We rescued her and had no idea what her age was but it was estimated to be 6 and that was in March of 2005. In the last few months her health has declined. She had trouble walking, seeing, hearing, and eating. She had a couple of mild seizures. At night we could her her whimpering in what we were guessing to be pain.

You will be missed Jazi.

She is finally at peace, having had to be put down at going on 17 last week. She allowed so many so much happiness, even to her last moments. Saying good bye to her when leaving her her last weekend was most difficult but far too long in the making. She was so uncomfortable. She is no longer. :)

bumblepuppy posted : EGeezer 's daughter here:

Having adopted a kitty there that summer, I stopped by the county animal shelter to drop off a bag of cat food. It was about an hour before they closed for the weekend. When I got there, my friend C., who volunteers, told me that there was a respiratory infection going around, and they were putting down many of the cats. Then she said, "If you're going to rescue someone, rescue Darth Vader." He was the next one on death row. At the time my husband (fianc� at the time) and I already had three cats, but I met this poor sick kitty, and told him, "Come on, Vader, we're going home." I borrowed a carrier and took him home with me. We went to the vet, and a course of antibiotics fixed him right up.

The shelter's paperwork two years ago listed his age as two. I thought at the time - my husband and the people at the vet's office agree - that he was at least ten years older than his paperwork said. I think his previous owner lied about his age to give him a better chance at being adopted. Heck, I would have taken him if he was 20, but not everyone thinks like that.

Anyway, I've known LOTS of cats, but Vader was the sweetest, most loving kitty ever. He never stopped purring. My husband and I are thrilled to have had two wonderful years with him.

EGeezer posted : Vader was rescued from a shelter about two years ago by my daughter just a day before he was to be put down. He was an affectionate laid back fellow who gave comfort and enjoyment to all who visited him.

His favorite place was on the back of any chair where someone was sitting. What a nice head warmer :D

He was so fortunate to have had a loving home with my kid and her husband, who gave him the best home a kitty could want.

They and we are comforted by the happiness Vader gave them - and us. We'll miss him.

That is truly awful! I had a cat that looked just like that one too. Curious though, did they say they KNOW it was FIP? I only ask that because when my Ranma (pg 7) was little, less than 1 year old he was sick, the tests said it was FIP, but turns out he had an obstruction from ingesting thread that never showed on x-rays they took. I read (from a vet friend far away) that many cats that come from multi-cat homes will test positive for FIP, but not really have it. I pushed my vet to operate on him and that's where they found what he had eaten. They were able to save him because of it. We never knew he had eaten anything like that, as we never left anything like that lying around. We had 2 other cats at the time, and a positive FIP test could mean the other 2 were in danger as well.

Doesn't make the hurt any less I know, but it's worth knowing anyway. For future reference, if you have multiple cats.

jaykaykay posted : I just saw this. I don't know how I missed it, but I did and I am so sorry. When I saw it, I somehow thought of this little ditty I found on the Internet some time ago.

"Humility

And Adam said, "Lord, when I was in the garden, you walked with me
everyday. Now I do not see you anymore. I am lonesome here and it is
difficult for me to remember how much you love me."

And God said, "No problem! I will create a companion for you that
will be with you forever and who will be a reflection of my love for
you, so that you will know I love you, even when you cannot see me.
Regardless of how selfish and childish and unlovable you may be, this
new companion will accept you as you are and will love you as I do, in
spite of yourself."

And God created a new animal to be a companion for Adam. And it was a
good animal. And God was pleased. And the new animal was pleased to be
with Adam and he wagged his tail. And Adam said, "But Lord, I have
already named all the animals in the Kingdom and all the good names are
taken and I cannot think of a name for this new animal."

And God said, "No problem! Because I have created this new animal to
be a reflection of my love for you, his name will be a reflection of my
own name, and you will call him DOG."

And Dog lived with Adam and was a companion to him and loved him. And
Adam was comforted. And God was pleased. And Dog was content and
wagged his tail.

After a while, it came to pass that Adam's guardian angel went to the
Lord and said, "Lord, Adam has become filled with pride. He struts and
preens like a peacock and he believes he is worthy of adoration. Dog
has indeed taught him that he is loved, but no one has taught him
humility."

And the Lord said, "No problem! I will create for him a companion who
will be with him forever and who will see him as he is. The companion
will remind him of his limitations, so he will know that he is not
worthy of adoration."

And God created CAT to be a companion to Adam. And Cat would not obey
Adam. And when Adam gazed into Cat's eyes, he was reminded that he was
not the supreme being. And Adam learned humility.

And God was pleased. And Adam was greatly improved.
And Cat did not care one way or the other"

bolt posted : BJ, our Border Collie has completed his journey to Rainbow Bridge.

BJ was rescued from an abusive farmer. When we picked him up, he would visibly cringe from any male with a raised hand or holding a stick.

Over the intervening years, BJ turned out to be a quick learner and it became obvious that he had a strong herding instinct as he herded the neighbors grand-kids away from the road with no prompting. He learned several commands and could be commanded using only hand signals.

The last several months his health had declined and about a week ago, he suffered a stroke or seizure. After conferring with our vet, it was decided that it was best to ease his suffering and allow him the rest he deserved. He was a member of our small family and will be sorely missed. BJ was sixteen and a half years old. There is a hole in my soul.
