Dear Elizabeth,
I am so sorry for Mama Kitty's passing.  Her picture is just beautiful.  I
know she is
doing better now (rolling in the sun somewhere just as I pictured her on her
last day).
The hard part is knowing the pain that you, her kind, generous, loving
caretaker must struggle
with in her crossing.  Now I am picturing you, sitting with a cup of tea on
the porch in Mama's favorite
spot, feeling the warmth of the sun and knowing that it is really a big hug
from Mama and
all of us on this list.  Ok, now I have to go blow my nose...

Hugs,
Beth

Leslie, thank you.

By the time we got to the vets office, she was having really bad seizures
every few minutes.   She really did not know where she was.  She had lost
over a pound this week and her gums were just white.  The vet felt that she
was not getting enough oxygen to her brain.  She couldn't stand - she was
just like a little rag doll.  Her back was very sensitive - she was
obviously in pain - I am not sure why.  I talked to her.  She was ready to
go.  She didn't want to be kept alive by extreme measures only to waste away
and be in pain.  It was a very hard decision but I believe it was the right
one for her.  She was very close to death and she was gone in no more than a
second or two - she was very calm.

There is nothing I wouldn't have done for her - no matter how much it
cost...but no amount of money could have given her back her quality of
life.  I believe that to have kept going by extreme measures would have been
selfish of me.  She made it almost a year after her first crash with an
excellent quality of life.  This all happened so fast.

I am so glad she slept with me last night.  She knew that she was loved.
I am so grateful for the time we had together.

This is so very hard.  We had such a close bond.

Every day is a gift.
elizabeth

I'm so sorry for your loss Elizabeth. She knew love in your care, and died
knowing that someone really cared about her, and that's as much as any of us
can hope for. Peace to both of you.

Elizabeth,
   
  She was an absolutely beautiful girl. It is so encouraging to know she got 
through one crash. It gives others hope.
  I'm glad she got to be with you last night and to spend it with someone who 
loved her.

what a GREAT photo, and what a beautiful girl she is.

(but then, anyone who brought twelve kittens into the world would have to
have quite the mouth on her, wouldn't she, to keep some order)

another one, it's so painful to hear about your loss as I can feel your
pain so close to my heart.  Please know that your mama kitty is free
from all the pains now and her soul is right besides your heart.

You are surrounded by roses.  I covered your grave with tulips and apple

It hurts so much to say goodbye.  You will forever be alive in my heart.

Re: Good Bye Mama Kitty

[elizabeth trent]

Yes, Mama Kitty was quite pregnant when she chose this as her home.  The
little runt from that litter is Tori. Tori lives here with me and looks so
much like her mother.  Tori doesn't have feline leukemia.  I helped to birth
her and get her breathing - Mama Kitty was so exhausted at that point - I
would cut the cords and bring the last few babies up to her to clean them.
She was a wonderful Mommy.  Tori almost didn't make it but she was
determined.  "Tori" for short because she was 'Victorious" in her struggle
to live.  I helped to bottle feed her too - poor Mama just wasn't born with
enough feeding stations for everyone.  I see Mama Kitty everytime I look at
Tori.  Tori is a big, healthy girl now.

the purrs you heard were Mama comforting you, letting you know that she
will always be with you and that you did exactly the right thing, (not
just at the end of her life, but all along your journey together).  It
gives me comfort to think of her sunning herself on the porch; sleeping
with you; of how you were in tune enough with her to make sure she spent
her days the way she wanted to as best you could.  I think the way she
chose to transition was a gift to you.  She had quality time up until
the end, (even giving you warning as much as a year before to prepare
you and alert you to live in the moment with her), and when she was
ready, she expressed it in a way that could leave no doubt in your mind
that it was the right decision to help her pass.  What a loving little
soul she is.  I just want you to know that Mama kitty and your love for
each other has touched my heart.  Your sweet Angel lives with me too now.

