Aww, poor baby. :( *BIG HUGS to you and her* My thoughts are definitely with you both!
Yuu make an interesting point about genetic weaknesses in certain lines - my first cat, Lily, had two siblings and all three of them died young-ish from different supposedly "rare" conditions. One of her brothers got Fatty Liver Disease and wasn't able to recover, and if I recall correctly, the other had some kind of cancer. Lily herself got a horrible virus which we suspect wiped out her sense of smell, so she had no interest in eating anymore. Although, conversely, her mom lived to age 15, so who knows. *shrug*
I remember the vet tech handing her over to me and telling her it's okay, Mommy's here... and I thought, "I'm not her mommy" - but in that moment I sure felt like I was. It was then I decided we'd keep her.

The boys are being quite well-behaved. She was just laying on my legs and Ani plunked down right against her and went to sleep. Awwww!

Good thing Pants couldn't read my mind back then... or maybe she did and that's why she was saved that one day! Heh.
