It sounds like you had an amazing relationship with Cricket. And you are right that it would not be as hard with the others, but don't fool yourself-- it will still be hard, when the time comes. When I talked about going through it over and over, it was not just positive cats. I have lost 3 positives, but I have also lost a lot of other animals-- dogs to cancer, horses to leg problems and age, cats to cancer and age and heart disease. All animals reach the point when they are sick or debilitated or will not eat, except for the few that pass suddenly, and the feeling of going through it can be just the same as going through what we do with the FeLV+ cats-- with the one exception that hopefully the others are not as young in age when they go through it, and the early age at which positive cats go through this adds a tremendously heartbreaking horror to it all. But debilitation and death are debilitation and death, and they happen to almost all of us at some point, except those of us who die from heart attack, stroke, aneurism, or die in our sleep, which is the exception.
