That's pretty much what happened to our...Erin,<br /><br />That's pretty much what happened to our Spooky -- she had a domino thing going. First, the inability to produce antibodies, then internal bleeding (which caused her blindness), followed by kidneys that were failing and anemia. When the vet said the next thing on the menu would be seizures, we decided it was time to let her go; she'd had enough. <br /><br />Isn't it wild how quiet it becomes without a cat around? I just hate it. We have a house, although it's not a big one. We've decided we have a 2-cat minimum in these lodgings, but 2 is plenty. It's just a matter of when Bookfool will feel up to looking at kittens. Kiddo is so anxious to get new fur friends that he can hardly bear the wait. I don't think it will be long. I hope you're able to move somewhere big enough for kitties, soon!!!Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-697524128229248342010-01-26T13:52:09.966-06:002010-01-26T13:52:09.966-06:00I, too, am suffering a home void of kitties.

I am now contemplating rescuing a couple of new kitties, but I live in a studio and don't have the space they need. I hope to move soon and when I do I'll get some new purrmeisters. You don't realize it at the time, but they really do fill a void. :)Erin in Bostonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02126848857633060909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-90043826772501690632010-01-25T18:16:40.366-06:002010-01-25T18:16:40.366-06:00Michelle,

We'd had our Spooky since Kiddo was 2 years old (he's 18), so he's really pushing for kittens. He can't stand it, either. Love your kitty's name. :)<br /><br />You must have read this post in a reader and it didn't update because I actually have an update saying Zoe died, in the middle of this post. It sounds like her death was a lot worse than Spooky's. Spooky was also put to sleep because she'd hit that domino phase of terminal illness, when things just keep getting worse. It went so, so fast. Unbelievably fast. I wondered if maybe it had to do with the fact that there were so many different things wrong with her, but it was a mercy that she was gone in seconds. It seems to have dragged on a bit with Zoe.Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-24629122571845915072010-01-25T18:09:32.970-06:002010-01-25T18:09:32.970-06:00I don't know what I'd do without a cat in ...I don't know what I'd do without a cat in the house. If something ever happened to my Hamlet... Well, it wouldn't be pretty, I'll say that much.<br /><br />As a side note, though, Zoe actually died this afternoon, Monday. The vet went to Neil's house and euthanized her. Here's his post on it. I know I've been crying on and off for a few days as I've read all of his Zoe posts.<br /><br />http://journal.neilgaiman.com/2010/01/and-in-end.html?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitterMichellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03031333610996926579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-91317744065437839192010-01-25T14:52:48.574-06:002010-01-25T14:52:48.574-06:00Amy,

He hopped into the car and said, "To Jackson!" when I picked him up from school, today. I'm a little relieved that the place we've decided to go is a rescue, so you have to call in advance. I was not prepared. Kiddo seems to think they'll help me heal, but I want to give myself just a little space to mourn.Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-81049329370842930422010-01-25T13:17:49.856-06:002010-01-25T13:17:49.856-06:00You are right.

But it is also so hard to make that leap to giving a kitty a new home when you just lost one that is so precious. Give it time. You'll get there.<br /><br />-Amy<br />Life by CandlelightAmy M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10851557242036545042noreply@blogger.com
