Bless you and your family (no matter the number of feet). Kisa may well have
waited until you were gone to leave this world. Sometimes they (like people)
want to be alone for a variety of reasons, including hanging in there because
someone the love is so close and so dear that they don't want to cause pain by
leaving. I don't know if that makes any sense or not. I have worded it badly
but Kisa totally adores you.
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: Kisa is gone :(
Kisa passed away this morning while I was at work, exactly one month after
Koda. My heart is broken, especially since I wasn't there with her at the end.
I had prayed and hoped so much that she would continue to improve after she
started eating again a week and a half ago. I suppose it was just too much for
her to overcome. The anemia never really did improve much. Though her
breathing was better, her skin was so pale.
The last few days, her appetite faltered again, and she was getting weaker.
I didn't think today would be the day she died, though i'm relieved she didn't
have to go on suffering much longer. I don't think she was in pain, and I
sincerely hope she wasn't in pain at the end. It was just so hard to see her
so weak when she was as active and happy as a kitten 3 weeks ago.
Kisa is going to be missed more than words can say. She never quite saw her
3rd birthday, but the time she spent with us will never be forgotten. She was
special in so many ways, I wouldn't even know where to start to list them all.
Fearless, loving, gentle, playful, curious, and sweet are just a few of the
words that describe her. She's been sleeping on my pillow the last few nights,
and i'm going to miss her warmth so much.
If it ever stops raining, she will be buried next to Koda tonight. I made a
rock garden full of flowers on top of Koda's grave. Now Kisa will join her
there.
