Cassandra,
I haven't been posting, but I've been trying to read and look for updates on your Kisa. I'm so sorry for your loss. She was such a little fighter recently. I'm always surprised at how diverse our kitties are-how there are numerous words to describe their personalities-like you said. I'm so happy there are people like you and everyone on this group who understand that-who have compassion in their hearts no matter how much their hearts hurt because of their giving nature. I think the amount of our hurt is directly related to how much we love. It's as though the more we love the more it hurts, but it ultimately won't stop us from saving more poor furbabies because if we don't, then no one will. Cassandra-I hope you find some peace in your grief-but sometimes it's just best to be sad while you remember darling Kisa.

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. Cassandra
