He may have considered you jerks...or at least people to be put in
their place...serving him...but I suspect he loved you in his own way.
Blessings to you for caring for him even with his difficult personality.

I haven't posted much since Grrr was diagnosed back in the spring,
but I have been reading and learning.
Sadly, my big nasty boy stopped eating a couple of weeks ago. He
spent a week at the vets receiving fluids which perked him up a bit,
but he would deteriorate quickly when the IV was stopped. My
husband and I spent a long time with him on Monday evening, and he
made it plain to us that he was tired and ready to go. We stayed
with him while he was sent to sleep, and true to his nature he bit
the vet and myself one more time for good measure on the way out.
It sounds a little twisted, but none of us could stop laughing about
that in the moments after he was gone- wiping away tears all the
while. It was as if he was talking to us- "I'm ready to go; thanks
for the good times, and don't you ever forget who the boss is here,
you jerks!"We should all be lucky enough to have our parting message
be heard so clearly by our loved ones.
We miss his big nasty self around here. The dog and the other cats
have been walking on egg shells, testing their new limits carefully,
as if they expect him to pop around a corner at any second and
reestablish his dominance. The other cats still will not go near
his bed or food dish. The dog, who weighs 140 lbs., still will not
enter Grrr's favorite room. Even in absentia he is respected.
To all of you who contribute to this list, thank you so very much.
I have no doubt that the knowledge I gained here added time and
quality to Grrr's life, and I've shared much of what I've learned
with my vet, who has been eagerly absorbing the information; other
FeLV+ cats in my area will benefit from my experience with Grrr.
Thanks again all. Sleep easy, my good boy. We miss you more than
words can say.
