in the darkest time We Will Always Be There. Till our paws touch again
always know we love you and cherished our special time together

Ditto. It is hard to lose a loved one.

I'm so sorry.  Our cats really are family, and many people do not understand
how painful it is to lose one of our dearly-loved furbabies.  People on this
group are the exception, though.  We all understand that pain, and most of
us have been through it.

Very sorry to hear that.
Despite some of the "issues" that others have raised, it
sounded like she had a loving owner, was well cared for,
and had a pretty good life.
I know that this will be a very tough day for you.

I'm guessing that won't happen.  Kami had been in poor health for
sometime now, and I would bet that she had to be pts.  Given how people
have reacted to Brandy's treatment of Kami in the past (I probably said
a bad word or two, as well, though I don't remember doing so), she
couldn't make such an admission without fearing verbal rebukes,
insults, or otherwise.  It's such a shame, because I'm sure Brandy
really did love Kami, and it would be helpful for her to unload some of
her sorrow here.

I, too, offer my condolences to Brandy, and I hope she has the occasion
to subscribe again.

No one here would argue that euthanizing a sick, elderly cat was wrong.
I think all of the people here have the welfare of cats at heart.

I don't understand the "unsubscribe" comment - yeah, unsubscribe since
you won't be participating any more, but why post the death notice and
then skeedaddle?  If you're gonna unsubscribe, unsubscribe and just go.
Doesn't make much sense.  Unless she's really lurking to read
commentary and then leaves - in that case, I would have written up more
than just a death notice.  Whatever.  I feel sorry that she lost Kami -
losing a friend after that many years hurts.

I feel the same way.  Most of us have had to have a sick or elderly cat
euthanized, and that is an act of love -- not something that any reasonable
person would (or should) criticize.  I have had to face that heartwrenching
experience twice, and many on this group have had to do it far more often.
It is a hearbreaking decision -- but an act of love, as I said.  I think we
can all feel sympathy for someone who faces that sad time.

Sorry to hear about Kami. It's hard to realise that furry face isn't
coming back, and it really doesn't get any easier.

Absolutely. This is where differences end.  It breaks my heart when any cat
dies.
Nancy Lee - 12 May 2006 14:40 GMT
I took it upon myself to contact Brandy via email, and give her my
condolences.  She replied that she was hesitant to check the group, for fear
of getting 'blasted' by those that had blasted her in the past, but *was*
curious, but then again, with no cat, she really had no reason to stay any
longer (hence the "unsubscribe" comment).

I told her that, for the most part, people had set aside their differences
and were sending out their condolences, although there were some mentions
about the way she was treated in the past, most people thought it 'tactless'
to do so now (and I, for one, commend you *all* for that).

Then she explained to me that Kami had had yet another UTI, the vet said
that, yes, he could get her over it, but with her failing health and the
increasing frequency of the recurring UTI's, Brandy and the vet agreed that
Kami's quality of life just wouldn't be the same, and so they euthanized
her.

She misses her terribly.

She gave me permission to post this information.

While we may disagree on some issues, we are certainly united in our
expression of sadness over this event.

There does come a time, difficult as it may be, that a decision needs to
be made... those who are in a position to know best make that decision
and we certainly respect their judgment and share their grief over it.

Blasting someone for declawing her cat and stating that she had no
regrets about doing so is very far removed from blasting someone
for having a sick old cat euthanized. Nobody here would do that.

I was mystified by the Unsubscribe until I read the subject and realized
Kami had died. I know you had said she had been in poor health but I had
thought she had gotten better. My condolences.

That was her way of letting us all know she wasn't going to read any of
the follow up comments in here. I suppose she may have been anticipating
the worst, but then again I can understand someone dropping out of the
regular stream of things for a few days after that.

I don't think she dropped out in anticipation of judgments about her
decision, if it was a decision.

I can understand her reason not to stay if she doesn't have cats -- this
is not a group to hang around for the ambiance and warm fuzzies.
