Re: How is Samantha today?

She will tell you when it is time.  Listen to her with your heart then do all you can to help her on her journey.  That may be to do nothing or to help her leave---both are so hard.  But listen to your loving cat.  She is so grateful to you for all your love.                                                              If you have men who will exclude any of God's creatures                                                  from the shelter of compassion and pity, you will have men who                                                  will deal likewise with their fellow man.                                                                   St. Francis ----- Original Message ----- From: Julia Hagstrom To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Sent: Wednesday, June 28, 2006 10:31 PM Subject: Re: How is Samantha today? Thanks, I'll talk to the vet about it; she's in such bad shape, she doesn't move unless she has to. I think her time is coming, pretty soon, as she is suffering, now, and I won't let her do that very long. I'll set her free, before I'll let her suffer much. Thanks for all the support.

I have seen it happen with lymphoma multiple times, as has at least one other person on this list. Michelle   In a message dated 6/28/2006 3:13:12 P.M.
