These are just a few of our beautiful and adorable cats we lost to FIP...

Maya, Johnny, Sylvester, Vincent  and Moish... I still miss them so much!!!!!!

Thanks for posting this remembrance.  I miss my kitty and think of her every day too.

Do you run a cattery or rescue?   Just wondering how you have had 5 cats with FIP.   Seems more than the average cat owner would experience.

Bless you for all you have been through.

Thank you!!! 

What happened to your cat?? Do you have others left to comfort you???

We actually don't mean to run a rescue or cattery as the cats we take in become part of the family with all benefits and "obligations" (imagine cats having obligations...) back then we lost about 12 cats to this horrible disease... we were left with "only" 10 cats and swore we'd never take so many in again but then we came across 6 adorable kittens at different times and couldn't just look away...

My cat passed in June from excessive vomiting. She might have been saved but we were going thru a divorce and the vets were useless even after grabbing $3,000 for various tests. The place I am staying at now has a "no cats" policy so I have a noisy bird to keep me company.

SO sorry to hear you had to go through such a harsh time... life sometimes deals us a  heavy hand...

I'd understand "no dogs" policy but no cats???? Some landlords are really strange...  take careI

FIP is a horrible disease. May your babies rest in peace.

Each and every one of our precious felines that choose us for their home is so unique and irreplaceable it's truly a miracle of love. When we lose one of them, especially through these terrible diseases or an accident it's so sudden and such a shock it's almost too much to bear. But somehow we have to go on in the land of the living, keeping their sweet memories locked in our hearts and feeling like a part of our soul is somehow missing or incomplete. I truly admire you,Ouiser, for passing on their treasured legacies they all left behind,the great love they shared with you. Even though you know there will be the possibility of another heartache, you find it in your heart to share your life with another little soul in need, and I thank you and pray for you to be blessed for your kindness. I also pray that every one of our loved ones will live to a great age in comfort and die peacefully at home in their sleep. It so seldom happens but I rejoice when it does. Thank you too for giving us this tribute to your beautiful babies so that we may know them and keep them in our thoughts. Take care.........

Thank you JCAT,

DI and BOB

for your kind and thoughtful words!!!!

Maya aka Madame ShouShou knew what a beauty she was but she was still gracious

to us humans. nights she would come under the covers and we would have our talking/

purring sessions... Moish the black one was our 1st and he loved to jump on a chair and be

rocked by my husband and me... With Vincent, the one in the "Kennedy" box I would have

boxing matches... i would pull my sleeves over my hands for cover and then I would hold

up my hands and say Vince let's box and he would jump at me and we would have our rounds...

Johnny the white one was usually as laid back as he looks but once i'd left cooked beets

to cool and he jumped on the counter, grabbed one and ran growling through the house with

his "catch"  and me chasing him all over the place....

I'm sorry, I know you all have your stories to tell but i'm this certified cat NUT and could go on talking

about them for hours...

 thanks for reading...

FIP is such a horrible disease and leaves us completely helpless.  I can't imagine going through it as often as you have.  Hopefully you and your kitties are finished with it.

I sure hope we've seen the end of it... knowing there's nothing we can do was horrible!!!!
