Thank you all SO MUCH for your kind words. I hope maybe Mittens did realize I was doing the best I could for her. I just wish we could talk to them!
On another note my bill was nearly 1000 for her and Shaft. My vet is good, but very expensive. It's only money, but I really don't see how some of you handle the bills who have so many. (I can say that now because I'm actually down from 11 to 6. It's been a rough 2 years here.)
Take care everyone and treasure the time you have with each one. These things happen so suddenly. It's so sad. : (

Tonya...I'm so sorry to hear about Mittens...It never gets easier when they leave us...I remember my first feral...Ziggy...He got along so well with my other 4 cats (who were healthy...he was FelV+) and at that time I mixed them...he was only FeLV+ one...I was not allowed to touch him at all in the beginning...and I just prayed that he stayed healthy cause the one and only time I had to take him to the vet, well, I finally managed to corner him in the base of a cat tree...I couldn't get him out (he scratched me pretty badly)...so I took off the top tiers of the tree and took him to the vets in the base of the tree (I held the opening against me and of course he was cowering inside as far away from me as he could get)...the vet saw my bloody arm after she reached into the tree and extracted this meek little guy who was limp from fear in her arms... but after a year when the time came and he was feeling pretty lousy I woke up one morning and found him in the ca! rrier (this from the cat who never allowed me to corner him)...he told me he was ready to go and needed some help...now that I have an FeLV+ room in the house...every single cat who has every lived in that room, I have never had a cat in that room who hasn't gotten along with every other cat up there...I have been blessed but they are so very special...Anyway, I'm sure Ziggy (and Mack, D.B., Cookie Muffin, Bendon, Dallas, Zeke, Bubba, Grover & Freddie) will show Mittens the ropes...It's hard to lose them at any time, it's especially hard around the holidays...but you were there with Mittens..and loved her...that's the best gift any of us could ask for....I'll keep you both in my thoughts...(headbutts and sympathy purrs from Zach, Zoe, Dakota, Jazz, Mickey, Patsy, Stretch, Mazie, Lulu, Jake, Sparkle, Ollie, Winston & Toby)Sherrie
