Please try to remember that a FeLV+ test does not mean a death sentence.
Izzie, like all of us, started dying the day she was born. This is not a bad
thing once you accept that none of us know when or we are going to die. It can
free you to enjoy the time you have together. I hope this doesn't sound cruel
but it is a very hard lesson the Royal Princess Kitty Katt taught me. It is
probably too soon to think about Kitty's wisdom--she was "supposed" to die over
a year before she did and her quality of life was very high. Try very hard not
to worry so much about loosing Izzie that you don't enjoy her.
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.

I haven't been on the list for several months but I wanted to let you know
that I lost Lucy on Tuesday morning. It was quick and she didn't seem to
suffer. She was cuddled up in my arms and we were sitting on the sofa. She was
only sick for a few days and the no one thought she was close to death.
Lucy was a sweetheart, she loved to be held and to curl up in my lap. She
loved her sister Izzie and they played and slept together. She was just a
little over a year old.
Izzie originally tested negative, then positive, and then negative. So I'm
going to wait a month and have Izzie retested. Please pray for us that she
stays negative. I honestly don't know how I could go through this again.
Izzie has been seeking a lot of affection and sometimes wanders around
meowing and looking. If anyone has any advice how to make this easier for her I
would really appreciate it.
Thank you for all of your support and wisdom,
Maggie
