Dede, i'm so sorry that Ki has passed. It is these days that are the
hardest to get through. When Tomi left me, I alternated between not being
able to believe he was gone, and feeling like he's been gone forever. It
hurts so much, but try to think of him often, and allow yourself to cry as
much as you need to.
Though i'm not always sure, I try to believe that their spirits live on, and
something happened with Tomi that makes me a little more certain that
perhaps their spirits do persist. A few hours after Tomi died, I leaned
over to kiss his forehead. In that exact moment, when I opened my eyes and
looked at him, there was a rainbow across his face. I have a kitty ornament
in the window that my dad gave me years ago, and the sun was reflecting
through it in such a way at that exact time, that it shone on his face in a
rainbow of color. Could it have been a coincidence? I suppose so, but that
is sure a crazy coincidence if that's all it was.
Maybe Tomi and Ki are introducing themselves to each other right now, and
telling each other all about us.

Subject: Ki is an Angel
It is with the heaviest of hearts that I let you know
Ki left this world at 10 this AM.
It was sooo hard for me. I noticed last night that
his belly looked really full. The way he was
breathing was weird also. You could see his head and
chest moving. His eyes had brightened up though, and
the fever had gotten better, but it kept spiking. He
even ate a few pieces of food by himself.
The vet drained his belly, and it was thick straw
colored with fibrin strands...heavy protein. My
biggest fear was that he would crash tomorrow when I
couldn't get to a vet, and he would have a horrible
death.
Maybe the move stressed him, or maybe I should have
never put him in with most of the cats. I dunno...I
could go crazy asking "what if's" I guess I believed
he would be one of the lucky ones. He came from a
horrible home...many FeLV cats and death. His
siblings and mother were neg and I was sure he would
beat it. It was only a faint pos. He had a fever
like this last Nov, but recovered,
I am so grateful for the time I had with him. He came
to me the week before my beloved Smokey died. I
didn't even know he was pos. but we kept him in the
bedroom, and played with him, and loved and slept with
him. He was a pistol, and rough to play with! I hope
he doesn't forget us, and the time will come when we
can all be together forever.
May the Lord bless you sweet one, and keep you in his
care until we meet again.
Dede
