Re: Geroge's passing
Oh, Hideyo, I am so sorry to hear that George has left you. Feral cats can just break our hearts when we have to make decisions about whether to offer them treatment. I am going through that now with Paulie and I know how difficult it was for you with George. Please know that he couldn't have had a better home than with you. Take care of yourself and picture George happy and healthy, napping peacefully on a soft, fluffy cloud.

Re: Geroge's passing
That's very sweet of George to try and calm your fears about death, have to admit it is kind of scary being the unknown. I guess those that have the ability to communicate with those in the spirit world would see death differently since it wouldn't be unknown to them. -- Belinda Happiness is being owned by cats ...

Re: Geroge's passing
You can. Honest. But you have to give yourself
time to recover. I didn't believe I could talk to Mai Mai but I
do.I understand why she had to leave and how much she loves me and she
knows how much I love her. When it came time for Kitty to come live
with me (she lived with my parents until my father died and then --several years
later--Mom didn't feel she could take care of her) I asked Mai Mai, in total
desperation, to help Kitty adjust. Kitty didn't want to live with me at
all and hid under the couches for almost 3 months before she came out. My
AC told me I was frightening to her. I slept on the floor with her for so
very long, as I had with Mai Mai during an extended
illness--every thing I could think of to get her to adjust. Mai
Mai came thru like you would not believe. Kitty had clawed her big time
when she (a feral) moved in with my parents so Mai Mai was not fond of her at
all. She still helloed Kitty adjust. She has been close to me every
day and will come back to me soon. You have to accept the fact that you
can not explain everything--that there are things much greater than you and your
understanding but that they do exist. Talk to your AC and see if she can
help you. Mine did. Feel him near you. He is there. It
is too soon for you to accept this. Ask him to send you a sign when you
have the AC talk with him again or ask him yourself in a little while--when you
are ready. Animal communications is not for a select few. It is
for those with open, willing hearts. You obviously have such a heart or
you would not have cared for this wonderful soul.

One more thing, check with
George in a few weeks after he has had time to rest up. Bet he will
tell you that you did everything just right and that it was his time to
leave.but that you gave him love and security, not pain or fear, while
he was with you. He may decide to come back to you in this lifetime of
yours. You never know. Often, after they leave, they just need

RE: Geroge's passing
Thank you again for your kind words.. I know what you mean about feral! I love feral – but at the same time.. I love all the cats.. I am just a sucker and that’s why I ended up with so many.. but they brighten my day every day when I wake up.. I am just lucky to have met all of them..

Re: Geroge's passing
One more thing, check with George in a few weeks after he has had time to rest up. Bet he will tell you that you did everything just right and that it was his time to leave.but that you gave him love and security, not pain or fear, while he was with you. He may decide to come back to you in this lifetime of yours. You never know. Often, after they leave, they just need time to rest and adjust. It is very different "living" where you don't ever want for anything and where you are healthy and young. - Original Message - From: Hideyo Yamamoto To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Sent: Wednesday, September 07, 2005 12:49 PM Subject: Geroge's passing Hi, my beloved George whom I rescued two month ago crossed the bridge yesterday he had a very labored breathing for the past few days, the vet felt that he was having a hard time overcoming URI due to the compromised immune system from FIV he had been so well, he had a very good appetite.. but he never could really gain weight.

RE: Geroge's passing
One very important advise that George gave to me is that he told me not be fearful of “death” – he said that it’s not the worst thing that could happen.. He feels wonderful now… and he feels free from the boy which was no longer working for him..he told me that “death” is not an end.. it’s only the transitional and beginning of a new life.. and he would like me to find a peace in “death”….
