To me this is all just so sad, Kyla --in tears. one of the things i must regularily remind myself is that what is legal,moral, just, and right, are not by their nature always the same thing, soft "cshenk" "Adam" wrote cshenk wrote: "Adam" wrote And all or you, thank you very much from me, too. Right now it looks like this coming Friday's scheduled visit to her doctor will be her last one. Louise is 15 or so and is clearly dying. She may be able to fail softly into the sweet night with no pain. That would be nice -- that's what pretty much happened with Allegra, who literally died with a smile. "Quality of life" will be an important part of the decision. Generally animals indicate when it's time for the Bridge. OTOH Lizzie died at home, but looking back I'm pretty sure she was in pain for a while before that. We didn't know as much back then. I understand. It can be hard to tell. I made a mistake once too by waiting too long. It wasnt terribly obvious to my 20 year old self then, but in retrospect it was. The only exoneration I can give was it was technically a roomates cat but the roomate had wandered off 2 weeks before and didnt come back until a month later. Her parents were pre-paying her share of the rent but I booted her out as soon as I sobered her up. Legally, I didn't have a right to have 'her' cat put to sleep. I should have done it anyways. |

"Adam" wrote Basically not being able to have a cat is, to me, the biggest disadvantage of having the transplant -- but I'm not willing to risk my life over it. It's just another thing I'll have to accept. Somehow pet fish aren't quite the same thing. Adam, this is radical and it may take a bit, but put the word out to your local rescue places that you are a serious candidate for any fully declawed cat. Front and back. It's not reputably done but it *does* happen and they also get found as homeless if they survive. Thanks for the suggestion! It's something to think about. OTOH it's not just the scratching I'm worried about -- it's also the risk of being around the litterbox, rubbing noses, and anything else that might be contagious. What could be an unnoticeable infection for someone else could be disastrous for me. Writing this makes it sound like I don't really want the responsibility of a cat of my own -- and considering the years pre-transplant when I could have gotten one but didn't, I'll really have to think about it. Interesting point... Adam |
