Tad,
I,
too, am sorry for your loss of Marie Cat. She was a lucky woman, to find someone
to take care of her in her dotage.
Please
accept my sympathy for your loss.
Joan
Dear
Tad, I'm so sorry and sad for you that you lost Marie Cat, but I'm very glad
that if she had to go, she went peacefully and on her own terms. It's the way
we all want our furballs to go when the time comes (not to mention ourselves).
I'm glad she found you, and knew what it was to live a happy life, knowing she
was loved and cared for. Thanks for all that you do for all those special
kitties that you take into your home and your heart. Kerry
She left happy and knowing she was safe and loved.
You can't ask for more than that. Sometimes we try to extend lives and
make the critter/person miserable doing so. I truly believe we need to
ask ourselves what we would want if we were in our animal friend's
paws. Please understand that I am not saying give up or do
nothing. Making the decision to hand the decision to God/our angels and
guides/nature is much harder than trying to exhaust medical science. You
are a very strong, wise and loving person to make that decision for Marie
Cat. I am very sure she is extremely pleased with the person she chose
to live with and that she sends you more love than you will ever know what to
do with. She will always be there to give you the comfort and love
you gave her. All you have to do is ask her.

Tad,
I am so terribly sorry. It sounds though that it was the 'right'
time for her to go and that she went on her own terms. I wish it could
always be as peaceful for all our fur babies. Take care of
yourself.
Sadly
my Marie Cat passed away quietly last evening..9/4/2005...
She was a
beautiful Russian Blue...
She was my first FeLV+ cat..I brought her
home almost 2 years ago to the day....
She was thought to be near 16
years old but she was picked up as a stray and we don't know for
sure..
I rescued her with a group of 4 cats all starving and eaten by
fleas..Marie was very down and they didn't think she would survived the
300 mile trip home but i wanted to give her a chance...
I didn't know
they were FeLV+ until I took them to my vet and that is when I decided to
start my FeLV+ room..I lost one of the kittens is a short time but her
brother is still here...
Marie has always acted like an old cat but got
around and had her favorite spots in sunny windows and on the soft rug on
the breeze way...She enjoyed both those spots yesterday...
About a week
ago she started drinking a lot of water and then throwing up...I put her
on an A/D diet and she seemed fine for a couple days then started not
eating...She excepted some from a suringe but not enough...
Last
evening she only wanted about 10 cc and then wanted to get in the window
over my bed...I had to help her climb up there...She stayed there for a
couple hours then came down beside me where she always slept and before
long she had passed on....
I might have been able to do more to extend
her life but she was old and she was comfortable and happy right up to the
end...
She was a very special cat, like all the others too, and she
will remain in my heart
forever....