Isn't she dear?  I'm she made you laugh -- she was one of God's little
angels.  When I buried her, I thanked God for sharing her with me and for
how precious that time was.

love never dies, it just changes form.

most of us have heard those purrs from away, and those

the corner of our eye

since no one can prove to me these things DIDN'T, or CAN'T happen, i choose
to believe that they do and can.

Marissa,  Thank you so much.  I know you are all going to think I am crazy
(if you didn't already) - but when I got home with Mama Kitty (I wouldn't
let them put her in the pet taxi - she always hated it)...I lifted her from
the front seat, wrapped in her towel, tears streaming down my face.  I swear
to you I heard several purrs.  I think it was just her way of letting me
know it was ok.

Re: Good Bye Mama Kitty

[elizabeth trent]

Leslie, thank you.

By the time we got to the vets office, she was having really bad seizures
every few minutes.   She really did not know where she was.  She had lost
over a pound this week and her gums were just white.  The vet felt that she
was not getting enough oxygen to her brain.  She couldn't stand - she was
just like a little rag doll.  Her back was very sensitive - she was
obviously in pain - I am not sure why.  I talked to her.  She was ready to
go.  She didn't want to be kept alive by extreme measures only to waste away
and be in pain.  It was a very hard decision but I believe it was the right
one for her.  She was very close to death and she was gone in no more than a
second or two - she was very calm.

There is nothing I wouldn't have done for her - no matter how much it
cost...but no amount of money could have given her back her quality of
life.  I believe that to have kept going by extreme measures would have been
selfish of me.  She made it almost a year after her first crash with an
excellent quality of life.  This all happened so fast.

I am so glad she slept with me last night.  She knew that she was loved.  I
am so grateful for the time we had together.

This is so very hard.  We had such a close bond.

Every day is a gift.

Re: Good Bye Mama Kitty

[elizabeth trent]

Thank you, Diana.  I just replied to Leslie explaining what happend.  She
went downhill very fast.  I knew that at some point last night she was
having more than one seizure an hour and I knew that was bad.  I had hoped
so much that this was something that could be controlled but it was not to
be.  I really think now that last summer when she had the seizure with the
pet tinic that it was more related to the disease.

Re: Mama Kitty - seizure

[elizabeth trent]

Thank you, Beth.  She stays inside almost all the time now, except when I'm
home and she is sunning on her porch.

She has continued to have these episodes throughout the night.  She slept
with me last night and I just don't know what is going on.  I'm going to
call the vet's as soon as they open.

It could just been some kind of terrible pain.  She starts breathing very
rapidly...lets out a low grown...then her eyes look really strange -- like
she is looking at a different world that I can't see...her breathing rapid
the whole time.  Then after so many seconds...she will be just like normal.
The past few episodes her legs didn't go straight out and all but she does
roll over on her side when this happens.

Hi Elizabeth,
So sorry to hear Mama Kitty had a seizure.  I haven't had time to write
anyone much lately, but I have tried to keep up with reading the list and
have followed what you've been going through with her.  It is weird, we had
lots of beautiful sunshine this afternoon and I was thinking of you two and
hoping that Mama Kitty was feeling good and strolling around your yard
enjoying it.  I could just picture her doing it.  I will be hoping things go
smoothly for you tomorrow.
I picked up a cat that had epilepsy once.  I was leaving a painting job
late one snowy night two years ago.  I was following the two black, rutted
tire tracks down the middle of a snowy road.  I thought I saw movement,
started to brake, then thought I'd imagined it but continued slowly.
A little dark brown tabby cat became visible walking slow and strange in the

Re: Mama Kitty - seizure

[Beth Noren]

