I'm sorry you think Jules suffered. That is very hard to deal with.Originally Posted by Mom of 10 Cats
Thanks for all the kind words and thoughts, they mean a lot to me. I don't know how to express how the last month has changed me. Part of me wants to rehome all the cats and never get another one, so I never have to deal with this kind of pain again. But I know I could never give up all my furkids. They truly are what make my life worth living. The pain of the last few weeks, though, has been undescribable.
I totally understand about the feeling of wanting to give up kitties to stop the vulnerability to pain. Feelings are not always reality...just thinking that doesn't make it happen. I felt that way, too, when I lost several foster kittens. You have been through so much...my heart goes out to you!
Next week, call the vet who did the necropsy, and ask if there is any way to check the siblings for this. And remember, they are moggie cats, with mixed up genetics. Often that means some of the genetic illnesses are less strongly expressed in the litter. And it is even possible that there were several fathers to the litter, so some of the littermates will not have the same genetics.
Condolences on your many losses, and bless you for saving so very many kitties! And to Hissy, also, I'm sorry that you lost two precious ones as well.
