Crackers deserves to be spoiled and you said it right. Listen to your heart.
Our little friends will tell us what they need.
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.

My cat crackers had contracted the FELV POS from a stray beautiful girl
"Pokemon". Long story short Pokemon was a gorgeous black and white long hair
beauty who walked into our lifes at park. I was dense and didn't know anything
about FELV or FIV in cats. My son and niece fell in love and I brought her home
and brought her right in the house. She was so lovable , beautiful, had extra
toes on all her paws. Well 10 months later she was sick and I rush her to the
Emergency Animal Hospital in Philly. I knew NOTHING at all about anything. They
wanted $1,300 to admit her and said her stay in ICU would be between
$6,000-$7,000. I was in shock. They wouldn't tell me what was wrong and even if
they would I was so naive. Finally after struggling with Demons inside, they
told me she had lyphomia and would prob not make it. And that she probally had
FELV or FIV, and I should test my other cat, Crackers. I wish I had been aware
of these diseases because I would have said do the 5 minute test and see. That
was such a rotten time in my life. I ended up putting Pokemon down. My last
memory was of her breathing sweetly and sleeping in an oxygen incubator. I pet
her and told her I loved her. The next week I took Crackers and he was Positive
and his vet told me"put him down , he prob wont make it another month." That I
WAS NOT going to hear. I with the help of this wonderful group got a new Vet.
That was 1 yr ago. He will go for his 6 month check up in 2 weeks. He has been
so healthy, happy and loved this last year. This is your personal battle I
think we all would do something a little different. Me I look at quality of
life, but would spend every penny I had to make Crackers well, free of pain.
Then again he is stretched out on my diner room table next to me. SPOLIED LOL!
LOL. He is 6 years old and considered my son. I would sell my blood to help
him. But I also would not make him suffer for my satisfaction! Good luck and my
your heart guilde you and your sweet baby Megan.

P.s. Sorry so long.
