Through your posts and the photo, I felt I had come to know the little guy. I am so sorry for you and your family for this loss. I'm saying prayers that Murphy's spirit is guided to The Land Beyond suffering. And may your hearts be eased knowing you did all you could to make his life on this plane as good as possible. Peace.

Re: [Felvtalk] Murphy is gone.
oh Alice, I am so heartbroken to hear about Murphy's passing. You fought the good fight for this dear boy and it angers me to the point of tears that you must go through this again, and that all our love cannot save them. Unfairness aside, you know you did right by him, and to love these babies with unpromised tomorrows is the bravest thing anyone could do - and you have bravery in spades. I believe he's joined the band of furry angels that are surely looking out for you. Cuddle up with you last Mohican and let the good times wash over you both. we are so so sorry Shannon and Whimsy --- ___ Felvtalk mailing list Felvtalk@felineleukemia.org http://felineleukemia.org/mailman/listinfo/felvtalk_felineleukemia.org
Re: [Felvtalk] Murphy is gone.
I am so sorry to hear that Murphy lost his battle with this horrible disease. You made him come alive for everyone in this group with the wonderful descriptions of him in your posts. He was a very special cat and was so lucky to have you to care for him. You are an angel to have given all of these cats so much of yourself.

[Felvtalk] Thank you for sharing Murphy's journey-we learned so much from all of you here!
This has been a long journey and we have so much to thank all of you for. First of all, most of the people in our day to day lives haven't got a clue what we are going through. We had Rosie to the vet today for her check up-she's been sneezing a bit the last few days. She got her CBC drawn (results tomorrow) and she checked out perfect, but a little PennG and cypro to see if we can nip the sneezing-so far tonight she has not sneezed. I'll add the Lysine for good measure. Murphy did sneeze right in her face a few times recently. She will barely touch wet food the last week since Murphy hasn't been eating along side of her. Last night about 1 am she was wailing-carrying her toy around the house. Glenn got up and spent some time with her in the living room so I could get to sleep, I had to work today. Our vet was so kind-Dr Krysta at the Sacramento Cat Hospital and she said they have learned so much with Murphy and treating FeLV with open eyes and minds. Thanks to this board, we discovered the Imulan LTCI-they ordered it for us over a year ago. I believe it did give us more time with Murphy. Thanks to Dawn and the suggestion to try Rutin for the fluid in his lungs-the vet was amazed at how great his lungs sounded after a short time with the Rutin-she said they used it for another condition but had never considered using it for FeLV cats and the fluid in their chests with the Lymphoma. When Rosie came home from the vet today, she searched the entire house for Murphy-for the first time in her life, she is solo. I'm not sure what to do, but time will help. I am so grateful for all of your support the last year or so. Our lives are much enriched with learning how precious every day is. Gratefully, Alice, Glenn and Rosie ___ Felvtalk mailing list Felvtalk@felineleukemia.org http://felineleukemia.org/mailman/listinfo/felvtalk_felineleukemia.org
Re: [Felvtalk] Murphy is gone.
Alice, so sorry to hear his journey came to an end, but what a journey it was! He found a good home with you and thanks to you he had the best life he could possibly have given what was handed to him. He surely knew that from how he showed you his love. Will miss your updates (the improvement ones) and thank you for your constant retelling of his expriences, they have been a wealth of information for us beginners with this terrible disease.
