Thank you. I had a "talk" with Monkee this morning and I told him he better be
on his best behavior and to "be nice" to that sweet little soul Possum b/c you
know, Monkee was a rougher-upper of other cats (hence, likely the source of his
Felv!) and he never met a cat he liked, so I told him he better pull it
together and treat that gentle little boy nicely until I get there! I'm sure
he will begrudgingly obey me...

Monkee is chasing Possum and comforting him and showing him all the ropes. It
really is ok Caroline-------he knew love and care.

Subject: CLS- Possum
Can you add my foster kitten Possum (aka "Possee") to the CLS? He was not an
FELV cat, but possibly FIP. He was a struggling, failing to thrive white w/
grey kitten (who indeed looked like a Possum), who had a rough start in life
and I took him in to give him TLC and see what I could do for him.
Unfortunately, I was unable to get him the vet care he needed/deserved due to
approval problems with the adoption group he belonged to/I volunteered for and
I will forever regret that and feel guilty. But I know I gave him a wonderful
few months that he wouldn't have had if I hadn't taken him in: he was kept
warm, freed from the pet store condos, got the royalest treatment of all my
fosters b/c I never made him stay in the condo-he had free reign of my two
bedrooms, he slept on the bed with me curled in my arms or on my chest or
shoulder every night and we had love-fest sessions every morning, with him
purring away, he got the highest quality food and supplements, holistic vet
treatments, and a little kitty heating pad that became his all time favorite
thing. Sadly though, for whatever reason, whether it be FIP, a congenital
heart defect, or both, his little body couldn't keep up with his mind and
desire to live and he crashed without warning (besides a swollen belly) on me
in the early morning hours of Sunday and I rushed him to the emergency vet
clinic to end his suffering. He was a wonderfully sweet little boy and
although he was more an old-man cat then the 7 mo kitten he was supposed to be,
I loved him for who and what he was and I will miss him dearly, especially
because he became my sleeper-bud and I haven't had one since Monkee left me in
July. He was my first cat/foster kitten to die since Monkee and that makes it
even more heartbreaking for me b/c the Monkee loss is still so fresh. I also
wonder why they keep crashing on me on Sundays?! Thank you,Caroline K.
