I suspect her tongue hanging out gave you the impression that she was dead, but again- she was just sleeping or hanging out, or rather her tongue was. When I was asked to present the people holding the auction with a final photo, I was hard pressed to find one where she even showed a bit of life.

Shell was tuckered, she was worn out and ravaged with oral cancer. She barely left the top of the cage in the last few days before I decided to let her go. I had no idea, nor did my vet how bad her mouth really was because she would clamp her mouth closed and refuse to open it if we wanted to examine her. She couldn't withstand the anesthesia so she was never really probed. It was only after that we understood the full extent of the damage that had been done to her and now, I don't even have a clue how she even ate anything at all.

I wasn't prepared to lose her. After she passed, the blog entry I did was the hardest blog entry I ever had to make. She was special in ways I am still understanding and she has made a difference not only with me, but with people globally. There are currently 75 comments left on my initial blog post about her passing. 75! What an impact this emaciated kitty who never knew love or comfort till she came here had on a lot of hearts-especially mine.
Thank you so much for taking the time to post this, MA. I'm sure it wasn't easy for you to do, and again, I apologize for my transgression. I think it was indeed the way Shell looked that made me think she was already gone.

The last week of Auction is on again. It was temporarily waylaid due to a personal injury on the part of the wonderful lady who runs the auction. But now it is full swing, and there are some incredible jewelry pieces and cat figurines there now with more stuff going to be added daily.

Check it out if you like and pass the link around to your cat loving friends-

There will be a final one May 9th- with all sorts of wonderful high-end stuff! This will be the last one so stay tuned for it- so many people kept donating items for this wonderful cat, I just wish she were around to reap the love being sent her way.

I just finished reading the blog about Shell. Poor thing went through so much! She's very lucky to have someone to take such good care of her, and giving her that TLC and support through her tough days. I admire you for helping these felines.

Keep up the good work, and I look forward to checking out the auctions.

Hissy, I tried to send you a PM in regards to Shell's auction, but I got the message that you weren't accepting PMs. Is your PM box full, or are you just not allowing PMs? Is there another way I can contact you?

I was going to bid on those twinkle cats and hang them in my windows, but we had our windows tinted on Monday, and they told us putting suction cups on the tint wouldn't be a good idea. Glad I asked! (but they are so cute!!)
