Re: (no subject)-- Bubba
Thanks, Belinda. I never completely lose hope, but every sneeze and oddity make me morose and fearful after losing three.

Re: (no subject)-- Bubba
He was very lucky to have such a full and mischievous life, and to be able to live it to the hilt until so shortly before he passed away and at an old age. I know that this does not help, because you miss him terribly, but from a distance he seems like a very lucky cat. I wish such full and long lives for all of mine (maybe minus the dog attacks and injuries due to wanderlust, but with all the energy and zest for life that got him into those situations). My Simon had a zest for life like that too, and it was something to see.

Re: (no subject)-- Bubba
Sheila, I am so sorry. Did Bubba actually have FeLV for 16 years? Is that possible? If so, he must have had an angel looking over him, and it gives me some hope. Michelle
Re: (no subject) - Bubba
Sheila, I'm so sorry about the loss of your Bubba. He certainly had a full and rich life; so many adventures. I can only imagine how sorely he will be missed. It's so hard to train yourself to stop worrying about them when they've spent their lives getting into mischief. I have a couple on the other side that I still find myself musing about when I'm doing head counts. When everyone is accounted for, would I be thinking, where's Trouble? What's Molly gotten into now? And then in a strange way, I'm relieved. I never have to worry about them ever again. There's no further need to fear for them. They are safer than I could ever have ensured, even with all my precautions. Such a bittersweet thought. Bless your beautiful Bubba and your family in their grief.

I have never had a cat who enjoyed life so much.He was my oldest (16) and sweetest.He was the last of a family of seven that came to us in 1989. His life was so full of mishaps the first few years he would sneak out of the house like a little escape artist .He was hit buy a car twice and twice attacked buy neighborhood dogs. Once he got out and was missing for 10 days. With the help of everyone in the neighborhood we searched everywhere we could think to look. We finally gave up the search thinking he was gone for good.Then late one night I heard a little meow outside when I opened the door he stood there grinning like he had only been gone a few minutes. After losing his left front leg he decided the adventures weren't worth the pain and gave up his life of escape.His injuries left him a little slow mentally (Forest Gump),but that only made him more loveable. Everything about him was bigger than life ,his curiosity,his appetite, his ability to charm and get along with every one. I can't imagine life without this sweet precious rogue. Sheila
