Sasha Begins Chemotherapy On Monday!

Murray and I have accepted that we are now giving our darling purrecious Sasha palliative care and each day we have her is truly a gift -- in spite of our sadness -- a happy day. BTW, re this week's Poll: Sasha is lefty-pawed but is quite adept at using the right paw too.

For some reason my PM message inbox is full although I've emptied it. Please send your personal messages to us at:

I've been so wrapped up in my drama w/Puddy that I really haven't checked other posts. But now that she's home (see my latest post), I'm trying to catch up

We understand purrfectly! How is Puddy today?

Thank you for your good wishes. Purr, mew, I'm giving it 110% and hope to spend many more days with my Purr~ents.

May the great cat goddess Bastet hear our pussycat prayers and help all of us who are ill.

Sasha, check your email - there's a probable reason for your PM box reading as full, I sent you an email.

My dearest Sasha: Your Meowmie tells me that your time on earth is coming to an end and that makes my heart break in two. What a beautiful kitty you are and you've had such a happy life and such a loving home. When your time comes, I know that all the pet angels will be there to greet you and show you around. I hope that's not too soon, though. Your Meowmie has given me purrmission to put your picture up on my "wall of fame" at work along with the poem she wrote. That way, I'll be able to see you everyday and wonder how you are enjoying the sweet grasses of the RB.

For now, I send you kisses from BC and pray that your last days on earth will be peaceful ones.

Today Sasha ate and drank a little. Not as much as we hoped she would, but she did so that is good.

Karen Thank you for the tip re the "sent" items. I deleted many and perhaps now PMs will arrive.

slick We watch very carefully. Sasha is mostly comfortable, not in pain [we feel]. She still enjoys pussycat life -- looking out windows to survey her palace grounds, listening to the crickets and birds, eating & drinking [not very much, but trying], sitting on her Paw-Paw's lap, cuddling with me. Our darling is still with us; we've had today with her...and means today was good.

Sasha, this message was so hard to read. But it is good to know that you are comfortable and your parents are keeping a very close watch on you. I will try to locate what Boo told a communicator about life and death. It is so beautiful!! I have ot leave for work, will be back later!! We all continue to send you our prayers. Love, Sandra and the Clan

Sasha, this got me to smile. I am sure you enjoy these days while you're preparing your departure for the big journey.

Filou and Tigris send headbumpies and nosekissies to you.:)

This is so difficult to read but I admire and applaud your courage and most of all, your love. You're wonderful people, you are.

Blessings,
M

I have tears in my eyes as I read your posts. I am glad that today was a good day and that Sasha is enjoying as much as she can. I pray that tomorrow and the next and the next and the next and so on, will be good days too! I pray that you will continue to enjoy every day being the beautiful pussycat that you are and that you will continue to eat all the lovely treats KatMa has for you and drink too! You are such a brave girl! May you all have many more wonderful memories to share. Continued good thoughts and prayers coming to you from New Hampshire!

Dear Sasha and your purrents,

It seems to me that Father Time is being kind and slowing down for you and that every moment, every little thing that happens is becoming magnified, making for an intensely personal and special time and creating precious memories for the future. For you all, the whole world is condensed into your room and all the other stuff outside in the larger world holds very little relevance. It's at times like this we realise what is truly important, what really matters.

I hope your remaining time together now continues to be filled with the love and sweetness that has so clearly come across in your messages and has touched us all. I send my love to you all and wish you peace and joy in the days to come. You and your purrents are very special, loving people and the world needs more like you.

Take care,
From all of us at the TopCat household.
Hugs and kisses, head bumps and purrs

The oncologist suspended Smokey the Elder's chemo in March 1999 because of a suspicious ultrasound. She thrived for nine more months, only declining in the last week. Chemo is rough on a cat, even though they don't often show it. I hope Sasha will take full advantage of her remaining time to become more spoiled than ever.

Ah, sweetie, good to hear you and your fur parents are enjoying your time together. Please know that when you do make your trip, you will leave a part of yourself behind in our hearts.

Lots of (((HUGS))) for you and your fur parents, sweetie.

Back in 2002, my dear white tortie Miss BooBoo Kitty, was going thru a rough time. I really thought her time had come. We contacted an animal communicator, Kate Reilly, to see what was going on. I was getting upset that Boo was not eating. Via Kate, Boo told Kate, that my getting upset because she was not eating UPSET her! Boo felt that it was no big deal that she was not eating. Boo also spoke of teaching me how to let go. Then she said something absolutely beautiful: Life is such a beautiful continuum, we are all woven into the tapestry of time. We are never forgotten. All is perfecet- if I don't eat-OK-if I do eat -OK. Once I got my act together, things were better. Boo did not leave then, but in May, 2004.
Kate said she was always amazed at the vocabulary that the animals used. There were times SHE had to look words up. And they were used correctly. Unfortunately, she no longer communicates with cats and dogs, only larger animals.
I hope this helps. Hugs to Sasha!!! Love, Sandra

These creatures are such incredible teachers, we just need to take the time to listen.

Mew, I ate today and drank 5% cream. Didn't eat a lot but I ate! My purrents are dancing with joy.

Oh! gotta go right now because I need to take another bite of that kitten food.

purrrs from Sasha

Sasha, you had cream:D Yummy:D

So glad you enjoyed it.

The Clan cats are clapping their paws in joy on hearing that dear Sasha ate kitten food and drank cream!!! Great news!!!
