Sasha Begins Chemotherapy On Monday!

[AvaJoy]

Sasha, you have brightened my day upon reading the fantastic news that you are eating - YEA!!!! - and your photos reflect that you are feeling better . . . I so hope that you and yours continue to be strong and share many more tender moments together. Prayers continue, darling girl.

Sasha is still fighting

This wonderful update somehow slipped by me. What lovely photos and happy news. As long as Sasha is happy and pain free, what more could you ask. Treasure those nano-seconds. We are all learning just how precious they are.

[Rachel]

Dear Sasha, please know that I am thinking of you this morning as I do every day. You are never far from my heart and mind. I'm hoping that the food you are able to consume is giving you the needed energy to survey your territory and give you Katma and PawPaw all kinds of indications of how special they are to you. You know how they love that and these are moments they treasure.

Oh, and thank you for posing for those pictures. You gave it your best and you look so sweet. I can see the sadness in your face though, and I wish I could make that go away along with the awful illness you have had to endure.

Thank you too Sasha for letting me think of you as one of my special kitty friends. Can you tell I'm crying? I am. I'm sorry. It's just that you are so brave and so is your Katma and your PawPaw.

I hope nobody else reads this but you, Sasha, because I think you will understand, but others might conclude something different. I love you.

Dear Sasha, Hope you are having a good day today and are continuing to be spoiled!!! The Clan Cats (and the humans, too)continue to pray for(and for Mom and Dad, too).
Lots of love,
Sandra, Ralph Syracuse, Norton, Molly Meu, Raven, Tina Peepers, Nicholas, Riley, and Hayley

Lots of (((HUGS))) this morning for Sasha and her family.

[jenluckenbach]

I am looking at your pictures today Sasha, because you are so adorable! Hope today is a GOOD day!

We love the photo of all of you fine felines. Tubby must have met my fursibs Bobby the Dog, Tiggy AKA The Best Cat in the Universe, Princess and PaddyPaws. I’m sure my fursibs at RB are friends with Tubby and all of the darlings at RB.

Re: "That little girl stole my heart a long time ago." Wow! I am soooo pleased about that. Your love comes through and it is very good medicine. Mother of Many, your furkids are blessed that you are their mommy. Purrs, Sasha.

Casper and OJ were such beautiful cats. I hope they play with my fursiblings at RB. KatMa likes your saying:
I'm not gonna stand here and watch you go down, I love you too much, no I won't let you drown.. So forgive me for giving a damn--dw

smokey the elder
I will take your advice and keep eating all the forbidden fruit!

Raven & Mommy, thank you! KatMa wonders if you would post in this Forum a photo of Raven. Purrs, Sasha

Mew, I hope RB Goldie has met my fursibs! They are very nice and would be pleased to be Goldie’s friends. KatMa put into Favorites Mitzi and Mishi’s album. My album is at ImageStation too. Can you tell my KatMa how to put a link to it in this Forum?
Thanks for caring about us; we get strength from the humans and pets who write to me. Purrs, Sasha

Just knowing Tigger, Smokey, Tucker, Mystic, Abner, Gracie, Gabriel, Meg (Meowmie) and Mark (Paw Paw) are pulling for me gives me strength! Thank you. Kittykisses to the furkids and purrs to Meowmie and Paw Paw.

The Last Battle by Unknown is very, very moving. furrykidsmother’s comment: “Rachel, that is beautiful. More tears to my eyes.” is what we feel too. My KatMa will post one day soon another very lovely poem that all animal lovers will appreciate. Thank you so much for posting this. Meeow, Unknown and Anon are just fabulous poets – my favourites!

AvaJoy
AvaJoy, thank you for cheering me on and for liking my pictures. My purrents say I’m the most beautiful little girl on Earth but, tee-hee-hee, I know they are biased.

[momoffuzzyfaces]

Aw, Sweetie, you make me smile!!!

So glad you are still eating those goodies!!!

Lots of (((HUGS)))!!!

[kittycats_delight]

Sasha you keep up fighting sweetie. With all the love you have surrounding you if anyone can win this battle you can.

Susan, I am sorry I having been lending as much support as a lot have. I read this thread everytime I see there is a new reply. I have found it difficult to find the right words as words are just not enough now. I went though this same thing a little over 2 years ago with my calico so this really hits home and makes it that much more difficult to know what to say. I know for me at the time nothing made me feel better. My girls (both calicos) and I are holding you, Sasha and you husband close to our hearts in these days. We are hoping beyond hope and praying Sasha shows everyone just what love can do and shocks everyone with a complete turn around. No matter what she will know that she is loved to the fullest extent of this universe and beyond. Sending hugs to you, your husband and Sasha from your neighbors in Ontario.

(((((((((((((((((((HUGS TO YOU ALL)))))))))))))))))))))))))

Sweet Sasha!!!
Many thanks for your note!!! I have to learn how to post photos!!! However, please tell your Mamcat(is that right??) that Raven was COTD 12/9/04!!!

[furrykidsmother]

We love you Sasha!! Keep up the good work and enjoy every day!!! Good thoughts, prayers & hugs to all of you!!

[Logan]

Sasha, how precious of you to respond to each of us that way!!!! I hope you've had a good day, sweetheart. I sure have had you on my mind.

Love,
Logan, along with Butter and Mimi

My Dearest Sasha:
How touched I am that you would say a few words to me. It has brought a tear to my eye and I thank you so much for thinking about me. I've had a busy day but came back here to check up on you. Hang in there sweetie...you know that there are may furprayers coming your way.

I'm not gonna stand here and watch you go down, I love you too much, no I won't let you drown.. So forgive me for giving a damn--dw

Please tell your KatMa this is from a Doc Walker song and it represents how I feel about people and pets that I care about...including you, KatMa and PawPaw.

Bumples to you Sasha and {{{hugs}}} to the hoomans.

Rachel and the muttly crew
submitted in this thread a poem for Sasha entitled:
"The Last Battle"

I thought all pet lovers would appreciate this poem:

THE LITTLE CAT ANGEL

THE GHOST of a little white kitten
Crying mournfully, early and late,
Distracted St. Peter, the watchman,
As he guarded the heavenly gate.
"Say, what do you mean," said his saintship,
"Coming here and behaving like that?"
"I want to see Nellie, my missus,"
Sobbed the wee little ghost of a cat.
"I know she's not happy without me,
Won't you open and let me go in?"
"Begone," gasped the horrified watchman,
"Why the very idea is a sin;
I open the gate to good angels,
Not to stray little beggars like you."
"All right," mewed the little white kitten,
"Though a cat I'm a good angel, too."
Amazed at so bold an assertion,
But aware that he must make no mistake,
In silence, St. Peter long pondered,
For his name and repute were at stake,
Then placing the cat in his bosom
With a "Whist now, and say all your prayers,"
He opened the heavenly portals
And ascended the bright golden stairs.
A little girl angel came flying,
"That's my kitty, St. Peter," she cried.
And, seeing the joy of their meeting,
Peter let the cat angel abide.

This tale is the tale of a kitten
Dwelling now with the blessed above,
It vanquished grim Death and High Heaven
For the name of the kitten was Love.

purrs from my little Queen Sasha

[sasha the cat]

I wrote this tonight -- a poem which reflects my view on what a pet wants from a human. Poetry and prose are one way I express my feelings. Naturally, the worry we feel about our darling Sasha needs to come out and writing is the balm. I've penned many other poems regarding pets [and other topics too].

So, for all the Pets in this Forum and everywhere else, here is the poem entitled "Promise Me"
