Piper has a heart disease

It is with great sadness that I have to deal with Piper's irreversible condition. The vet has diagnosed her to be suffering from a heart disease called Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy. Basically, this leads to a heart failure because her heart muscle is thickening and that causes complications in the pumping of blood to her body.

I've been trying to read up on it to know what to expect. The vet is trying his best to take her through this difficult period. I asked him if she feels any pain, he can't be sure. She just feels unwell, according to him.

I read that some cats can live happily for years under medication to control the disease. This gives me a little hope. But there were also some cases where some affected cats suddenly dropped dead. Some advise from websites are to keep the cat as stress-free as possible, and to discourage too much physical activities.

I'm willing to do anything so that Piper will have better quality of life in the time that she has left. This disease is like a time-bomb, I just don't know when it'll explode on me. I'm scared...I'm so very scared of losing Piper. As much as I tell myself that it is okay, that God loves her more than anyone of us and that God will lead her some place better in the future, I can't help but feel so much pain.
