Oh Amy, I'm so sorry. It is so so hard to lose one baby, but to lose six in 9 months---I'm so sorry for all the heartbreak you've been suffering for so long. Zuckerman's life was far too short like so many of our kitts, but at least he spent it with you and was loved and cared for right to the end. I love your description of him and his favorite things to do-- he sure was a lovable character, wasn't he, who knew how to live and have fun. What a sweetie. Rest in peace, Zuckerman. big hugs, Kerry M.

He is my 6th in the past 9 months. I know that it is to be expected when you take in sickly street kids, but it doesn't help with the pain of losing any one of these wonderful creatures. . Zuckerman was a 2 week old kitten with a horrible URI when I found him. He quickly became a momma's boy, going to work with me during the day and holding paws through the carrier door at night. Once old enough to graduate from the carrier, he became quite the snuggler, curling up at my neck during the night. He loved to suckle earlobes and would launch himself off a piece of furniture onto any unsuspecting person who happened by in order to attach himself to one. I told him that he would have to stop because we couldn't have a 12 pound adult "catapulting" himself onto everyone. Guess I don't have to worry about that now, he was only 8 months old and less than 4 pounds at the end.. We were holding paws when he left. It's been said before by all of us and unfortunately I know it will be said many more times, but I hate this freaking disease. _______________________________________________ Felvtalk mailing list [email protected] http://felineleukemia.org/mailman/listinfo/felvtalk_felineleukemia.org _______________________________________________ Felvtalk mailing list [email protected] http://felineleukemia.org/mailman/listinfo/felvtalk_felineleukemia.org
