Goku

Goku lived 19 years, 3 months and 17 days.

Died after battling kidney disease for 2 years and half (she was almost 17 when she went ill).

She lived a quite normal life as a geriatic cat, until she suddenly went extremely ill and in 12 days she was gone.

I miss her so much, I think she died too soon. I felt guilty because she didn't reach the age of 20, and because she died due to an illness, but by reading about kidney failure in cats, I found out that the disease is genetic and usually it appears earlier, the older is cat, the more common is the disease.

- Found out that her tiny ears (the tips were folded) were because she was born with the Fd gene, in short, she was a non-pedigree Scottish Fold mix. She didn't suffer from specific osteochondrodysplasia symptoms, her development was normal. She got arthritis ad at the age of 11 (common disorder at this age, in non fold too), and the disorder progressed slowly, allowing my cat to have a good quality of life.
