Where do I begin? We found this gorgeous kitty while camping and fell in love with her. She was a white siamese with the perfect color of blue eyes. Well one day we were playing with her and she got spooked, jumped and hit her head. Didn't think nothing of it just loved her and she was fine. About 2 weeks later she started having seizures. Didn't know what was going on. She would have one about every other night. I was devastated. She was my sweet baby girl whom I loved dearly. Finally I had enough took her to the vet they didn't know what was wrong with her. All tests were fine but came back that they thought she had feline leukemia. I didn't want to believe it. Not my baby. Well we had moved into a duplex and she had her own room cause of her seizures and meds weren't working. The day came when I noticed her tongue was bleeding, I immediately took her to the vet and they said she bit her tongue deeply. And would require stitches and surgery to fix it. While they went out of the room, I had to make a decision that would affect me the rest of my life. I decided instead of making her suffer anymore seizures that she needs to be an angel in heaven and wait for me. I told the Doc when he walked in and he was taken back and agreed with me. The hardest part was they gave her the shot in my arms and I felt her soul leave. I cried so hard. I still think about her everyday. She was my first baby. It took me 7 years to get another cat. I was hesitant on anymore babies. But the funny thing is, I missed two days of work. I know this sounds strange and weird, but I felt her presence in a dream. She told me she was better and not in pain anymore. It put me at ease but the pain still remains today. I miss her sooooo much. I wish she was still with me.

That is a sad story, I am sorry to hear about it. I am glad she feels at peace.
Awww. RIP Shelby.
RIP little one. I think you did the best thing though, she cant have had much quality of life if she was constantly fitting, and if meds didnt work, it wasnt fair on her. At least this way she got to go peacefully, rather than going during a seizure.
This does not sound strange at all. She certainly is in perfect health at the rainbow bridge and she is playing happily and healthly with no more seizures at all. She will stay at the bridge until that day when you two will indeed meet again... until then know that she is watching over you with the love that you both shared
Condolences on the loss of Shelby. May your heart heal knowing she is healthy and whole now. I still remember how it felt when Mattie was pts almost a year ago, she slipped from pain into peace, so I know what you mean when you say you felt her soul leave her body.
I am glad you had a healing dream about her, that was sweet of her to let you know she is happy and well. Sometimes talking about it on this forum can help the healing continue. Not that you will ever forget her or the pain of losing her, but that you will think more of the happiness of having her, than of the sadness of losing her.

Oh I am so sorry for your loss of Shelby, I am sure she knew how much you cared for her, Please feel at peace in knowing that she is not suffering but haveing the time of her life with tons of other kitties, and watching and waiting for you, You are in my Thoughts and Prayers
R.I.P. Shelby...
I don't think that sounds strange or weird at all, and I understand completely. In August it will be four years ago that I lost my little Midnight, and I still think about her and miss her. Several days after Midnight's death I had a dream about spending a day with her at the Rainbow Bridge. I was able to communicate with Midnight in English in this dream, and she was in such a wonderful and fantastic place that I knew without a doubt she would be pain free and extremely happy for the rest of eternity.......
What a sad story (yeah, I'm crying). I do think you made the right decision. And I don't think it's weird at all about having a dream like that. We are so close to them, of course our subconscious reacts to them being gone. But now Shelby is in a wonderful place and she's healthy and happy, waiting for you to join her.
I'm so sorry for your loss. RIP Shelby.
RIP little Shelby.
