    Condolences

    So very sorry for your loss. I lost my beautiful Milo in May of this year, a pain so deep....
    I write because my boy had fluid around his heart and lungs also, perfectly healthy in every other way! He died of heart failure. The sudden passing of your sweet man is another indication of heart failure. I thought you might want to know. I share your pain! May the love you shared overcome the despair of your loss ❤

    Pumpkin- and George the tripos cat

    To all- thank you for your expressions of sympathy and empathy regarding Pumpkin- he is still missed, and 4 is no age to go to the Bridge- but George the Tripod Cat has helped fill the void- his right front leg is malformed from birth, so he didn't have much of a kittenhood and when he was found by my late brother-in-law, they paired up and were pretty happy- but my brother-in-law was in bad shape himself, financially and physically- and now George is in a house with a dozen young playful cats who only want to play with him, and tons of brand-new foods he's never tried before- so EVERYTHING we do with him or feed him is the BEST. THING. EVER to George- and he's SO happy and grateful!! And of course, no one took him aside and told him "You're handicapped, you can't do what other cats do"- so he just DOES it all! Climbing cat trees, jumping on furniture, playing, chasing, wrestling- he's in Heaven! So that helps- it helps a lot.......

    Thank you all again- maybe things happen as they're supposed to-

    What a wonderful story of how well George is doing!!! Please give him some extra lovies from us! (And some to you and all your family, all species, too, bowlkat.)

    Pumpkin Angel and all the Angels are rejoicing for you all at the Rainbow Bridge!!!

    I'm so sorry for your loss of Pumpkin, it was much too early. I send my deepest sympathy.

    So glad you took George in, sounds like he is as happy as can be, jumping around and playing with the others, in spite of his handicap.
