Felix - the one who could open doors. (RIP)

This afternoon I called the vet to be so friendly and come to my house
to give peace to my loved Felix, the ginger cat.
He got about 11 years old from which he lived about 7 with me and my
other cats. He moved in from the neighbourhood.
Felix was 6 month ago diagnosed with FIV - the feline immune virus
thing which is not curable.

We worked with antibiotics as long as possible, but in the end they
didn`t help anymore
and he couldn`t eat due to his bad stomatitis. The last days he moved
out of the house into the garage and when the pain reliever didn`t
work anymore I made the decision to call the vet.

The vet told me that Felix left very lightly, meaning that his body
really was weak. And that it was the right decision.

Felix was a wonderful, gentle tomcat who was so clever that he could
open doors by jumping on the door handle.
He often slept on my pillow by my head and I let him do so,
growing used to it.

I am heartbroken.
But - he feels no pain anymore which is a good thing.
Some day we will meet at the rainbowbridge.

I let you know this cause I need some consolation.
I feel so deeply sad.

Bettina, I'm so very sorry for your loss of your wonderful kitty, Felix.

It was so very good of you to take him in, as a stray cat.

Often, these stray cats, who have had to hunt and fight for food,
shelter, water, and survival, turn out to be the very best of pets.

They are very grateful to the human(s) who take them into their homes,
and always make sure they have enough food, clean water, shelter, and
soft, safe places to sleep.

And they show their gratitude in the love they give their rescuers, each
and every day.

It is very, very sad that became ill and had to go to the Bridge far too
soon.

But you had many good years together; years that Felix would not have
had at all, if you had not saved him.

That is the most important thing.

Oh I am so sorry. 11 years is a long time for an FIV cat. You gave him
a wonderful home when many would have put him to sleep years ago
because of a disease like that. ((((((((hugs)))))))

Bettina, I'm so sorry for your loss:-( Your description of Felix gives
me a feeling about how deeply you loved him. Making the final
decission is so hard to do, but because of your love, you made it in
time.

He will have a good time at the bridge, waiting for you.

Purrs for your broken heart from

I want to thank you all for your help. I needed that.

It is so good to have people who are like minded.

I'm so sorry! Eleven years old is too young for you to lose him. He
sounds like he was a wonderful kitty - affectionate and smart.

I've lit a candle for Felix at gratefulness.org. Purrs for you from
me and my gang.
