Sally, You're so very much in my thoughts at this heartbreaking time. I'm in complete agreement with you. Junior deserved the chance that you gave him, and he had a year and a half of quality time. Mine had about the same amount of time. Before they became symptomatic, they enjoyed life to the full. hugs, Kerry

My head knows Junior is happy and whole. My heart is broken. His roomate spike just jumped up on my lap to let me know she is a love kitty. When I first joined this group I almost had to leave it seemed like someone baby was passing away all the time. It hurt so much to think about it. I knew I had to stay because I learned so much. Junior lasted a year and a half. I consider that a gift. To all you presently fighting the disease it is worth the rollercoaster you may be on. You never know your kitty may be the one to live a long happy life you have to give him/her that chance. Junior is six this year.

I would like to say it went well, but his body was shutting down. The sedative did not calm him. I called the vet back into the room to go ahead and stop his misery. His veins were not cooperating. She had to stick him 4 times that last time she got a smaller needle.(Not her fault, it was the end). Junior had a heart murmur and that is what was going on. I was not going to prolong his misery by heroics. Heroics kept him alive for two years, and that is my greatest gift. Please light a candle for my precious baby. My heart is breaking. Send Junior to the CLS list with his brother Tiny who left me Christmas day a year ago. I will share what I can about this horrible disease.
