Re: [Felvtalk] Please add Aggie to the CLS
We always hold cats when they are euthanized; I know people who don't, and their excuses are because they are "soul mates"..DUH! If you're soul mates, you stay together until the end and don't allow your beloved animal to die alone!

Re: [Felvtalk] Please add Aggie to the CLS
Oh shooo, you totally made me cry, I can only image what you've had to go through right now. I'm still new to the disease, so I haven't gone through the whole cycle yet. This forum has taught me to value my time with all my animals because we don't know how long it will be. Andi, I am sorry for your loss, it is always a tough decision to put down an animal. In the end, you know when it is time for your animal. I know you gave that kitty the best life she could have lived. I think it takes a special person to want to help these cats. You are all angels!

Re: [Felvtalk] Please add Aggie to the CLS
Hi Andy! This brought tears to my eyes! Aggie was very lucky to have you and what a trooper she was to fight it for 7 years! You shall see her over the Rainbow Bridge one day. She will be there to greet you. Rest in peace, Aggie! Thank you, Andy, for giving her all the love and attention she needed.

We helped Aggie cross over this morning, and it was one of the hardest things I've had to do. It was also the right thing to do.

[Felvtalk] Please add Aggie to the CLS
Hi all, I know I haven't posted in awhile, but I wanted to offer an update to those of you who followed our story with our little bundle of spunk, Aggie. We helped Aggie cross over this morning, and it was one of the hardest things I've had to do. It was also the right thing to do. Her anemia caused her to gasp for air since yesterday evening, and she was starting to involuntarily shake, could no longer walk, make it to the litter box, and could barely raise her head to watch the lizards running around our patio. She was my little valiant fighter for 7 years, but ultimately FELV took her from me. We tried everything short of a transfusion, and it just wasn't enough. I firmly believe that LTCI bought us about a year of good quality time. Her bloodwork was taking a VERY marked decline last June, and LTCI reversed it. Unfortunately, FELV is a tough nut to crack and there was only so much we could do. It was very peaceful, she just went to sleep while we sang her song to her , and told her what a blessing she has been in our life. If love could heal, she'd have been the healthiest cat ever. But right now, she's not in any pain, no more seizures, no more force feeding, no more shots, and only peace. There is a void in my home, and my heart right now. But I am so, so thankful to have had her at all. I didn't even like cats before I met her, and now I'm a sucker for them! Thank you for your advice, your collective knowledge, and more importantly, for the kindness you show to everyone who is dealing with this nasty disease. Peace to all of you, and good luck on your journeys with your beloved fuzzbuckets.
