Re: [Felvtalk] Bridget has sent me another cat
I am certain this was meant to be. What a wonderful gift and what a blessing for you and the little one. What wonderful people to board her for that long. This little girl was just waiting for you Thank-you, Bridget. (Keisha sent me Tessa after she died- she is almost the same cat, even down to the raspy meow).

Re: [Felvtalk] Bridget has sent me another cat
It was. Bridget was watching after you just as Dixie watched after me. She, like Bridget, knew that too much grief was not good for her Person and being busy is a good distraction. Dixie sent me two very small kittens, Sir Copper and Sir Thomas Cougar, who are now very big cats. If you ever doubt Bridget's love, look at the new little one.

Re: [Felvtalk] Bridget is dead
you have no way of knowing if it was the stress or him, but then only God knows that. you can't in hindsight blame yourself for something you could not forsee. i imagine that he was just warning you of the possibility. it would be wrong of him not to. that is why even tho it may cost more, i will just eat less and make more trips to town to make up for it, i use my regular vet. i know his feelings about fiv and felv, we are on the same wavelength, and i trust him. i have 2 felv kitties and he has spayed both. they both came thru with no problems. he is also a uscker like i am and takes care of street cats and finds home for them. i have 2 of them. so don't be hard on yourself. you tried your best and your baby knows you loved her. that is what is important.
