I might be getting a kitty!!!

Seb died tonight at 1:42 am. Thank you all for your help and support. I appreciate it more than I can say.

Oh, Bubbles, I'm so sorry. You did everything you could. Sebastian was warm and comfortable and loved, and he knew it. His purrs are proof of that.

OMG! I just saw your latest posts. I am so very sorry about your loss of Seb!! Remember that Seb spent his last hours feeling loved and wanted, and you tried your very best!!!

Lindsay, please accept my sympathy in the loss of Seb. I was very saddened to hear this news this morning.

Oh bubbles, that is so sad, my heart is full of tears for you right now. The others are right though, the poor little chap was happy and loved and he knew it too.

So very sorry

Linds,

Very saddened to hear about Seb. I'm in total agreement with others that you did everything in your power and Seb knew it and appreciated it.

Never easy...

I pray and cry with you and for you.

This has been really hard for me. It's amazing how fast we fall in love. I've cried on and off all day.
Cyprio is doing fine. A little sneezy, but he's on Zythromax. He should be fine (according to the vet). He ate a little today. I think I'll keep him for a while.

Bubbles I'm so sorry to hear about Seb but Deb's right. You were an to him; he got to spend his last few hours in a real home of his own, feeling loved and wanted. I remember when my canary Pepi was really sick, he had lived to 10 years old (that's eons in bird years), but had gone blind and I needed to give him medicine twice a day just to keep his body weight up. I used a eyedropper to get the meds down. The day he passed on, Halloween day of last year to be exact, I was devastated. I couldn't even think of getting another pet right away, not until I went to the SPCA "just to look" and fell in love with my little Sophie. This is going to sound strange seeing as how Pepi was a bird and not a kitty, but I think there's a connection between him and Sophie somehow. Like God said to me "this kitty" that day. I'm sure there's a bit of Seb in his brother too:-)

Take Care and Hugs

Cyp died last night also. He lost the use of his back legs in he evening, and I was figuring it was coming. It doesn't make it much easier though. I think I'm through fostering animals from the shelter.

Shawna-
I had a parakeet named Pepsi for 9 years. I still look for Pepsi look-alikes in shops.

Oh, Linds, that's awful! I'm sharing tears with you and everyone else. So very, very sorry...don't know what else to say, except...

Thanks to you, Seb and Cyp were very loved and we came to love and care about them because of you. You did all you could, it wasn't meant to be...

"Don't give up...you still have us..."

Mercy & peace to you,

Bill

Oh, Lindsay, I'm heartbroken for you! I was shocked to read about Cyp. I don't blame you for wanting a break.

Did you ever read The Little Prince? There is a place in the story where the Prince meets a fox and they take about becoming friends. The fox describes the process of developing a relationship with a wild animal. Fox says that over time other aspects of his life will remind him of the Prince. I think he says the corn fields are the color of the Prince's hair so that when he sees them, he'll think of the Prince.. Then one day the Prince will stop visiting the fox, but the fox will still have the cornfields to remind him of his beloved friend. The Prince says he doesn't understand, won't that make the fox sad and why would he want to go through being tamed when in the end it will hurt? The fox replies that, even though cornfields used to be meaningless to him, after being tamed they will be very precious indeed. And his life will be richer.

I don't know, that just came to mind when I read your post.

LIndsay - I am so very sorry about both of your losses. I hope you find comfort and also some answers. You are in my thoughts and prayers
Deb

Not much anyone can say at a time like this, but my thoughts are with you.

It's so hard to know what to say, and there really aren't any words for something that is this sad.

Take all the time you need to grieve for these two little kittens. We are all here for you when and if you want to talk about them more. You may also pm me.
