An update on Milo's vet appt today. He was literally starving to death and was hospitalized today for a final "God shot." @hexiesfriend Your tomcat was certainly a beauty and I think he has the most "tomcat looking" facial features I've ever seen. I'm sorry you lost him. Although I already...

Catwoman707- it is easy to misconstrue someone's intent online and I believe you when you say it was unintentional. Thank you for letting me know. After writing of my decision, your replies *appeared* to me to be asking why I would consider kitty heaven already, when he only has diarrhea. It...

Walkingrock- I'm so sorry about your doggie. January wasn't long ago and I'm sure your feeling of loss is still immense. Peace of mind that you did right by him is an irreplaceable gift.

Thank you, lotsoffur. I appreciate that;)

Hi Ralphscats...I adopted a stray FIV+ female kitty and already had 4 FIV- cats at home. She had been needing a home for months and after weighing the pros and cons, I decided to let her live in my large bedroom with small sitting area, while the others remained in the rest of the house. She...

@Loving Mickey I appreciate your apology. I really do. As I know you know, it was one of the most difficult decisions I've had to make. As the years went by, I'd forgotten how raw the pain is. I hope Milo and Mickey become good friends through the bond they share of loving parents! (Apologies...

Thank you. He's laying next to me and I do so love him very much. It is sad that we've all been here before, making tough, painful decisions. I think my anxiety will destroy my soul before daybreak! Thanks for your kind words. I appreciate it a lot and since I'm being worked in at vet appt...

you forgot vomiting and although I consider it nil next to his chronic diarrhea, he frequently walks crooked. When he "shakes it off" he at least loses his balance, if not fall to the side. You sure are angry because I refuse to let Milo, who I know better than any other human on earth, suffer...

@MomofMaxwell I'm so glad Max will be there to help Milo at his new home. Thank you, Cindy, for sharing your story and compassion. I enjoyed reading your reply and I know so much of your pain and hurt, for it has been my companion before, as well. You'll never forget, nor do you want to. I'm...

@catwoman707 Sorry but my cat continuing to suffer is not ok with me, with or without a diagnosis. Reading your reply, whether your cat is suffering or not never comes into the equation. Your unnecessary sarcasm and attempt at shaming only compounds pain- it also implies I'm easily giving up on...

Thank you, Catwoman. No, 15 isn't old to me, either. Indeed you're correct- he does suffer malabsorption due to 4-5 large, liquid diarrhea daily, since March. Moist food, which he will only eat (Fancy Feast), absorbs faster than dry food. He typically goes through a box of 30 cans in five days...

Number 10 of 'The Pets 10 Commandments:' On the ultimate difficult journey, go with me please. Never say you can’t bear to watch. Don’t make me face this alone. Everything is easier for me if you are there, because I love you so. I'm broken.

One more sad Milo pic, so others will understand my final decision is for no other reason than I love him so much :(

Hi "MoM"... Your Maxwell must've been beautiful! I've only seen a few tuxedos, one was the brother to my Milo that my sister 'adopted' from me and they looked like twins. He developed facial tumors, eventually becoming severe. I was with my sister the day he went to kitty heaven at only seven...

@Loving Mickey Yes, I think my greatest concern is I don't know what's wrong with him, even after 2 vets (one clinic), one specialist, numerous vets at a highly respected veterinarian school of medicine, two hospitilizations, and roughly $4500- all this since only March. I am not a rich woman...

I hope your baby continues improving. He looks good so far! I wonder why vets don'the give pain meds- at least none I've ever heard of routinely. It bothered me when one of my cats had surgery (many feral cats have adopted me over the years, so have had to spay/neuter a lot) but they never give...
