Kerry,
It's so hard to say goodbye. There are so many things about Albert that
will help you deal with his loss after you have time to heal. He lived
to a ripe old age; he left the earth in exactly the way, at least I,
would want to, (in relatively good health until the end; with time to
say goodbye and then quickly cross); you did right by him your entire
life together, (even if his vet visit was stressful on his heart, you
would have a harder time dealing with his passing if you hadn't sought
medical help); the two of you spent so much quality time together, there
could be no doubt that he was respected and loved. All these things
will probably bring you comfort when you are ready. Right now, I know
you are not ready. Right now, I know the sorrow of losing his warm
presence is an open wound. It's so hard to say goodbye.
Please take care of yourself, your other babies need you, you are a
blessing to us and all those you care for. Remember all the good you do
and remember that even if you don't fully realize the influence you have
on so many others, your pain and sacrifice make a difference and we are
grateful.

Hi all,
I know I haven't been here in awhile, but I always come back as you
guys are the most understanding and compassionate people that I have
ever met..
I lost Albert today, May 15 a few minutes before 4pm. He went into
sudden cardiac failure.
He hadn't been sick until yesterday as he started showing some signs
of maybe a urinary tract infection which turned out to be his
heart..probably due to some long standing hyper-t.
He was felv-. We added his sister, Alberta to CLS back in Jan. I
just wanted him there with her. I also lost Striper (hit by a car) on
April 16. So it hasn't been a good year so far.
To those of you that remember Inky, he is now 20yrs and 9 months.
Fingers crossed he keeps doing well.
Albert had just turned 16 on April 12.
Thank you all as always for listening and caring..
You and your kitties are always in our prayers,
Kerry, Inky, and Angel's Bandy, Buster, Lil Rascal, Snoopy, Alberta,
Striper, and Albert
