I have known of cases where Keppra gave a respite....just hoping for the best one way or another. Please remember you can come here whenever you need to post, or just vent.
The vet told us that he was apparently hallucinating, and being very aggressive, despite normally being the most gentle cat you could imagine. When we went in to him, I think he relaxed bit, and seemed to respond to our voices. He crossed peacefully, with us stroking him.I am so sorry for your loss. You helped him to fight a very serious illness and I firmly believe that animals know that we are there supporting them and loving them. Let yourself grieve as much as you need, and hopefully eventually the sad memories of these recent days will be replaced by memories of happy times with him.
Yes, another cat, someday, would be very fortunate to share your life and love as Sammy did.
Oh yes, you will, and you'll be surprised at how easy it is, and you'll be happy and proud you are saving another soul in distress.He was a rescue cat, dumped in a box as a kitten, but his life held so much meaning to us.
I don't think I could do this again.
I'm so glad I found this site, you are all so kind, and it has really helped to speak to people who don't make me feel like some inadequate because my closest friend happens to be a cat.
We here at TheCatSite truly "get it". No one here would ever say "it's just a cat" . They are our family members. To me, they are as much family as a child would be if I had any.
He slept on my pillow at night, with his chin resting on my forehead. He sat outside the shower cubicle whilst I was showering, sat on my desk when I was using the computer, and was rarely more than two feet away from me. In short, he was such a special little friend. I just hope we meet again eventually.
Although my Tinky is not my soul cat, he does this, and I love him with all my heart. When he's on my lap and I sing to him, he actually "sings" back . How special is that! But there was just something different about Sven. I guess one can only have one soul cat, but that still doesn't mean every other one can't be oh so special. And my Darko is very special too, but in a completely different way. He's more like a normal cat. When I call his name, he usually ignores me, doesn't sleep with me as often, etc. But between the two of them, I can't tell you which one I love more. I'm just telling you this to let you know there IS life after losing a soul cat
