I'm so sorry, Becky. I'm not able to keep up with the list much these days, so I don't know Moeman's history, and don't know if there's a chance he will rebound---it does happen---but if not, I'm just glad that you're there for your darling Moeman, and that he knows what it is to be so loved and cared for. All mine (4 of them) have passed away at the vet office or emergency clinic (euthanasia), after I took them there in a panic, hoping yet again for a turnaround, so I don't know how it happens when no intervention takes place. I do know that I would have preferred they pass away at home, in familiar suroundings, and in their own time. From what I've heard on the list however, I believe you're right---assuming he no longer wants food or water, he'll become progressively weaker. Please know my thoughts and prayers are with you both. Being with Moeman at this time, and letting him know how much you love and cherish him, is the greatest gift you can bestow on him. much love and big hugs, Kerry

I think the Moeman is dying. I'm just trying to keep him comfortable as possible now. No more pokes and prods, etc. He's content I think. I'm just wondering if you guys could tell me the typical course of dying for a FELV cat? Will he just get weaker and weaker like he has been? IRS CIRCULAR 230 NOTICE.