Hi Elizabeth,
So sorry to hear Mama Kitty had a seizure.  I haven't had time to write
anyone much lately, but I have tried to keep up with reading the list and
have followed what you've been going through with her.  It is weird, we had
lots of beautiful sunshine this afternoon and I was thinking of you two and
hoping that Mama Kitty was feeling good and strolling around your yard
enjoying it.  I could just picture her doing it.  I will be hoping things go
smoothly for you tomorrow.
I picked up a cat that had epilepsy once.  I was leaving a painting job late
one snowy night two years ago.  I was following the two black, rutted tire
tracks down the middle of a snowy road.  I thought I saw movement, started
to brake, then thought I'd imagined it but continued slowly.  A little dark
brown tabby cat became visible walking slow and strange in the tire track.
I stopped, waited for it to move, but it stopped and looked at me with
absolute confusion on its face.  I parked, it came back and tried to go
under the car, I picked it up (wet on one side, smelled of urine) put it on
my front seat and it sat there without moving the whole 45 minutes to my
house.  At the house, it just sat in a ball upstairs with its eyes shut.
I thought it was dying, that it had already been hit by a car, called my
husband sobbing.  Maybe twenty minutes later, it opened its eyes and started
to explore everything and act like a regular cat.  I put a sign up in his
neighborhood the next day and the owner called, said he was epileptic, but
didn't usually go out of the yard.  We figure he seized, then didn't
remember where he was or which identical looking snowy driveway was his.
Guess my point is be careful with her outside if she has more seizures,
I think you are rural and maybe don't have to worry about cars, but it can
be so easy for them to get confused out there.  Hope this was ideopathic and
it won't happen again.  It is so scary.

Big hugs,
Beth

I'm worried about Mama Kitty this morning.  
   
  She was diagnosed almost a year ago - and rebounded very well with Acemannan. 
 She's had a wonderful year, is at a healthy weight, and had practically 
reverted to kittenhood!
   
  I noticed last night though that she didn't seem to be eating.  This morning 
she just seemed very lethargic to me - almost like a rag doll in my arms.  When 
I let her outside - she went straight to some red clay dirt I recently dug and 
was eating that.  Seems like I read here on the list that this is called 
'Pica'.  My first thought was that red clay contains a lot of iron and so 
perhaps she was trying to get a nutrient she needed.  She ate some grass too.  
She really started to stress when I tried to look at her gums and so I didn't 
push it.  I suspect she may be beginning to get anemic though...I just have a 
feeling. 
   
  Last time she crashed (when she was first diagnosed) - that nictating 
membrane was showing in her eyes and she had lost a good bit of weight (down to 
7lbs).  Her eyes look good now - she just seems sleepy - and her weight seems 
good from what I can tell.  It could be that she is just fighting a URI or some 
kind of infection.  It's so much harder for them to fight off these things when 
they have FeVL+. 
   
  I got her to eat a couple of bites of food before I left for work.  I put her 
in her favorite chair before I left too because as lethargic as she seems, she 
would hardly be able to defend herself if a big dog came by and wanted to 
harrass her.  
   
  Called the vet a bit ago and they will see her at 4pm.  Maybe I am just being 
paranoid but with this disease I'm not taking any chances.  Please send prayers 
and good vibes our way.

Oh Honey, go ahead and get excited!!  Such a wonderful progress report!  
I agree with you completely about granting her as many wishes as you 
can.  Such a nice image; picturing her out on the porch in the fading 
light grooming her kitty self.  These are the images we hold in our 
hearts, no matter what the future brings.  You can't see it, but I'm 
grinning.  I'm going to go smooch one of my babies in her honor,

I have nothing but good things to report today.  Mama Kitty /almost/

has more stamina and she is very alert.  Yesterday she wasn't steady 
on her feet and had to rest every few feet if she wanted to change

kat business (she's never accepted the liter box as a way of life) and 
she didn't have to lie down once along the way.
 
(I keep her inside during the day and I bring her in at

She did have a bite of red clay from the front yard deli this morning

than I do.  She /just/ ate some dry food and some fancy feast!  Not a

of her.  I didn't even have to coax!  It's almost time for her 
transdermal doxy so I'll bring her inside soon -- I just know that 
every day is prescious and she needs her time to soak in all the 
sights and sounds.
 
