Thanks, This group is the reason Junior had the last year and a half. He thanks you all for that. His quality of life was good up until that last day. Sure he had his share of URI and the corneal ulcer, but all that was treatable. This last thing while maybe treatable would have been very poor quality of life. He was ready to go. I would never have been ready for him to leave. I just realized today that I still have a half sister to Junior. Same mother from a litter a year before he was born. She is 7 now and very healthy. She cannot stand me :-).
I will post more later. Also my sister decided she did not have to make a decision about her felk cat today. I am so happy.
