[Felvtalk] Merlin has gone to the bridge

[Kelley S]

I failed him.  I did not notice his symptoms in time.  Now I have his
"sister" (not blood related" by herself.  She is going to be miserable,she
does not like to be alone.  I had an appointment for 2 other cats on
Monday.  I am switching her out with one of them so that I can get her
completely checked out.  Not that heart failure is contagious, but I need
to be more on top of my FELV+ cats, or now, cat.  I can't do this anymore,
I don't know how yall do it.  I don't have "too many" cats overall, but I
do think I have "too many" to handle many chronically ill (or potentially
chronically ill).  I guess any cat is "potentially chronically ill."  By
the way, I fell even more in love with this doctor when he told me he had
taken home 2 FELV+ kittens from the clinic and they died before 10 months
old.  I read between the lines that someone wanted their FELV+ kittens
euthanized or did not want them when they tested pos.