She wanted very much to rule the front porch when I got home and I saw 
no reason why she couldn't since she is so good about staying within 
our property bounds.  She loved watching the sprinkler going around 
and caught the last hour or so of sun for kitty sunbathing.  What

had to rest every few feet if she wanted to change locations.  Today,
however, she went outside twice on offical kitty kat business (she's never
accepted the liter box as a way of life) and she didn't have to lie down
once along the way.

(I keep her inside during the day and I bring her in at bedtime...which is a
big transition for her being an outside kitty at heart.)

She did have a bite of red clay from the front yard deli this morning and
tonight - but I figure she probaby knows what she needs better than I do.
She *just* ate some dry food and some fancy feast!  Not a lot -- but she had
some dainty bites of each and so I am so very proud of her.  I didn't even
have to coax!  It's almost time for her transdermal doxy so I'll bring her
inside soon -- I just know that every day is prescious and she needs her
time to soak in all the sights and sounds.

She wanted very much to rule the front porch when I got home and I saw no
reason why she couldn't since she is so good about staying within our
property bounds.  She loved watching the sprinkler going around and caught
the last hour or so of sun for kitty sunbathing.  What really encouraged me
was that she is grooming herself.  That is always a good sign.

Thank you so much to everyone for the love, care and well wishes.

Re: Mama Kitty - back from the vet's just now

[Nina]

Elizabeth,
I wish I could reach out and give you and Mama Kitty hugs and kisses, 
(hugs for you, kisses for Mama Kitty :-) ).  I'm so glad she's feeling 
better and that her temp is down!  Now that she's getting her Acemannan 
shots, I'm hoping she'll bounce back quickly.  You two must have such a 
tight bond, you've been through so much together.  I'm absolutely 
positive she knows you are her partner in life, that she appreciates, 
(even if she doesn't always like the form it takes), all that you do to 
help her stay strong and healthy.  Blessings to you guys and your whole 
household.  I think the boys respect the fact that she's recovering and 
they won't pick on her until she feels better.

Much love,
Nina

I knew Mama was feeling a bit better this afternoon because she did 
put up some protest about going to the vet's today.  They took her 
temperature and her fever is gone!  She got more fluids today. 
 
She was more vocal today -- that is much more like her.  Instead of 
taking us to one of the patient rooms - they took us straight back to 
where they do procedures and surgery.  I've been going there a long 
time so I guess they know I'm not going to get in the way.  Dr. Reid 
is a wonder about giving those shots that go through the skin and 
directly into the stomach.  The vet tech holds her standing up and he 
does the shot.  My doctor said that actually a shot like this is less 
painful than one that goes under the skin -- he explained about why 
and the nerves in the skin, etc. 
 
We're scheduled every Wednesday for the next month or so to come in 
for one of these shots. 
 
Maybe it is my imagination - but I could swear that by the time we got 
home - Mama was feeling even better.  The first thing she did was have 
a few bites of salmon.
 
Dr. Reid is concerned about her drinking enough water so I will be 
keeping an eye on that.  He recommends making ice cubes from chicken 
stock (not the low sodium kind)you put the ice cube in a bowl or 
plate for them.  They can play with it - but also they won't drink it 
too fast.  My understanding is that the sodium in the broth makes them 
more thirsty and so they will drink more water.  (I don't think you 
should use stock that is made with onions because anything from the 
allium family is taboo for kitties).
 
So - thanks for everyone who sent well wishes and thought of us.  I am 
cautiously optimistic.  Mama Kitty is on the porch sunbathing (since 
mean ol' mommy made her stay inside today while she was away).  We'll 
keep you posted.

Something like that.  The only reason I know this is
because I had a breast cancer scare this past summer,
and the spot on the mammogram turned out to be
necropsied tissue, probably from an old sports injury.
I was relieved that's all it was.

Something like that.  The only reason I know this is
because I had a breast cancer scare this past summer,
and the spot on the mammogram turned out to be
necropsied tissue, probably from an old sports injury.
 I was relieved that's all it was.

