... died. Or, as Wombat-Socho prefers to call her, the unmentionable Armenian, famous for being famous, for inheriting a lot of money, and for doing her best to recycle it back to dress, shoe and car makers, for dating the infamous, and posing for a variety of magazines, including Playboy (NSFW). I just wanted to use the title.
Kim K's teacup Persian kitten was a gift from boyfriend Kanye West -- but after discovering she was allergic, Kim gave Mercy to sister Khloe's assistant, Sydney Hitchcock. Hitchcock recently lost her cat of 12 years.
"It is with deep sadness that I have to tell you all that my kitten, Mercy, has passed away," Kim wrote on her blog Dec. 7. "My heart is completely broken."
Although Mercy showed no signs of illness, E! News learned that on Nov. 26 Hitchcock's boyfriend called to tell her Mercy was limp and not moving. They rushed her to an animal hospital where veterinarians made the terrible diagnosis -- a fatal virus, which acts like a cancer, had attacked Mercy's stomach.
Since even aggressive treatment wouldn't help the kitten, Hitchcock decided to have her euthanized.
We renamed him Furball, after the way his hair matted and clumped if not constantly groomed. And since he was a nasty, unfixed Tom, he was unpleasant to comb, mean to our other cat, prone to infections after his many cat fights, and generally a pain in the neck, he never got groomed, although we sliced the mats off occasionally. But we did grow to love him, and we were sad when he conveniently got run over in the street a couple of weeks before we were to move from Oregon to Florida, saving us enormous trouble and expense.
Picked up by The Classical Liberal for "Cold Shot" Rule 5 Thursday, with Stevie Ray Vaughn and Double Trouble. Wombat-Socho checks in with "Rule 5 Sunday: Night Flights" over at The Other McCain" right on time!
