    You all are so kind. Thank you for your caring words; they mean so much to me. We will take Luke to vet tomorrow morning (Mon). (I am crying now just thinking about it.)

    I will not be alone; my finance who loves Luke will be with us. He's as sad as I am about this whole thing. Poor Luke is getting weaker every day; he's pitiful. My big ole handsome boy is deterioating in front of my eyes; he can hardly walk--so sad. I can see that he will be better off but it is so hard. I know in my head it is best for him.... but in my heart I am dreading it so very much. I've already asked vet not to keep us waiting, to do it just as soon as possible. The vet people know me and my pets quite well so I think it will be handled quickly and with care and love. Then we'll bring Luke home and bury him in yard near two other beloved pets. Guess that's it for now.

    Kay - my thoughts and prayers are with you at this very difficult time. Please give Luke a kiss from me.

    I'm so sorry about Luke. FIP isn't really contagious; it's triggered in bugs that already exist in most cats. It's such a devastating condition.

    Rest in peace, dearest Luke.

    Death thought about it.
