Default 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 put up a candle group for Felix:

Oh Betina, I am so very sorry to hear about Felix. {{{{HUGS}}}}

The Miles crew are sending gentle purrs to ensure his safe passage to
the bridge, and I have lit a candle to light his way.

Your grief is too fresh to find much consolation in anything I might say
right now. In a few days you might think about this:
He had 7 wonderful years with you. I'm pretty sure he would not have lived
to the age of 11 if you had not taken him in. You gave him good medical
care so he could stay a little bit longer - and when the time was right and
his life was not tolerable any more, you gave him the gift of helping him to
the Rainbow Bridge where he is now happy, restored to youth and full health.
No cat could ask for more than this, Bettina.
Purrs for your broken heart.
Beileid.

You came to the right place--almost everyone here knows the pain of
parting from a beloved cat. You did everything as it should be done,
and gave Felix love, companionship and ultimately relief from
suffering. I am sure he was grateful for all you did for him, and
waits for you at the Rainbow Bridge.

Bettina,
I've lit a candle to help guide Felix on his journey to the Bridge.
You've given him the greatest gift of love and we hope your pain is
soon replaced by happier memories of your time with Felix.
