Re: [Felvtalk] Just tested positive
ALL OF MY FURBABIES ARE BURIED IN MY YARD, BEGINNING TO RUN OUT OF CEMETARIES AFTER 34 YEARS. BECAUSE THEY ARE "STILL" WITH ME, I CAN GO OUT AND VISIT WITH THEM WHENEVER I FEEL LOST. IT HELPS SOME. I NEVER HAVE STOPPED MISSING THEM AND CAN SEE THEM IN MY MIND'S EYE. I SWORE THE FIRST TIME I WOULD NEVER ADOPT AGAIN, BUT THEN ONE SHOWS UP OR THE VET TELLS ME ABOUT ONE THAT NEEDS A HOME. I AM A SUCKER FOR LOST CAUSES AND ANIMALS SO I TAKE THEM IN. THEY NEVER TAKE THE PLACE OF THE ONES LOST, JUST MOVE INTO THE ROOM IN MY HEART NEXT TO THEIR'S. GOT LOSTS OF ROOMS IN MY HEART.

Re: [Felvtalk] Just tested positive
I think I might be in the same boat. My family has had many cats, and I loved them all, but Ember was *my* first and only cat. It’s so strange that’s she’s been gone for two months, and that everything at the end happened so fast. I’m sure I’ll adopt again, but Ember was special. Her loyalty, love, sensitivity, and intelligence were unique. I’m saddened that I’ll never get to hold her, kiss her, or talk to her again. She was one of the best friends I’ve ever had.

Re: [Felvtalk] Just tested positive
I know exactly what you mean by, 'cat of a lifetime'. My yang was absolutely that for me. I looked at pictures of her today without crying, but sometimes I hate the fact that I'll never get to see her again.

Re: [Felvtalk] Just tested positive
First off, Thank you all so much for your condolences. Smoosh was absolutely a 'cat of a lifetime' in every way (and every day), and losing her has rocked me to my core. My vet, Dr Stan Avezov of Pasadena Pets Hospital in Pasadena, CA could not have been any more wonderful with her, and supportive of us. He is compassionate and understanding to the nth degree, and I would never hesitate for a moment to advocate for him. We have financial limitations (Smoosh and Brynn were supposed to be weekend/temp fosters through a rescue until they tested + and their long term situations bailed on them) but he has consistently worked with us always for the greatest good for the girls throughout their lives. He also is absolutely my 'go to' for my other kitties as well, and we are kinda 'the Island of Misfit Toys' at my house. I have a kidney survivor, a senior, a cripple and a diabetic... Brynn continues to thrive with his help and guidance, although she really misses her Smoosh, as do I. I wish everyone had a vet like Dr Stan.

Re: [Felvtalk] Just tested positive
WE ONCE had to board our poodle for a month when we went on a trip. When I picked her up, she was so hysterical that she could not calm down until she had seen all 3 of us and she would not let us out of her sight for days. I was really afraid she was going to have a heart attack so I took her by my mother's work and my father's so she could see we were all there. We swore that wew would never go anywhere unless she could go with us from that time on.

Re: [Felvtalk] Just tested positive
i HAVE HEARD SO MANY STORIES OF VETS DOING THIS. IT SEEMS THEY DON'T WANT TO BOTHER TREATING POSITIVES. MAYBE THEY DON'T THINK THE OWNERS WILL WANT TO DEAL WITH THE EXPENSE OR TIME TO TREAT THEM, BUT THAT SHOULD BE LEFT UP TO THE OWNER TO DECIDE, NOT THE VET. ESPECIALLY, IF PETA IS DOING FREE SPAYS/NEUTERS, DO NOT TAKE YOUR ANIMALS TO THEM. I KNOW OF ONE INSTANCE WHERE THEY EUTHANIZED THE CATS WITHOUT EVER NOTIFYING THE OWNER. IT IS STANDARD PROCEEDURE WITH THEM. WHEN I GOT ANNIE, SHE HAD BEEN THROUGH A LOT OF STRESS AND SUDDENLY TESTED POSITIVE . DR. RHODES SAID I HAD 2 CHOICES: EUTHANIZE OR WAIT AND SEE WHAT HAPPENED.
