Thanks, Debbie....it was tough but we are getting through it...
Parfait is still hiding but she talks to us when we spend with her.....she is eating fine and using the litterbox, which is good.

So sorry Vicki. You tried your best for them and that's all anyone can ask. I hope you can give Parfait what she needs to become a member of your family. She's sure to love it if she gives you a chance.

Vickie, I am so very very sorry you lost him. Surely he is in Kitty Heaven. IN the book, "Heaven is for Real," the story of the little boy who visits Heaven said there were lots of animals there.

Dear Vicki, I am soooo sorry for your loss, it is heartbreaking and I'm sure nothing you could have done differently. BUT you gave him lots of love and good times while with you!!! So I would say you gave him a much better life. Hugs & Tears, Judy...

Vikki I am so sorry to hear this. Please do not blame yourself He must have had a heart murmur or something wrong with him you could not see. Feral cats outside have a tough life and do not live long lives. Some are lucky to have a feeder and they last longer. Buster was lucky to have you. My sympathies to you both. But look t all the good you have done too, I feel for you. HUGS

Yes, Andi noticed him breathing funny this summer and mentioned it to us.....she said she didn't like seeing the way his sides heaved as he breathed, so that is why we decided to bring them both in and see what was up...Andi said today after hearing the news that she thinks it was his heart, too......

Parfait seems fine and has quieted down a lot since removing his body from the room. We think he had heart issues as a few months ago we noticed he was breathing hard outside.....