My husband is the pet whisperer, I've decided.  He
finds lost animals.  It's the most uncanny thing. 
Tonight our neighbor's dogs got out, and they couldn't
find them.  So after we ate dinner, my husband says
out of the blue that he'd like to try to go find the
dogs, and I'll be damned if we didn't find them in our
car within five minutes.  The back of my car is very
muddy, but I don't care.  I'm so happy they are home.

Re: Mama Kitty - back from the vet's just now

[elizabeth trent]

I sure am!  Thanks, Wendy.

Mama is inside now in her favorite chair.  I let her sit on the porch until
past dark -- she just loves all the sights, sounds, and scents.  She was an
outdoor kitty for so long...I'm assuming before she lived here and for the
longest after she took up residence here.

The first time she started living inside -- she'd had a terrible bite from a
feral...I'm thinking this may be how she got FeVL+ in the first place.  She
had to have two surgeries...her incision had a drain out of either end of
the incision with the first operation...then she had to have the second
surgery because some of the tissue had necrotized (did I just make up that
word?).  We (vet's office and I) had a devil of a time even identifying the
points of the bite in the first place until it got very infected.  A big
ordeal for her and for me.

She learned to live inside at that time because she just felt so bad - and
she knew I was taking care of her...it wasn't for several months that she
had her first crash and we learned that she had FeVL+.

She's being a good sport about spending her days indoors.  When she is
healthy, I don't mind having her sun on the porch all day.  She won't leave
the porch except to visit the mulch around the roses (strictly on kitty cat
business)...but in her state now - I would never forgive myself if one of
the neighborhood dogs tried to harass her .  She simply would not be able to
defend herself in such a weakened state.  Yesterday and today she really
hasn't had much strength to sit upright...though I did see her sit up a
couple of times this afternoon which is a big improvement from yesterday.

She's taking it all in stride.  I may be wacko (yeah -- I know) - but
somehow it seems that she understands why things are this way.  She's very
alert tonight and very vocal - which is encouraging.  I am so glad that the
inside 'pride' is not giving her a hard time (read as 'shakiti' is minding
his manners!'.)  LOL  This could change at any moment thoughboys will be
boys, I suppose.

Hangin' in...

Re: Mama Kitty

I am so sorry to hear that about JoJo, Hideyo.  Am I remembering correctly -
isn't JoJo your dog?  Do you still have him?

We didn't have any problems last summer when we first started using this
drug but it does look like it could be a very tricky type of injection to
give.

I just talked to my vet's office -- the Acemannan is already here so we go

I didn't see her drink water last night or this morning.  They said that she
might not be thirsty for about 12 hours after the fluids but that they will
probably give her more fluids  today.

Thank you, Wendy.  I don't know if the Acemannan is specifically for anemia
pe se but it seemed to help so much last time.

I am cautiously optimistic.  She had several good bites of salmon last night
and this morning.

Mama Kitty had a few good bites of Salmon a bit ago and she purred for the

Last year, when I first took Mama Kitty in and found out that she was
FeVL+, she weighed about 7lbs.  She was so anemic that they didn't want to
take her blood.  She had no fever and so they thought this was a very grave
situation because her body wasn't even fighting and they recommended that we
say goodbye.  After steroids, antibiotics, vitamin B12 and Acemannan, she
was like a new kitty...even playing with her toys and chasing the laser.

Mama Kitty has had a bit of a crash today, however.  She didn't even
protest when I put her in the pet taxi - so I know she did not feel well.
She had a temperature of 104.  Weighed 9lbs.  She was dehydrated.

They did a full blood panel on her - she is very anemic.  When they picked
her up to weigh her, she 'leaked' some very concentrated urine and so they
aspirated her bladder and did a urinalysis too.  Her liver enzymes are
slighly elevated but they didn't seem to think that was serious.

They gave her fluids, a Vitamin B12, a Benz-Dex shot, and an antibiotic
shot (all in one so she only got stuck once) and then they called the
compounding pharmacy and got them to make a transdermal gel of doxycycline
and prednison.  They ordered the Acemannan while I was there and it should
be here in a couple of days.

