I'm sending healing energy to Kurt and calming energy to you. Your post made me cry thinking about what you're going through. It made me think about the cat that changed my attitude about cats. His name was Trouble and he was such a good, good friend. I still miss him so much. I'm a dog trainer and he used to help me whenever we trained a dog that had issues with cats. He always trusted me to handle any situation and never had any fear if I was close at hand, (kind of scary at times!). Kurt has changed your life, and you'll always be the better for it, not to mention all the other cats that have come to you and will cross your path in the future. What a wonderful loving soul he must be! I pray he has many more years with you.
I live in a neighborhood whose residents have very little concern for their animals quality of life. In moments of self absorption I have allowed myself to become discouraged and disheartened. I know though, if I concentrate on keeping my spirits up and continue to do my best to educate them, I can help change the way, at least some of them view things. Maybe I can't change the world, but if I don't give in to anger or bitterness, I can keep planting seeds of love and understanding in seemingly empty hearts. I'm sure that in your part of the world you find yourself feeling very much alone. Please know that you're not alone. Please know that you are appreciated for being the leader that you are.
God bless you and Kurt, much love, Nina

hello everybody,
i ave been mostly lurking lately, and as alwzys i have felt for every loss and smiled for every good news. only work and tha cats don't give me much spare time to write.
i am writing out of desperation now. my oldest one (10 yo), Kurt, is very sick. he is suppossed to be neg for Felv and Fiv (last test was a month ago, but we don't have IFA available here, so I am not completely sure). a month ago he had a general infection that cleared after a hard week of fever and pain on all his little body . he lost weight, but regained some during the past 3 weeks. then again last saturday he started decaying again, but this time with anemia and fever. blood test confirmed haemobartonella, with hematocrit of 24, which is not critical, but the fever doesn't go down with anything and i have been force feeding for 5 days now. Whenever we had cases of haemobart before, they were much better after 5 days of treatment. i am using doxy and homeopathy as well. my vet will come in an hour to put a line with saline, as he seems very dehydrated.
what I am asking for is your good vibes and any advice you can give. kurt is my special one, the one that showed me that cats are not pets, but family. he is the love of my life of cats, and i am not prepared for loosing him yet.
thanks for listening
