wendy brought home Akhenaten’s blood-work from the lab today. The summary: It’s bad. Really bad. His BUN, PO4, ALT (SGPT), Creatinine, Cholesterol, Protein (total), Globulin, and NEU% are all really high (the BUN and PO4 are high enough that the lab re-ran them to make sure there wasn’t a mistake).

Wendy & I put Akhenaten to sleep on Tuesday, January 18, 2011 around 9:30p. He went peacefully at home, surrounded by his family, human and animal. We are extremely sad to lose this wonderful cat.

[…]on Wendy and me enough that Wendy started casting about for a Siamese. Not to take the place of Akhenaten, which can never happen, but to bring their special energy back to our household. After several emails, Wendy located a breeder who had a champion Siamese that she wanted to […]
[…]Cats: Stompy, Eunice, The Senator, Janet, Toast, and Truffe. We miss our cats Ringo, Merrick, Akhenaten, Oliver, Mr. Face, Kasey, Achilles, and little white cat, who left paw prints on our hearts when they left all too soon, and fondly remember Midnight, Stanley, Esther, Belle, Buster, Chuck, Dolly, and Bean […]
[…]Siamese with a hospital name of “Ramses” (though Wendy believes his final name will be “Akhenaten” should he come live with us, because he’s an …unusual looking… cat (the picture to the right does not do him full justice)), was found at room temperature (well, he was at 91 degrees […]
[…]room for Beanie. -=*=- So far in 2011, we’ve lost 20% of our furry family, by losing Bean and Akhenaten. Merrick, Oliver, Chuck, and Buster are all geriatric animals, so the next couple of years may be full of loss for us. Even though Bean lived a long and happy […]
