My Dixie left this world a long time before I wanted but she had a couple of wonderful years that most cats would exchange several of their 9 lives for. I would encourage them to see if there is a holistic vet in the area who works with a regular vet. I truly believe my holistic vet (who chose holistic work after practicing conventional vet work) with helping Dixie have a wonderful quality of life and letting her leave this world with as little trauma (to her--- not to me) as possible. She worked closely with my regular vets and, together, my little girl went from being a feral/throw-away who was expected to leave this world in a very few months to a wonderful, confident girl who had EVERYTHING!!!!!!!! for about three years. There was a lot of pain for me, Dixie's fans and all the vets when she left this world (by the way, she did it on her own--not interested in being anywhere near a vet thank you). There was a lot of relief from the same people when I took death off the table for Dixie after she came into my life...she did have a wonderful support group. She has been gone three years (yes, that seems to be a constant number in my life) and I miss her so much but wouldn't trade anything for the wonderful time I have with her.
