Greetings to all, I am an avid reader of this site who never had the nerve to write. However my beloved 18 year old "Sassy" passed away Saturday morning, I found her as I was getting my cats their breakfast, I feel terrible,I didnt get to tell her good bye. She saw a vet recently and all her tests were normal. I originally had 5 cats....my 2 boys passed away..Oliver had wet FIP and only made it to 6, Mr. Muggsy passed away at 15,he had to be put down as did Oliver. My remaining cats are "Whiskers" who will be 19 in Sept, she is my dearest friend in the world, and she just returned from the vets with a healthy check up. My other sweet girl is "Antigone" and she is 16. I feel depressed...Sassy , as all of my cats, was a rescue from the humane society. she was on her last day when i received a call that they had a kitten who liked to bite and was no good with children and was on her last day, i fell in love with her and took her home. She never bit me or anyone, she was a beautiful maine coon, my little princess. This is the first time I have been able to talk about it to anyone and I appreciate anyone who took the time to read this. I thank you sincerely for letting me get this off my chest....now i need to cry....always remember to hug your kitties...time and life are so very precious....
