He knew you were there. I have absolutely no doubt of that. The ones
you work for are the best of the best. I've had the privilege of
sharing the lives of several who came in and chose to stay with me.
He made that choice.
Buddy is not alone. He is surrounded by angels who are watching over
him. Blessings to you for caring about him.

HI All, please add my boy Buddy to the list. He was 10 years old,
both Felv
and Fiv positive.
He passed earlier today about a half hour after a seizure. He had no
prior
seizure activity I was aware of, in fact I thought he was in great
condition
and would be around for a couple more years. He went completely limp
after
the seizure and at first I actually thought he was dead. But a
little breath
showed on the mirror in front of his nose, and then I hoped he would
come
round in at least some fashion....but it didn't happen, he was barely
breathing, I couldn't tell if he was conscious or not the whole time
- and
then just as we got to the vets, he stopped. There was nothing they
could
do. I am really grateful I was home (my worst fear was he would be
alone)
and able to be with him when he passed and I really hope he was
aware he was
not alone, and I was trying to help him.
He was absolutely an awesome friend, such a patient cat,
surprisingly sweet
and playful for an old, very tough ex-TomCat. He was finally getting
plump
and really loving scratchies and pets. A total joy for me to see
inside,
safe and happy. I knew him the last three years - after feeding him
for two,
last winter is the year I caught him and insisted he stay inside.
We worked
really hard to get to a very good place and it was worth it. He
worked the
hardest; he still was willing to trust me.
I am really sad. I miss my friend in my house. His room feels
incredibly
empty and even though he wasn't allowed out of his room, I feel the
absence
of his physical and spiritual presence everywhere. I am getting him
cremated
(in his cozy soft bed he loved, if they will allow it) so he will be
back,
sort of, but this is the first time I have had one of my cats in
someone
else's care when out of my house. I never leave them alone in a
strange
place. I know it's weird but it's creeping me out thinking of him
alone,
even if he is curled in his beloved bed, at the doctors office. I
didn't
like leaving him there. :(
All, if you can, give your kitties a kiss, a hug and a treat today
to thank
them for still being around. I know I am!
Best,
Dana and her 6 other furbabies (Callie, Hobbie, Greyling, Fuzzy,
Magical
Forest Creature and Honeybunny Pouf) .
