Re: Spencer and making decisions (was my vet's office called)

Oh Hideyo, your words are so wise and evolved!  You're absolutely right, we are all "terminal" from the moment we are born.  Everyone and everything has their time here and then passes away.  We sometimes forget that life here on earth is a transient gift; how it all seems to go by in the blink of an eye.  How and when we die can sometimes be the subject of obsession, but the way we live is what really matters.  Here's to life my friends.  Now excuse me while I go and have a good cry.

I also have to come to conclusion that giving so many different disease available for feline ----the odd of our cats dying of some type of deadly disease are very very high.. as much as we want them to just get old and die from an old age, but nothing else..  I am feeling that it’s not going to happen that often… so, what I feel is that not so much about what they die of.. but how much they enjoy of their life and how they die….whatever it is they may have as illness.. cross peacefully…. And I have to tell you,, I have been very fortunate.. no matter what they died of.. they all have passed with not much pain.. if not, not long at all… and that’s a gift to me…   So, yes cancer sucks.. but right now, Spencer is not in pain..so that’s blessing ---
