Spend tonight loving her and cuddling her in your heart. You can
send her all sorts of love without moving her or causing her pain.
Just be with her and tell her it is alright to leave this world.
That
you are going to be ok. She may well decide to leave tonight on her
own but she needs to know that is ok with you and
.................well, she is very concerned about you and your
welfare. She needs permission to leave this body and needs to know
that you know she will remain around in spirit.
If you have men who
will exclude any of God's creatures
from the shelter of
compassion and pity, you will have men who
will deal likewise
with their fellow man.

Thanks for your good wishes; she told me last night that she is ready
to go. She is in a lot of pain, with her big eyes looking up at me,
as
if to say, "Please, help me!" I decided this morning that tomorrow is
the time to let her go. I'll take her to my vet, and it will be swift
and painless. She'll be free to breathe again, without working so
hard
at it, and will never have pain again. :( I'll be crying, but I know
it's the best thing for her; I've already made the arrangements, and
she'll be well taken care of. Thank you all for your support, and I
will stay on the Email list, because I'm going to get another kitty
right away, so as not to be alone, and reading y'all's Emails has
given me an education, so I'll still need that, until I make sure my
new kitty is safe from this terrible disease. Thanks!

She will tell you when it is time. Listen to her with your heart
then
do all you can to help her on her journey. That may be to do nothing
or to help her leave---both are so hard. But listen to your loving
cat. She is so grateful to you for all your love.

Thanks, I'll talk to the vet about it; she's in such bad shape, she
doesn't move unless she has to. I think her time is coming, pretty
soon, as she is suffering, now, and I won't let her do that very
long.
I'll set her free, before I'll let her suffer much. Thanks for all
the
support.

Julia, I really think that a dexamethasone/depomedrol shot would make
her feel much better. It can make them feel good until they are
ready
to go. I have seen it happen with lymphoma multiple times, as has at
least one other person on this list.

Hi, Wendy,
Well, she's barely eating anything, in fact, she'd rather drink the
Lactaid milk I give her than eat. I tried putting food in her mouth,
but she doesn't want it. She's having a terrible time breathing, and
can hardly stand to be held, as it makes her very uncomfortable. The
vet said she thinks the tumor is taking up more space, even with the
Prednisone, and that's why she's having so much trouble breathing;
they
hardly got any fluid out of her, the last time they drained it out.
I
think she will be gone soon. :( :( :(
