Re: Way OT: Far out
Last week I was caring for one of my client's felv+kitties, "The Chairman" AKAS "Chairman Meow", AKAS "Rothchild" and he was unusually active. I was spying on him while I prepared his lunch,he was jumping in the air and running around..actin' all crazyso cute! Then I see that he is batting a snake around, poor thing was almost dead from his pawing and tossin' it up in the air. I quickly grabbed it and put it outside, he proceeded to walk around and meow, singin' for his snake, looking for it even under the rug His new Native American name is "One who dances w/Snakes.." Told ya, kitties have many names, many purrsonalities in them there tiny furry little bodies... Many names indeed. Susan J.

Re: Update on Olive: Dilemma...
This is totally and absolutely incorrect but warned me that it usually only works a couple times because an immunity develops please ask him to do some research on this, I know from experience of my own cat and hundreds of people on the anemia list with cats getting epogen, procrit and the news drug for anemia, starts with an A and I can't think of the name right now, that it is less than 30% of cats that may develope a reaction and then only after an average of 4 or more months of bein on the drug! AND when that happens your just basically back where you started and the epogen doesn't work anymore. As I said Bailey was on it 6 MONTHS with NO problems, sorry to yell but it seems like nobody is listening half the time and a cats life is at stake So . try and possibly save your cat don't try and your cat dies FOR SURE, for me the choice is very easy. -- Belinda happiness is being owned by cats ...

Re: Goodbye, Olive...
Megan, I'm so sorry. She was a beautiful little girl. It is so unfair. Her siblings are very beautiful too. Make sure you give them extra vitamins and iron just to make sure they stay strong. I think it is very lucky they have tested negative. This means they did not contract this disease through their mom. You have been a great joy to me, just because it is so wonderful to see a person so full of love and compassion. People like the people here on this list do restore my faith in people. There is so much unkindness in this world. Hearing about how all this has ended did break my heart. My eyes get cleaned out every morning here...I know we were all hoping so badly everything would turn out perfect. Your other little guys deserve your attention now. I'm sure this has been awful for them too. You have learned so much here ,as have we all. You have also made a lot of friends. I'm sure you will always be able to find a friend here who will remember you. I really loved your pictures! They were very easy to access too! Thank you Megan. Now it is back to thinking about school. You will have a wonderful life.

Re: Goodbye, Olive...
I am so sorry Megan. It is heartbreaking. Olive was lucky to have found you to experience your love and care. She was a beautiful kittie. Jane tunately, I had to resort to PTS. It was probably the toughest decision of my life--or at least, the second toughest, the first being to decide to let Olive go in the first place. I spent most of the day yesterday and today with her, and it was miserable watching her fade away. My roommate and I sat by her for hours today. I kept thinking she was about to go, that she'd take one last looking like she'd already passed. At one point she looked like she was really gone, aside from the very slight rising of her chest, and then she rolled over and stretched out, almost as if she were alright... it was heartbreaking. This morning I had thought about trying to save her, but in my heart I feel that it would have done more harm than good. Perhaps there was a slight chance I truly could have saved her and reversed the anemia--but I have a feeling it wouldn't have worked out that way, and I didn't want to put Olive through more suffering. She was too young to succumb to this, but if I had tried to keep her alive, I feel that it would've been out of my own selfish reasons. I will miss her so much, but I am glad that she went out easy. I am sorry that I could not give her a longer life, but at least the one she had was a great one. She was one of the best kitties ever. The vet called me this afternoon asking for an update, and I told him of my decision, but that I still didn't know which way to go about it. He told me he'd be at the clinic for about 20 more minutes, so I told him I might call back. After discussing it with my roommate and boyfriend, I called back. It was terrible. But at least Olive got to enjoy a last meal of tuna before parting this world. She'd not eaten in a while, and I was happy to see her gobble up quite a bit of it. Here are some photos of Olive, if you're interested: http://web.utk.edu/~mheikkin/olive.JPG http://web.utk.edu/~mheikkin/olive2.JPG http://web.utk.edu/~mheikkin/babyolive.JPG http://web.utk.edu/~mheikkin/kittens.JPG (Juniper on left, Kudzu on right) She was not very photogenic, so I don't have many good photos of her... Thank you guys for all of your help. I did not mean to come off as ungrateful in one of my previous emails. I was in so much pain, and so confused. I'm feeling better now, because I know I did the right thing, as awful as it was. I wish you and all your kitties good luck. I may eventually leave this list, as I should hopefully no longer have use of it for some time being... But I'll stay on for a bit.

Oh Megan, I am so sorry. I know what you went through. I never had a chance to think about euth for Ki. It happened so fast. He was only 14 mo, and it WAS too young to die.
