Joona was very warm hearted fellow. And for Minna he was almost like "once in a lifetime" cat. Maybe that had something to do with his first weeks when he needed some extra care both during daytime and nighttime. Joona slept on Minna´s pillow with Veera and later also with Ella. And at summer cottage Joona usually walked after Minna where ever she went. Joona also joined the long walks in the woods! Joona had a powerful voice which he used quite often but to Minna he always made very silent voices and sounded more like a kitten than adult cat. Joona loved cheese and cooked liver. And he also liked salmon and smoked turkey meat. And then he had to tell every time he needed to go to litter box :-) Joona had a very special colour in his coat. He
was smoke grey with black "tiger stripes". He had a beautiful black
nose and nice green eyes. He was very handsome boy and most visitors fell in
love with him immediately when they saw him. And he was quite big even though he
wasn´t very heavy. He had long legs and long tail and his coat was not short
and not long either but in between. On his last years Joona was very skinny
because of his desease. |

Poor Joona was healthy almost all his life but then he got his desease and wasn´t ok anymore. During his last three years we visited vet quite often and he got all kind of medicins. What was wrong with him we don´t know excatly. Blood samples were taken many times and he was x-rayed and scanned and the result was that he perhaps got FIP - the dry version of it. He did not have much pain but sometimes when desease was on he lost a lot of weight and was like a walking skeleton. And then he suddenly was better again and back to normal. And he got brown little spots in his irises. He got a good medication and we tried to give him as good diet as possible which made him strong. And all the time he was happy and playful. But then in the January 2007 he went suddenly into quite poor contion. That happened within 2 days and there was not much we could do but to make a very very difficult decison. We could let him go to rainbow bridge. We took him to Kannelmaki vet clinic on saturday 20th of January 2007 and he was put to sleep at 15.45. It was a beautiful and peaceful moment and we are always grateful for those people on that clinic who made this situation so beautiful. Joona was frozen until next summer and we took him to summer cottage with us and burried him there under a big rock. There is a pink rose growing near his grave. Joona´s nicknames were: Joona Oinonen, Jonsku, Noonas, Kutale, Puikulapylly, Puikula, Raitapaita, Nokinena, Nando. |
