Re: [Felvtalk] Yogi's Passing
Bob, I am so sorry for your loss. Last night I heard the song "I'll be missing you," and this line sung by Faith Evans always stands out beautifully to me. On that morning When this life is over I know I'll see your face May you find comfort remembering the happy times you and Yogi shared together. Thank you for taking such attentive and delicate care of him. He surely knew love.

Re: [Felvtalk] Yogi's Passing
Only by opening yourself for losses, do you grow in your capacity to love. We give it freely to those who need it and they love in return. A loss hurts and stays with you, but another room in your heart opens up for another. I have over 30 graves in my yard and each loss hurt deeply but then another shows up at my doorstep begging for love. you cannot say no. Randy Henkewrote: > My heart breaks to read this, Bob.

Re: [Felvtalk] Yogi's Passing
My heart breaks to read this, Bob. You had encouraging words to give me about Curly and I have none to give you. Just deep condolences. It's a sad world when medical treatment for a human or a beloved pet comes down to money. I've been down both of those roads. My wife and I both work full-time jobs which allow us enough extra money to pay for treatments. But if even one of us was forced to become a full-time caretaker we couldn't afford the cost of treatments. I hope it doesn't come to that. I honestly cannot imagine opening myself up for any more losses after our current clan is gone. But I applaud you for being willing to give a home to yet another FELV cat who desperately needs it. The world needs more people like you, My thoughts are with you.

Re: [Felvtalk] Yogi's Passing
Bob, I am so sorry. I had hoped for at least a little more "good" time for you both. I know how hard it is to lose them, even when you know it's best. Each one takes a piece of our heart but leaves a part of their being to fill the empty place. Yogi isn't gone, he's just gone ahead. My Mako is probably still close by, and he has probably been lonely. I hope they find one another. In time, he'll met you at The Bridge. Thank you for loving him.

Re: [Felvtalk] Yogi's Passing
Bob, I am so sorry to hear of Yogi's passing. You did so much to give him the help he needed & gave him all the love he wanted. Sleep soft, dear little Yogi.

Well my little Yogi passed away in my arms on Sunday morningHe had started to go downhill a few weeks ago when his HCT dropped over a few weeks to 14 I did manage to get my hands on some Winstrol thanks to the efforts of others on this forum to whom I am eternally grateful but he faded too fast for it to have adequate effect ( or he simply was not one of the cats that was going to respond to it) He got to pass peacefully at home on the bed that he knew so well and with the hand of the guy that loved him and worked to keep him alive all these months stroking him.. I had actually made arrangements to put him down later that day after seeing the condition he was in that morning. I'm SO glad I didn't have to keep that appointment. It's been a tough go... The little guy never really knew more than a few months of health. There was , honestly, nothing really remarkable about him ...just a ratty little skinny thing with one clouded over eye but he was a sweet gentle little soul that never so much as attempted to scratch me despite all the things I had to put him through to keep him alive There was almost nothing left of him at the end ( started with him at 6 months old and 7.5 lbs and progressively over a year lost 3 lbs ( about 40% of his body weight . I probably would have put him down on at least 3 occassions if it wasn't for all the good advice and suggestions I got from all of you that helped me press on . So now I go from hurting every day watching him go downhill to the one big hurt of losing him it will pass in a bit of time( though certainly not today!) and it gives me the opportunity to give a home to another FeLV Cat that would have spent it's life in a cage.. and to give a playmate to my still healthy guy who is still very much a Kitten in his actions and DYING to have someone to play with...this time I will FOSTER so that I don't go broke with cat care if the next little guy/girl starts to go south well ahead of time...
