Always remember We will be there even if you can't see us. We are always Watching and Waiting. That cool puff of air you feel across your cheek, that fleeting touch, the feeling you have that I was walking across your bed, that moment you swear you can hear us, that flicker of movement out of the corner of your eye. Is just our way of saying I love you and I am with you always even 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

MaryL - 09 May 2006 16:50 GMT > Unsubscribe 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.

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.

MaryL - 10 May 2006 21:57 GMT >> > >Unsubscribe >> > [quoted text clipped - 29 lines] > > -L. 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.

D. - 11 May 2006 01:21 GMT 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.

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.

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.
cybercat - 10 May 2006 20:44 GMT > > >Unsubscribe > > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > couldn't make such an admission without fearing verbal rebukes, > insults, or otherwise. 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.

Joe Canuck - 10 May 2006 15:30 GMT >> Unsubscribe > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > CMM 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.
Rhonda - 11 May 2006 04:30 GMT >>> Unsubscribe >> [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > 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.
