Hideyo
I'm so sorry to hear about your tragic loss of Suzi last summer. You did what you thought (and what every one of us has done) was the right thing. You had no way of knowing it would go so badly wrong (none of my cats ever want to go to the vet--I always have to "force" them).
But I know how much it must hurt. I really am so sorry. Hugs to you, and to all the lucky kitties currently in your care, Kerry

Michelle, I know exactly how you feel - every time I lose someone, I so
wish I would have done/wouldn't have done - I torture myself for
thinking all the time.
When I lost Suzi a several month ago, I regretted so much for what I
did, and I still cry missing her every single night. Suzi was a healthy
sweet baby, and took her to spaying one day (on July 17th), and I never
saw her alive after that. She woke up from the anthesia, but something
happened and she stopped breathing - I was SO not ready not to see her
again. I never had a chance to say good bye to her as I was only
planning to see her in an hour - I wish I never brought her for surgery
that day, as I was not scheduled to do originally until the vet called
for an opening due to cancellation. That morning, when I tried to take
her, she one time escaped from the carrier, and I chased her and forced
her to go into the carrier - that was a sign - I wish I never brought
her - I just miss her too much and it hurts - if I never rescued her,
she would be still alive and I ended her life - she did not want to go
to the vet that day -
I pray every day that her soul will come back in another life again soon
so that I will have a 2nd chance to take care of her - and you, too,
Michelle, you will meet Simon again.

I have really been wishing, now, that Simon was able to get that
transfusion
the day before he died. he freaked out and needed to be put in an oxygen
tent,
and they said it could kill him to keep trying or sedate him in his
condition. Afterwards I felt horrible that I had even tried. Now I feel
horrible he
didn't get it, since Gary's HCT was just as low as his was, or almost. I
don't
know why I keep going over this, as I can not bring him back now, but I
do.
I found out yesterday at the shelter he came from that he was 4.5 or 5,
rather than just 4 as I had thought. So he got at least another 6 months
more of
his joyful life than I had thought.
I also found out that my Ginger, who I thought was about 4, is actually
at
least 5.5 and possibly 6. This made me happy to know she has made it so
far,
though of course a little scared because that is getting up there for a
positive.
Michelle
