2867.0. "A Sad Note" by AUGGIE::SEGOOL () Mon Sep 18 1989 09:14

    
    
    We had to put Misty to sleep on Saturday. She had been diagnosed
    with FIP about 6 weeks ago. She had stayed fairly stable until
    about a week and a half ago. Then she begin to lose ground slowly
    but steadily. By the end of last week we knew that life for Misty
    was no longer something she could enjoy.
    
    Misty was a little over four years old. She was a very pretty cat
    and very independant. Though a house cat she was always in the windows
    and would dash out the door whenever given the chance. When we took
    her out, which we did once in a great while, she would always head
    for the back yard. So, we have decided to sprinkle her ashes in
    the backyard and to let her rest close to us and where she always
    wanted to be.

	Mike - I'm so sorry about Misty. It sounds like she had a very pleasant life with you, even tho it was shorter than it should have been. I think your idea of sprinkling her ashes in the back yard is very appropriate. I've added Misty's name to the Silver Lining Memorial list and her memory will live on with the work this gift will help to pay for. I hope it helps a bit. Nancy DC
2867.2	Our Sympathy...	BIMINI::SPINGLER		`Mon Sep 18 1989 10:28`	14
	Mike, We're sorry to hear about Misty too. Sprinkling her ashes in the back yard is a wonderful tribute. She knows and is happy. Our hearts go out to you, human and feline, big gentle hugs to you and your family. Feline Sad, Sue & Panther & Spot & Jerry

	Condolences on your loss of Misty. Our feelings are with you. Bob, Smoke, Nightmare, Sneakers, Nova, Ruffles (the wonder cat)
2867.4	so soon...	EUCLID::PAULHUS	Chris @ MLO6B-2/T13 dtn 223-6871	`Mon Sep 18 1989 14:09`	7
	Condolences. As one who has recently suffered a loss (note 2843), I know how this can hit you. When a cat gets to be a teen- ager, you kind of expect bad news some day/year. But with a young 3 or 4 year old, bad news is unexpected. So much wonderful vigorous activity cut short. I hope you will recover and there will be a Misty II in your home as there will be a Copy II in mine next spring. - Chris

2867.6		AIMHI::OFFEN		`Wed Sep 20 1989 18:06`	9
	I feel for you. I sometimes think about if one of my beauties would suddenly leave me. I don't know how I would handle it. I sincerely hope you do find a new friend to fill the void in your life. I did Sandi (mom to THUNDER, LIGHTNING, STORM & DEJAVU TOO.
2867.7	I'm so sorry	SUBURB::ODONNELLJ		`Wed Sep 20 1989 18:31`	8
	I am very sorry to hear about Misty - I know just how shattered you must be feeling. I know it seems an awful idea to even think of getting another cat at this stage, but it really does help - even though you'll never replace Misty, you'll be helping another cat. yours in sympathy, Julie (and Oliver)
2867.8	Thank you	AUGGIE::SEGOOL		`Fri Sep 22 1989 09:15`	10
	I'd like to thank everyone for their kind words. They really have helped. We are planning to get another cat(s) at some time in the future. Our vet has recommended that we wait two months before bringing another cat into the house. Apparently FIP can hang around for a while. Once again, thanks. Mike
