Spend tonight loving her and cuddling her in your heart. You can
send her all sorts of love without moving her or causing her
pain. Just be with her and tell her it is alright to leave this
world. That you are going to be ok. She may well decide to leave
tonight on her own but she needs to know that is ok with you
and .................well, she is very concerned about you and
your welfare. She needs permission to leave this body and needs
to know that you know she will remain around in spirit.
If you have men
who will exclude any of God's creatures
from the shelter
of compassion and pity, you will have men who
will deal
likewise with their fellow man.

Thanks for your good wishes; she told me last night that she is
ready to go. She is in a lot of pain, with her big eyes looking up
at me, as if to say, "Please, help me!" I decided this morning
that tomorrow is the time to let her go. I'll take her to my vet,
and it will be swift and painless. She'll be free to breathe
again, without working so hard at it, and will never have pain
again. :( I'll be crying, but I know it's the best thing for her;
I've already made the arrangements, and she'll be well taken care
of. Thank you all for your support, and I will stay on the Email
list, because I'm going to get another kitty right away, so as not
to be alone, and reading y'all's Emails has given me an education,
so I'll still need that, until I make sure my new kitty is safe
from this terrible disease. Thanks!

She will tell you when it is time. Listen to her with your heart
then do all you can to help her on her journey. That may be to do
nothing or to help her leave---both are so hard. But listen to
your loving cat. She is so grateful to you for all your love.

Thanks, I'll talk to the vet about it; she's in such bad shape,
she doesn't move unless she has to. I think her time is coming,
pretty soon, as she is suffering, now, and I won't let her do that
very long. I'll set her free, before I'll let her suffer much.
Thanks for all the support.

Julia, I really think that a dexamethasone/depomedrol shot would
make her feel much better. It can make them feel good until they
are ready to go. I have seen it happen with lymphoma multiple
times, as has at least one other person on this list.

Hi, Wendy,
Well, she's barely eating anything, in fact, she'd rather drink the
Lactaid milk I give her than eat. I tried putting food in her mouth,
but she doesn't want it. She's having a terrible time breathing, and
can hardly stand to be held, as it makes her very uncomfortable. The
vet said she thinks the tumor is taking up more space, even with the
Prednisone, and that's why she's having so much trouble breathing;
they
hardly got any fluid out of her, the last time they drained it
out. I
think she will be gone soon. :( :( :(