I have some conflicting stats here -- the vet told me that her
hematacrit(sp) was about 17 and a half - but this printout I have says HTC
is 10.6%.  I sure hope this print-out is wrong.  I know they ran the test
more than once.  They also tested again for FeVL+ has she has a faint
positive.  Her RBC is 2.35LR1 (normal is 5-11)...Hb is 4.6L (normal is
8-15).  Her white blood cell counts are moderately low.

It isn't what you want to hear but I do think we are far better off than
we were when I took her in last summer.  The fluids made her feel a little
better and she ate a few bites of chicken hearts and liver.  The vet
recommended that I try to encourage her to eat.  He wanted to give her Pet
Tinnic but there is just no way that Mama Kitty will tolerate that.

I am very glad that my vet is willing to help in any way he can.  He's
come a long way from recommending that Mama be PTS last summer.  She's had a
wonderful quality of life since the Acemannan and I am hoping we can help
her through this rough spot.

She's resting comfortably now and is perkier than when I took her in this
afternoon.  She's getting love of love.

Thank you for your kind thoughts and prayers.
elizabeth and Mama Kitty

Sounds like you caught this in time, so hopefully Mama Kitty will pull through 
this rough spot.  It's too bad our kitties don't show signs of being sick until 
they are really sick.

It sounds like Mama Kitty is in good hands, i'm sending prayers your way.

MC, I'm so grateful for my vet.  Even if we do live in the middle of nowhere
in Alabama, I think it was very insightful for him to order the transdermal
antibiotics with prednisone.  A little extra expense and trouble but I think
it was worth it.  Mama Kitty wasn't exactly what I would have called feral -
but she lived outside on her own roaming around for a good while before she
chose this as her home and she's not at all comfortable with taking
medicine.  With this transdermal gel, while I'm rubbing her I just massage
the medicine into her ear (with one of those finger cots so that I'm not the
one absorbing it) - and it is totally stress-free for her.

I figured she was a bit chilly with that fever so I warmed up some towels in
the dryer and covered her.  She seems to like that.  She seems a lot more
alert since I brought her home - I know those fluids really helped.  I would
never have guessed that she was so dehydrated because I saw her drinking
water.  I also got some rescue rememdy for her since we're going to be
making weekly trips with the treatment and I'm have some lavender scented
oil going in there to help make her calm.

According to our best guess, Mama Kitty should be 4 years old this summer.
We are totally guessing though.  When she decided to live here -- she just
wander up, took residence and then had 12 (count them - TWELVE) babies.
(that's how she got her name).  She was the BEST mommy -- she took excellent
care of those babies.  I have the little runt of the litter now --
Tori...and they do not get along.  Isn't that just like a mother and
daughter? :0)

Trying to take deep breaths here.  I'm going to call the vet tomorrow to see
if I can get some clarification on these HCT numbers.  10.6 is scary low.
Her gums weren't nearly as pale as they were the first time I brought her in
though.  I am hanging on to the hope that we have caught this early and that
she has time and good nutrition on her side.

Oh - one thing I did ask about today was if they did transfusions and if
they had success doing that with cats.  The vet tech's eyes lit up (I think
she is tops) and said that she is an expert with that and that this has
saved a lot of lives.  She said something I didn't realize -- that with cats
- you only get one chance to transfuse before you have to have a perfect
match (this is not the case with dogs)...but they have this product they use
(can't remember the name but it begins with 'oxy')..and with this product,
they don't have to have an exact match and that it does an excellent job of
transferring oxygen through the blood, etc.  I was very glad to hear this.
I don't know if we will ever resort to such measures but it is very
comforting to know that they are set up to do it and that they have a high
success rate.

Sorry - this is such a long book - but the vet tech today told me that at
least in this area - one in every seven cats has FeVL+.  That seems like a
very high number.

   Hi All,
  There is actually something that I think is better than Pet Tinic, it's
called Nutrived, it *doesn't* have the corn syrup that Pet Tinic does and
it *DOES* have the folic acid that's needed to build blood.  Fred
currently gets it for his anemia.

I buy it here:
