It has taken me two weeks to be able to sit down and write a thank you note to everyone who sent their vibes and prayers for my little Oliver. I wish that I had good news to report. Unfortunately, two weeks ago I had to make the most difficult decision to let my little guy cross over the Rainbow Bridge. Oliver had a great heart and spirit, but as much as he fought to recover from FIP, his body was failing. On Saturday, January 6th, I took Oliver to my veterinarian and had him euthanized. I was with him and held him in my arms. Oliver was a wonderful little kitten with the most generous, loving personality. I cannot believe the impact he had on my life in the short time that he shared my home. I swear that I can see him following in my footsteps out of the corner of my eyes. I know that my girls Mollie and Sophie know that I am missing him - they are constantly at my side. Even now, Sophie is curled up on the desk next to me as I send this note along. I guess my biggest regret is that I will never get to see how Oliver would grow up and become a "big boy". I know that he would have been a great friend and companion. I am so happy that I am the one that he chose to go home with last September. I believe that I did everything in my power to get him healthy and to insure that although he did not have a long life on this earth, he was safe and loved. And he gave me back love in a big way. Now Oliver is a happy and healthy young man playing with my cats who have crossed over in the year's past. I will miss this special little boy always. Thank you, everyone, for your thoughts and prayers.
