    Oh, Jenn...I didn't realize Alex was so far gone...thank goodness he is knowing love from you...

    I wish they could use a bit of prednisone to take the swelling down...I wish there was something they could do for this poor boy.

    A long shot...talk to Craftlady, and see if her Reiki gal thinks there is any point. Even for pain.

    Please hug that beautiful boy for me! and kisses too!

    Jennie, it may sound cliche', but you WILL know when the time is right. I too think I would give him a chance to know love (even if only for a weekend). But if you already think he is "not himself" I would not postpone the inevitable too long. I don't know about you folk, but I truly believe an animal can feel emotional pain (like not knowing why he feels badly, not being able to do what he used to do, etc)

    I think I feel the need t go hug a few kitties.

    That's what worries me most. He must be so scared and wondering what is going on. I hate to even leave him alone for any length of time. Frankie seems to be glad that his buddy is back. He came right out of his little sleeping area and rubbed all over him (and Alex fell over). Atleast he can know the comfort of another animal.

    I'm so sorry to hear about Alex. But I'm glad that now he has human and cat love to know and soak up while he can.

    Give him and hug and a kiss from me. Prayers on the way.

    I would think Frankie would be around him if you have to be out of the house.

    I would love for PT prayers to work for Alex.

    This is so sad to hear. But at least whatever time he may have, is now being spent with lots of love, both human and cat companions. You will know in your heart when its time to let him go. If you dont think that time has come, then keep loving him until it does.

    This is the most heartbreaking story I have ever read. I can't even imagine how you must feel. But if Alex isn't himself, as you say, then the time is drawing very near when you must do the last act of kindness for him. He has felt and is feeling your love and warmth and the companionship of this fur buddies. But it's heart wrenching to think that he's scared and wondering why he feels the way he does. I wish I could do something to help you. I have been sending healing energy and lots of prayers for you both. Please feel free to PM me if you think of anything that I can do for either or both of you.

    Blessings,
    Mary
