Hi again, Traci. I really, really appreciate the time that you have taken to give me advice on the introduction. However, it just isn't going to workout. I tried letting them see each other again today. They were sitting about 8 feet apart from each other, with me in the middle, and Lilybeth, withou...

Thanks Traci for responding so quickly. I'm not going to give up on Lilybeth just yet. I believe that time always makes a difference. Too bad Lilybeth's previous mommy didn't have that conviction. When Patricia, my late friend, and I would talk about our kitties, we only discussed their charming att...

OK, Lilybeth arrived safely on 5/7 (By the way, I previously had her name spelled wrong). The therapist who brought her to me had contacted the airlines, so he knew what kind of carrier to purchase. He also obtained a health certificate before they flew. Lilybeth endured the flight without any appar...

Hello again, Traci, I just received a call from the therapist who has Lillibeth. He is going to fly down with her!!! He is planning on making the trip on Sunday. I am so relieved that she will be transported safely. What a wonderful person he is to do this! Anyway, I will post again when she gets se...

I will let the therapist who has her know that putting her in the cargo area is not a very good idea. Maybe we...

Hello Traci ~ I haven't posted on this forum for nearly a year. My last post was on your Prayerbook forum when my little Burmese kitty, Minx, died as a result of FIP. Less than a month after I lost Minx, my step-granddaughter, Cheyenne, drowned in a local lake. I am an ER nurse and was on duty when ...

Thank you, Tambrey, for your kind and encouraging words. I am feeling less distraught today, and am working through my grief by focusing on the happy memories of my time with Minx.

Thank you, Traci. You are very kind, as well as knowledgeable.

Thank you, both of you, for your kind replies. One thing that I have learned out of this whole ordeal is that my fellow cat-lovers are the most compassionate people on this earth.

I have been reading the various forums on this site since my 3-year-old Burmese cat, Minx, was diagnosed with FIP last month. Today, I had to call the vet out to euthanize her because she was declining (incontinent, inappetance, stumbling gait, sneezing blood). I really don't know why I am posting t...
