Hi folks,I have only been lurking on the list for the past year or so. Some of you may remember me. I lost Cher, Midnight, Lisa and Suzy to the leukemia in a 6 month period in 2004. Today, we came home to find their mother, Miss Kitty dead. She had been having some kidney issues related to the leukemia, but was responding to the medications. Just last night, she had caught a small lizard. She was OK this morning. She ate her breakfast, she's been scratching on her scratching pad and acting only a little less than she would normally.This whole ride with her and the kittens has been tough. It's our first experience with FeLV and it's been HELL! I still wouldn't have put her & the kittens to sleep when we rescued them in July 2003. I just couldn't do it. Our vet recommended the same fate for Miss Kitty when we took her there about a month ago when her kidney issues flaired.We gave her 3 years of life that she would not have had otherwise and I don't regret any of it. She was a sweet, precious soul who didn't deserve the fate God handed her.May she rest softly with her babies at Rainbow Bridge. Please add her to the Candlelight Service for Monday.Thanks for being there when I needed you all.Brenda Lyons
