I am so sorry. Please consider that you were close to him and he may have
waited to leave until you fell asleep. Maybe leaving that way was easier for
him or he thought it would be easier for you.
May the angels give you and all your little ones peace.
If you have men who will
exclude any of God's creatures
from the shelter of compassion
and pity, you will have men who
will deal likewise with their
fellow man.
St. Francis

Subject: my 5th loss (to FIP?) - Rikki is at peace now
Hi, I just wanted to ask you to take a moment to send a prayer for my most
gentle kitty, Rikki who crossed the bridge to heaven tonight - he had the most
peaceful crossing -though I was in the same are as he was resting (on the
couch), I regret that I was not right besides him and was not holding him as I
ma sure he would have liked - I was so exhausted and laying on the floor and
felt sleep and woke up and he had passed already - I feel badly that I was not
holding him.. Though he was so weak towards the end, every time, I could go and
call his name, he would meow for me like he has done for the past several years
I have had - I couldn't wish for a much more perfect than rikki -
I don't know for sure if he had FIP for sure,, as it impacted a different
part of the organ in his case (kidney) - though I know it was not CRF, as his
kidneys were just fine two weeks ago. I was talking to someone today in rescue
business - and there seems to be more FIP cases in our area for some reason -
so Susan, in a sense you were right, there is something going on that no one
knows about - there is more incidents for FIP in the area at least than every
in the past.. and don't know why..Right now I am in despair and tired..
I have 4 other kitties who are showing a partial of symptoms in other kitties
who have passed away, and very paranoid. and I put all of them on FOI
interferon hoping that I am catching everyone early enough that can reverse
anything going one.. I am praying that I have seen the last of FIP tragedy at
my household..
I also found out that one of my dogs JoJo who is 8 years old mix of chow and
shepherd may or may not have cancer - his one of eyes is bleeding a bit and has
a big tumor in his gum.. and has blood in his urine. The vet was not crazy how
his eye and tumor looked.. we did an impression on him and see if we can find
more - please send a prayer to JoJo and send a healing energy that he is going
to get better -
Also, I have not seen my feral calico kitty - Angelina for 4 nights - I
talked to my AC-and she is either suffering something very acute or may not
with us anymore - I knew she was not ill - I mentioned to her about my
neighbour poisoning cats and she thought, she may be one of the victims - I
can't tell you how angry and devasting I am - she is a such a beautiful kitty,
and was getting so used to me and meoed so loud and happy to see me - I have so
much sadness, despair and angers these days. I am having a hard time to believe
in faith.. may all my babies rest in peace.. and come back and have a joyful,
happy and healthy life..
Hideyo
