I am so sorry that he passed, but glad that he was in his bed, with
you at his side. Maybe he did not have long but his time with you
was a time filled with love. Yes, it will take some time to get over
this hurt, but as you say, you will be able to give another FELV cat
love. You will always have memories.

Bob, I am so sorry about Yogi. Thank you so much for giving him a warm
loving home and giving such good care. I have been where you are and
know
how bad you are hurting. Know you did right by him and did all you
could
do. I am sure he knew it. Peace to you
Sherri and Bogey

My heart breaks to read this, Bob. You had encouraging words to give
me
about Curly and I have none to give you. Just deep condolences.
It's a sad world when medical treatment for a human or a beloved pet
comes
down to money. I've been down both of those roads. My wife and I both
work
full-time jobs which allow us enough extra money to pay for
treatments. But
if even one of us was forced to become a full-time caretaker we
couldn't
afford the cost of treatments. I hope it doesn't come to that.
I honestly cannot imagine opening myself up for any more losses after
our
current clan is gone. But I applaud you for being willing to give a
home to
yet another FELV cat who desperately needs it. The world needs more
people
like you,
My thoughts are with you.

Only by opening yourself for losses, do you grow in your capacity to
love. We give it freely to those who need it and they love in return.
A loss hurts and stays with you, but another room in your heart opens
up for another. I have over 30 graves in my yard and each loss hurt
deeply but then another shows up at my doorstep begging for love. you
cannot say no.
