I didn't do it in time and watched a 19 yr buddy pass away. It was awful. I really couldn't bring myself to bring him in I had this feeling like I didn't want to play God. Now I understand its more about comfort in their death. In contrast I had a kitty of 10 yrs wake up sick one day,( 28 little barf piles of  white foam. It was weird) and the local money grubbing vet, wanted $1000 for tests etc, and when I didn't have it told me to drop him at the shelter they would put him down.  He was very close to death, apparently the stomach acid was about to cause kidney failure )I went home researched the very disticnt symptoms, a very easy diagnosis. I figured I would try the human meds recommended on dozens of posts by vets, and if it didn't work at least I tried. I sat up all night giving him baby food and water in syringes, and two human drugs, I happened to have, by chance, on hand, and my Meaux in two days was like a kitten again. That was two years ago.  I hate my local vet, who yelled at me for giving the remedy  that another vets would have told me to try, a vet doing clincal trials  who I did see, whom said I did good, and my cat was in too good of health to participate ( 5 days after the day he got sick) I use poetry to get through loss too.  If you are into lyrics that seem to hit home for me anyway, try listening to some youtube videos by Blue October. The words that Justin the lead singer songwriter uses in songs are very inspiring to me on those days when the poetry seems to flow or I feel sad. I made a play list of songs that get me in the zone when I have a little trouble finding my words.I am very sorry for your loss but through it you found your voice. It took losing a fiancee once, to a brutal murder to  get me to really write better or maybe the word is write deeper thoughts.  I have four note books full of poems. The early ones were nothing compared to the ones that resulted from loss.  I would love to swap poems some day  if you are interested. ~AnnieSpeaking of cats,  if anyone is in Southern California and wants a Bengal mix kitten I have 4!!! 3 days old. Ready for adoption in about 6 weeks.  Google Silver Bengals and Charcoal Bengals and you will see what I have. Marbled and spotted grey/silver. Two are black tabby/marbling. Very cool kitties. Bengals have different  likes and interests than other cats. They like to hang out on top of doors, they love to play in water, and can spring straight up to eye level from standing still. They over act and they are vocal. Amazing and pretty too.</blockquote>
