I'm sorry. Keep all the photos you have--they become very precious memories. Take solice in your other cats--they will need reassurance and can be reassuring for you as well.
I haven't posted in this thread, but I've been following it. Fathom, I'm so sorry you lost your sweet boy, but you did the most loving thing in letting him go.
Thank you Mer. We have been spending lots of time with the other two. Scottie, the one we adopted with Chip, has been sleeping in Chip's bed, when not sleeping with us. Other then that they seem to be doing okay, but it could be too soon for them to realize anything is really wrong.
Thank you Rapunzel, I know letting him go was right. I think Chip was trying to tell us that by letting us remember our last moments together with love and affection, the was he was before he got so sick. Those are the times I remember, and it makes it very difficult to not feel hopeless and also blessed at the same time.
I am so sorry for your loss. It is never an easy decision and FIP is such a frustrating diagnosis. I lost my Olivier to FIP and it was agonizing.
I am sure Olivier will show Chip the ropes over the Rainbow Bridge where they have endless birds to chase, sunshine and can eat tuna everyday if they want to.
RIP Chip.
