Bonnie,
This was one of my concerns. I'm so sorry you had this experience, but
because of it, you may be helping others, you're certainly helping me.
I know how hard it is to forgive ourselves when these things happen.
Your intentions were loving and I know that Katyusha knows this too.
I'm positive that she feels there is nothing to forgive, please try to
let go of it for her sake, as well as your own. She doesn't want your
thoughts and memories of her to be clouded with such harsh feelings.
She loves you still and wants you only to smile when you think of her.
It's never easy making these kind of decisions. I still don't know what
I'm going to do. I have the appointment set for tomorrow. I guess I'll
have to wait till then to decide if we go or not. Thanks Bonnie,
N

Dear Nina,
You would want the vet to be VERY CAREFUL. One of my positive
kitties, my beloved little shy golden turkish angora kitty, Katyusha,
had a very painful death - I think - because she was so emaciated that
when the vet injected her with the tranqulizer, she screamed out in
pain. This was her last conscious memory. This haunts me to this very
day.
