Tabbs Spain, crossed over, 8th April I am heart broken, but after
Tabbs Long and brave fight, I had my Lady vet come out to the House to put
My brave boy to sleep, He had so many trips to the vets in the last
month that I did not have the heart for that last one, when I knew that he
would know where he was going. I have known we were losing the fight
for the last 3 weeks, He had lost interest in his food and also had
lost a lot of weight, but was still enjoying life up until the last 2 days.
he did not wish too be with me any longer sleeping or for sitting on
my lap. and on the Friday I had called the vet out, I picked him up
for his last cuddle, but he wanted to be put down, and when I put him on
the floor,for him to go back to his hiding spot in the video unit, he rush
out side into the garden, and did a wee, but then instead of going to one
of his old sleeping spot, he disappeared down the into the Spanish under
growth where I could not follow him, due to us living on a mountain type
range. All day I called him and all night, up to 2.30 in the morning, I was
still expecting him to turn up on the end of my bed, but I was scared
that he was not coming back, and had gone off to die.
Back up again
4 , and 6, still no Tabbs, by 8 o clock I knew he was not going to
turn up, So on with my walking shoes and a lot of protection clothing, plus
my walking stick, and some rope, and down the mountain I went calling
and praying, but knowing unless I could see him, I would not be able to
recover him, due to not responding to me on other occasions, when he wanted
to be alone. one hour later and a little bit worst for wear due to the
heavy under growth, I hear 3 meow's from him, but for the next 20 mins
nothing, but at least I knew he was down there some where, and a lot
further down than I would have though he would have gone. I shouted to my
husband to get the car and drive down to the bottom of the valley to see if
could hear him or see him , but no luck there. But my young cat Tiger who
follows me every where, had followed me down through the thick under growth
and was further down, than me, but he had found Tabbs, who was behind a big
stone rock, it took me about 10 mins to get to him, But he would not
come to me, I now had the problem of climbing back up with him in my arms,
which to begin with was OK, as he was happy to have a cuddle, after 10 mins
with one arm round him and the other trying to grab plant life to pull
myself back up the hill, I was having trouble hanging onto him, But 20
mins later, and nearly having a heart attack we got to the top. Oh I was so
happy, to have found him, I had thoughts that I would have always have been
looking down that valley and wondering where he was, and never knowing how
long he was there before he past on. My FELV boy Chang who pass on last
summer, did this to us, and also My FELV Boy Rocky , he went missing for 3
days, but came back to die, they where both, too wild too do any treatment
with. But Tabbs who was also a stray was someone's pet at some
time,
Sadly Tabbs did not wish me to hold him or give him cuddles, and
went back into his hiding place of the Video, so the phone call I had made
the day before had to be repeated, No interest in food or water, and he
looked really fed up. I spent a couple of hours sitting next to him
and giving him my contact and talking to him, while we waited for the
vet to come. Even then he tried to do a little roll for me to tickle his
tummy. My best Boy.
The end was easy and very peace full for him,
thanks to my vet.
If we could have got the epogen, then may be he
would have had a better chance, for any one interested in the care Tabbs
had or the history on feline interferon and interferon A which he was
treated with, then when I am feeling better, I will give any information
that may or may not be of interest. Also if we had started the
Interferon early may be things would have had a better ending. I do
believe that the Interferon did give Tabbs a couple of extra months. he was
ill at Xmas time, so who knows. but Thanks to you all and this web site I
do feel that I was able to do more for Tabbs, than I would have with out
it. Thank you.

luck with your operation, praying all goes well and a speedily
recovery Dare I ask how is Bailey doing, I have been too upset to view the
