She is on her way to the ER with him. > Please please start right now and join me in a newsgroup-wide collective purr > for Cheryl's Shadow. She is on her way to the ER with him. Shadow is such a courageous cat, he deserves all the purrs we can muster. My thoughts are with them. Jeanette Oh No! Purrring hard here. Christine, Omar, Oreo, Midnight, Robin & Tucker > Please please start right now and join me in a newsgroup-wide collective purr > for Cheryl's Shadow. She is on her way to the ER with him. I just found her emailing. Big prayers and purrs. I hope this is not as bad as she thinks :(((( > Please please start right now and join me in a newsgroup-wide collective purr > for Cheryl's Shadow. She is on her way to the ER with him. >Please please start right now and join me in a newsgroup-wide collective purr >for Cheryl's Shadow. Absolutely!! The very best purrs and good wishes we can muster. Sincerest hopes that all goes well. Jeanne Thank you guys. Shadow is gone. I can't type much right now through the tears but he'd lost too much blood, ruptured something in his gut, ulcer or something else. I'm going to miss him so much, he's been through so much and now he doesn't have to fight anymore. Mainly Im so mad at the ER because they turned us away and I had to wait for his regular TED. I don't think the ER could have done anything, but waiting was just so helpless and I knew he was dying.  SignatureCheryl >Thank you guys. Shadow is gone.

My son replaced my modem last night and I can now access the newsgroups. Purrs for all those in sorrow. MLB Sending many purrs for you, Cheryl, in your time of sorrow. I didn't see anything in the posts about Shadow being ill recently until today and don't know what happened to him. He was a wonderful cat. In the fine newsgroup "rec.pets.cats.anecdotes", "Pat" <spam.me.not.pdavis@fidnet.com> artfully composed this message within <news:XsSdnTZZlu_msmndRVn-sA@fidnet.com> on 13 Jul 2004: > Sending many purrs for you, Cheryl, in your time of sorrow. > > I didn't see anything in the posts about Shadow being ill > recently until today and don't know what happened to him. He was > a wonderful cat. Sorry, Pat, I couldn't elaborate until now. Many here who read a couple of years ago know Shadow's history. He abruptly stopped eating 2 years ago May, and had to have a feeding tube when he got hepatic lipidosis. I had them do a biopsy, and he was diagnosed with IBD (inflammatory bowel disease, sort of like Crohn's disease in people). There were many many complications during his feeding tube treatment, and he had to have a transfusion which it turned out was from a donor cat who was positive with feline leukemia. Shadow tested positive in subsequent tests, and it was determined he was persistantly infected. So the treatment for feline leukemia to boost the immune system was the opposite of what his bowel disease needed because IBD is an auto-immune disease, immune system on overload. The treatment for the IBD was prednisone, a steroid which suppresses the immune system, opposite what the feline leukemia needed. Catch 22. He's been hanging in there for a while and mostly ok; playing a little, good appetite, a little too good, had certain things that made him happy. I only wanted to keep him comfortable with whatever time he had left. He showed me time and time again that he wanted to live. Even this morning he tried to eat because the prednisone made him hungry all the time and he lived for his little bit of dry food. When he didn't, that is a big red flag something is wrong. Then I found the blood. Then he started drifting off. Then more blood. Then I saw it in his eyes that he was ready to go. No matter how much you think you prepare yourself, it never works. :( SignatureCheryl > In the fine newsgroup "rec.pets.cats.anecdotes", "Pat" > < No matter how much you think you prepare > yourself, it never works. :( The day it becomes an easy thing, or not so bad, is the day something is truly wrong. You did good by Shadow his whole life (((((Cheryl))))))) and it was a good life. Kareb Cheryl. I am so sorry for your loss, you gave Shadow a great life. Condolences and purrs coming your way.

We'll light a candle for Shadow this evening, so when he looks down for the Bridge he'll know another somebody is thinking about him. Yowie > He abruptly stopped > eating 2 years ago May < snip > Poor baby! With all these illnesses befalling cats (and d*gs) I can't help wondering what the pet food companies are putting in the food we buy for our fur kids. OMG, I'm sooooo sorry. Purrs from me, Imp and Mischief for your loss Kristi >leukemia needed. Catch 22. He's been hanging in there for a while >and mostly ok; playing a little, good appetite, a little too good, [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] >that he was ready to go. No matter how much you think you prepare >yourself, it never works. :( This is such a sad story. You did so much for Shadow. When I look at a cat, I wonder how something so beautiful could possibly ever die. But then, I think that when I was put on this Earth, it was probably to replace another person who had died, and that someday, I'll die and be replaced, and it's true for cats, too. Still, it's so very sad when it ends. > Thank you guys. Shadow is gone.

I don't think the ER could have done anything, but > waiting was just so helpless and I knew he was dying. Oh, Cheryl, I am so sorry. You have been through an incredible amount of pain the last couple of years, but I hope it helps you to know that you did everything you possibly could for Shadow. He had a much better and longer life because of you. (The staff of that ER deserves to be fired!) MaryL >Thank you guys. Shadow is gone.

Shadow is not in good hands at the RB, all the rpca kitties are comforting and showing him around. He will wait for you there. Take care of yourself. Victor > at the RB, > all the rpca kitties are comforting and showing him around. I'd like to thank you all. I kept this quote from Victor because it is comforting. I've posted a pic of him in alt.binaries.pictures.animals as a tribute. I will miss my lovable boy. He was the one that would headbutt me when I cry. Sing to me. Purr like crazy when he got combed, which he did last night. He might not have been a playful cat, but he had such lovable attributes that made me want to do anything for him. I told him a while back I wouldn't subject him to TEDs and tests, and surgeries, and "let's try this" anymore after what he went through 2 years ago. People told me I would know when after all this, and you were right. He told me. His eyes told me. SignatureCheryl > > at the RB, > > all the rpca kitties are comforting and showing him around.

They really do know how to tell us when its OK and when its time don't they. Doesn't exactly make it easier, but they really do know how to tell us when they need help with one last thing. Jo > > at the RB, > > all the rpca kitties are comforting and showing him around.

Joy Purrs for Shadow,so sorry to hear of his passing All these sad stories make me cry. My son rang up yesterday to tell me he couldn't get over to take me to the transport offices until today and I said ok he asked me why so sad about it then, and I told him I wasn't, well you sound sad, he replied, Oh! Ive just been reading some sad cat stories on r.p.c.a. they make me cry Lots of purrs for you too Jean.P. > > > at the RB, > > > all the rpca kitties are comforting and showing him around.

How sad though, another Kitty to the RB. But it was the kindest thing to do for Shadow. Even if it breaks our hearts, putting a suffering animal out of pain is the right thing to do if they cannot truly be helped.
