Meet new member SnowPuff!

My name is SnowPuff. I'm a cat who is a super pampered pet in that I have survived against incredible odds. I have kidney disease. In May 1998, my mistress found out from our vet that I was dying from kidney disease. The vet recommended having me put humanely to sleep. However, he also said he could try treating me, but didn't hold out much hope for my survival. So my mistress decided to give me a chance to live and opted to have the vet treat me. After a week in the animal hospital in intensive care, in which I received fluids and medication and many tests, I was sent home. My mistress began a program of forcefeeding me on a special diet Hill 's Science Diet puts out called Feline K/D. She also gave me my medicine in pill form and gave me fluids provided by our vet. After a few months on this treatment, I gained my weight back and got over being dehydrated. In fact, I have recovered so well, I even like to run, jump, and play! I run marathons across my mistress' bed every morning to wake her up, by jumping back and forth over her sleeping body till she gets up!!! The vet called me a miracle cat and I am just that. I was expected to die. They didn't give me more than a month to live. But I fooled them! I have lived for more than two years since my brush with death. Although I will always have kidney disease and must be constantly tended to with special diet and medications, I am a vibrant, healthy, happy boy today. To my mistress, I will always be her super pampered pet, the cat that defied death and won! It just goes to show you, you can't keep a good cat down!
