Re: How is Samantha today?
I'm so sorry for your loss of sweet Samantha. Re cleaning, when the virus hits the air it dies. Cats won't pick up the virus from the anything in the house or the air. I'd do a normal wash and dry of the food dishes, and change the litter box. gloria On Jun 30, 2006, at 4:21 PM, Julia Hagstrom wrote: Thanks, everyone, for all the support.

I have read from others that they typically do a thorough cleaning and either throw out toys (or keep them for keepsakes, but not other cats). I personally live with 4 FeLV+ cats and 6 negatives (and that number has been variable depending on rescue and losing cats for whatever reason) and do not separate anything (not food bowls, water, litter pans) but have never had a negative cat turn/become positive so I think the chances of any transfer, esp. after the affected cat has passed (and I'm sorry for your loss), is minimal.

Thanks for your good wishes; she told me last night that she is ready to go. She is in a lot of pain, with her big eyes looking up at me, as if to say, Please, help me! I decided this morning that tomorrow is the time to let her go. I'll take her to my vet, and it will be swift and painless. She'll be free to breathe again, without working so hard at it, and will never have pain again. :( I'll be crying, but I know it's the best thing for her; I've already made the arrangements, and she'll be well taken care of. Thank you all for your support, and I will stay on the Email list, because I'm going to get another kitty right away, so as not to be alone, and reading y'all's Emails has given me an education, so I'll still need that, until I make sure my new kitty is safe from this terrible disease.

Re: How is Samantha today?
Julia, God bless you and Samantha. I wish I had known more about this disease at the time of Sasha's passing so I could have saved him from more suffering. I know Samantha loves you very much.

Re: How is Samantha today?
Spend tonight loving her and cuddling her in your heart. You can send her all sorts of love without moving her or causing her pain. Just be with her and tell her it is alright to leave this world. That you are going to be ok. She may well decide to leave tonight on her own but she needs to know that is ok with you and .well, she is very concerned about you and your welfare. She needs permission to leave this body and needs to know that you know she will remain around in spirit. 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.
