You know, Karolyn, I'm going to remember your words. I think they are so true. It certainly rings true in light of my one experience with Caramel, anyway. I just kept hoping he would 'perk up'...and as long as he was eating his fave food (which I guess he was doing up till 3-4 days before the end) I had that hope. But now, his unfocused eyes, and his turning his back to the room, are what keep haunting me...and this was the case for weeks and weeks. So even tho he was eating, I think his quality of life had greatly diminished. I'm learning! thanks again, Kerry

I have been rescuing FELV+ cats and kittens for 12+yrs. I have a wonderful vet of 21yrs who works with me to give my cats the best possible life they can have. We have learned together that the kindest thing to do, is that when the FELV "Kicks In", is to put them to sleep. It never gets any easier. All we can do is give them lots of love for the time they are with us. I feel blessed to have had the number of cats I have had in my life.
