Re: hello


Thanks everybody fro your kind words. Just to let you know Triger was PTS this afternoon, the vets suspected he had developed FIP, due to his lowered immune system. Whatever it was there was nothing we could do.

Re: hello


I am so very sorry to hear about Triger.. You gave him the kindest gift of all, you set him free from all pain and suffering.

Most of us here have been through what you are going through now, the pain is awful but in time you will learn to smile at the happy times you had with him.

We have a section here called "Gone but Not Forgotten"

........if anytime you feel like you would like to post a memorial to your dear Triger,

Thinking of you ((((hugs))))

RIP sweet Triger....xx

Re: hello


I'm so very sorry At least Triger is out of pain and is no longer in any discomfort. You just have to take the time to deal with your grief.

Don't despair about the FIV. I had an FIV cat live with my 2 non-FIVs for about 2 years and because there was no biting or fighting there was very little risk and the remaining 2 continue in non-FIV good health. Of course get your cats tested for your own peace of mind, but also don't forget that cats can live happily for years with FIV and display no degeneration, so if there is a diagnosis it's not an automatic death sentence.

What happened to Triger was tragic, but at least it was quick. RIP dear puss.

Re: hello


I am so sorry that you have found us at such a very sad time. The others have said all that I would.

I do hope that you can tell us about your other cats when you have had some time.

Poor Triger - a very sad and sudden illness. You gave him peace and dignity at the end. RIP.

Re: hello


Thanks everybody, I feel really down today. I let the other cats out for the first time since Triger was PTS and Mustard has spent the whole day wandering around meowing. He doesn't normally do this and is seems to me he is looking for Tiger, its making me feel really sad for him.
He and Triger were best buddies, and Mustard watched over Triger when he first went out after his leg was amputated, I've even seen Mustard give him a mouse, before Triger became adept at catching them himself.
Who says humans are the only animals who feel sorrow.

Re: hello


Simon was has been exactly the same since we lost Kay. He crys all the time for me and follows me everywhere. Animals do certainly have feelings.
