Elusive in her healthier days
taken some months back.
when this girl would scoot off before i can even say hi.
when this girl would scoot off before i can even say hi.
she is found! but in a much worse condition
dear all,
A good to news to share. Elusive is found! she has been in the room all this while!! would u believe it?? today the uncle smelt urine in the room and he pushed the bins away and she was there.
the room is stacked up with lotsa bins and stuff so it is not easy to find her.
but the bad news is, she is deteriorating fast. she can no longer stand on her own. she could not even sit up to pee earlier according to the uncle and she just peed lying down. one side of her body was soaked in pee when i saw her earlier. i tried my best to clean her up and lie her on the dry side to let the wet side dry.
she is not eating. but she was still thirsty and drank some with my assistance (lifting her lower body up) but she's completely reliant on me now.
i think it wont be for long. i am estimating 2 or 3 days max for her. her lumps are alot more visible now. she is also not as alert and responsive. she really is deteriorating fast.
sigh.

Still missing
left the school at about 6pm today. Elusive was still nowhere to be found.
live in the present, i would remind myself.
yet i cant help but allow a million thoughts race through my mind.
where is Elusive? is she hurt further? has she been picked up by a kind soul who may have taken her to the vet (yet again?)? would that vet ask her to be put down? would that kind soul have agreed? did she get into a fight with the orange tabby (Lion King) who also shares the school? she would not have been able to run fast at all... she could not even walk properly when she came back (limbs sliding out and all..)
is she still alive? pls let her death be a swift one if she is in tremendous suffering right now.
Elusive, Elusive, please show yourself tomorrow first thing in the morning OK? I will give you yummy treats and your favourite wet food.

Elusive is missing
She has escaped from the little room where the 2 guards left her before they went home. I cant imagine her jumping in her state. She must have been in great pain. She is really one tough little cookie, to have been able to make her way up the bins to squeeze through a gap at a height taller than myself and landed on the bins outside the room against the walls.
Where could she be?
Please pray that she'd be fine and appear soon for her meals.

Back at home
Elusive is back home (school), back to her favourite Uncle Zain (security guard uncle who has been feeding her for the past 3 years).
She was clearly stressed out when she first came back. Her hind legs seemed to have little strength and she could not walk properly without dragging. Not sure if it is due to the lack of exercise in the tiny space constraints during the hospitalized period or due to her illness or due to the effects of the drugs. Hope some sunshine and more exercise will improve her condition.
Elusive is suspected of having bone cancer. She was brought home today as there was nothing that could be done further for her. I would like to believe that she would have wanted to be home, in her familiar surroundings, if it meant her last moments.
We will do what we can to make her final journey one much filled with love.
