Amy, I am so sorry for your loss. Six kitties in 9 months is a lot of cumulative loss and grief, even if loss is expected. Bless you for taking and caring for these kitties. At least they knew love, full tummies, touch and warm bodies before they moved on. Take care of you and let the other kitties comfort you. They know. Laurie

He is my 6th in the past 9 months. I know that it is to be expected when you take in sickly street kids, but it doesn't help with the pain of losing any one of these wonderful creatures. . Zuckerman was a 2 week old kitten with a horrible URI when I found him. He quickly became a momma's boy, going to work with me during the day and holding paws through the carrier door at night. Once old enough to graduate from the carrier, he became quite the snuggler, curling up at my neck during the night. He loved to suckle earlobes and would launch himself off a piece of furniture onto any unsuspecting person who happened by in order to attach himself to one. I told him that he would have to stop because we couldn't have a 12 pound adult "catapulting" himself onto everyone. Guess I don't have to worry about that now, he was only 8 months old and less than 4 pounds at the end. We were holding paws when he left. It's been said before by all of us and unfortunately I know it will be said many more times, but I hate this freaking disease. _______________________________________________ Felvtalk mailing list Felvtalk@felineleukemia.org http://felineleukemia.org/mailman/listinfo/felvtalk_felineleukemia.org _______________________________________________ Felvtalk mailing list Felvtalk@felineleukemia.org http://felineleukemia.org/mailman/listinfo/felvtalk_felineleukemia.org
