Re: [Felvtalk] Sad news - Jack, the cat, dies
If I do travel, I will drive my van and take all 7 of my babies with me. If I mve across te country, I will get a big rv and keep them with me. Sorry, I just do not trust anyone else to take good care of them like I do. I am sorry about Jack, I am sure his owner thought he would be in good hands and I am sure he feels very badly about it all. Good to hear about Continental, will keep that info handy.

This is how we handled sending our 2 dogs and 2 cats coming back from Belgium: I went first, with the 2 cats in the hold; the next day, my husband shipped the 2 dogs, and I went to pick them up. The next day, my husband flew out...and I picked him up. It was tensions all the way.and I wasn't even aware of all the horrible things that can and do happen!

Re: [Felvtalk] sad news
Jaci, I'm so soory to hear about BB Thankfully he lost his fight in your arms. Many do not, as they die alone or away from their loved ones. I know as I lost my TAZ when he was recovering from extensive surgery. I didn't get to say good-bye to him. So you can imagine how that felt. It was so sudden BB is now where he is healthy and playing with the butterflies with the other kitties. He has been greeted by my TAZ and others that have gone to the Rainbow Bridge. You are in my thoughts and prayers. I've been on this group forever even though at this moment I do not have any FELV kitties it could change at any given time. As I've stated many times this group is vital for information this is why I'm still here. So please remain and don't leave. Give yourself some healing time and take care.

She suggested giving a baby aspirin, which I did before going to work. ? Tonight, she barely lifts her head and is mewing so pitifully.? She a te some earlier in the day but won't eat tonight.? I called the vet again, and she had me give 1/8 of an antibiotic and we'll bring her in tomorrow morning first thing.? We've had other FeLV kitties neutered with no troubles, but I'm getting scared tonight. ? I just needed to share this tonight.? Any encouraging words or suggestions are greatly appreciated! ?

Re: [Felvtalk] sad news
Jaci, I was saddened to read that BB has crossed the Rainbow Bridge. We love them, care for them and in the end let them go. What was important for BB and for you was being there to hold him that one last time.
