Angelmaine Pericles 23.11.98-5.02.05 RIP

Oh no, this is just so overwhelmingly sad. I'm so sorry, Gordon.
Hugs and purrs,

Pericles had continued to go downhill since his tests on Thursday,
not
taking much in (although he managed to force down some cod & salmon
as
his last meals) or letting much out, hardly moving around and with
an
increasingly swelling tummy:
so swollen that his ribs couldn't be felt even up by his spine.

The lab. test results, which were available this morning (5th Feb)
clearly indicated FIP (Feline Infectious Peritonitis) and given its
obviously large scale I discussed and agreed with TED that
euthanasia
was required.

At 11.30 this morning he passed peacefully to the Bridge with his
head
cradled in my hands. He didn't seem to mind being fussed over just
this once. Meanwhile in the operating theatre a Rottweiler mum was
giving birth by Caesarian section to 11 (yes, eleven) puppies, all
apparently healthy. So the ebb & flow of life continues.

Peri will be buried in my little back garden (yard) under his
favourite Hebe bush, where he spent many happy and lazy hours
drowsing & waiting for the chance to ambush any neighbour cat daring
enough to cross his territory.

Bandit & Snowball have sniffed Peri & said whatever goodbyes they
can:
I'm not sure how much they understand about the concept of death.
Rather they will just come to realise that Peri is no longer here, I
suspect.

I shall have to keep a careful watch on them from now on as their
chances of infection are increased. I know there's nothing to be
done
so will concentrate on ensuring that they don't suffer.

I've put a farewell picture of Pericles he

It's the last one on the page. Please feel free to make a Guestbook
entry.
He got to cyber-meet Sammy yesterday (her face can just barely be
seen
on the screen beside his right ear, so thanks CN) and proceeded to
protect his recently-acquired beloved from the attentions of all
comers.

I shan't be around much for awhile, I'm afraid, I'll need to come to
terms with things in solitude. So here are my thanks for all your
sterling companionship and good wishes & purrs over the last 14
month.

Continuing even-more-empathetic-than-before purrs to those in need.

Gordon, Bandit & Snowball.

So very sorry to hear that.
Lots of hugs and purrs,

I'm in tears after reading this, life is so unfair to take one so young.
Comforting purrs for Gordon, Bandit & Snowball and a candle lit for
Pericles. :-(

So very sorry to hear this, Gordon. Many purrs heading down to Cornwall
for Pericles and you, Bandit and Snowball.

I am so sorry for you all. Pericles was a beautiful boy and had the
best home any cat could wish for. Sympathetic purrs and thoughts for
you all.

I am so sorry and sad to hear this. My heart goes out to you.

Purrs for you in your grief, and that Bandit and Snowball will be just
fine.

Blessings,

Ginger-lyn

I'm so sorry, Gordon. Losing our beloved companions is so hard. Many
sympathetic purrs. I'm glad you could be with Pericles at the end, but
it is a sad, sad day when we have to send them onward.

I am very, very sorry to read this. We will light a candle for your
big boy, and send our very best heartache-easing purrs to you and
Bandit and Snowball.

Oh Gordon,
I am so sorry! Please accept our purrs for a safe passage to the
rainbow bridge.

So very sorry to hear this. Sending major purrs upir way, and lighting
a candle for his journey
