Hi Karen, I just want to say how sorry I am that this is happening with Met. I haven't been on this list very long, but long enough to know you have put your heart and soul into your boy and have gotten him through some really hard stuff, things that most people would have just said enough and given up. I can't begin to understand what you're going through, though I have been there too. About a year and a half ago, I had a cat who died of cancer. It started in her lung and spread to her spine, so she ended up being a paraplegic kitty for her last 6 months or so, which meant I had to express her bladder for her twice a day. And that pales in comparison to what you've done for Met. I finally had her put to sleep when it was obvious that it was her time. Not an easy thing. It's amazing to me that Met has worked as long and as well as he has with all his medical problems. Again, I'm so sorry this is happening, and you have my heartfelt sympathy. I hope you can take comfort in the fact that you did everything you possibly could for him, way above and beyond the call, just for love of him. Try not to beat yourself up over whether or not it was his food. It may be that it is just his time. I hope this doesn't sound trite; I don't mean it to. Hugs from me and special golden snuggles and kisses from Sunny. AnnaLisa and Sundance No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
