Gaki, R.I.P
Rest in Peace, little guy. God knows, you’ve earned it.
Your sojourn with us here was short, painful and desperate.
Yet was it not in vain,
For you were the occasion of much love.
Love is eternal.
It transcends death.
It blesses both giver and recipient,
and binds them eternally.
There is a Place,
not of this or any world,
where you shall once again know the angel
who strove so mightily to rescue you,
to join her struggles with yours,
in your effort to live.
To this place do the angels repair,
to rest and recuperate between their missions.
There they foster one another’s charges in their absence.
The one given your interim care
will restore you to more fullness of life
than you ever dreamed of,
in her cabin on a sunny hillside meadow,
in a clearing in a great forest,
while you await the return
of your own special eternal angel
from her current mission.
Rest eternal grant unto him, O Lord;
And let Light Perpetual shine upon him.

beautiful!!
question. can FIV+ cats live w/non? Fritz is fiv+ and will need a home but i didn't want to bring it up with ned if you don't think it would work. i've never had an fiv+ cat
Keni has lots of FIV positive cats living together with uninfected cats and has never had a cross infection. Teh only way they infect one another with HIV is biting, deep bite wounds, so, if nobody is aggressive, and the introductions are done safely, so nobody gets tiffed and fights, should be fine. Keni has five or six in her crowd FIV positive, including the two Adair boys. It's fighting that spread FIV. Mothers can also spread it to their kittens during birth and in milk.
hmm interesting :) thanks for the info. i'm totally hoping fritz will get a great forever home but if it's been a while with the fosters with no luck (after he's healthy) maybe i can talk to ned haha. only b/c the cat is so close, just in san diego.
Who is this poet?
Jim, of Corvallis, who adopted Whisper Willow from me. Whisper Willow was a kitten at a colony on Spicer Dr. I've known him awhile too. He is a star gazer and astronomer, an entomologist by trade, although retired, general scientist and a philosopher. He's very very smart.
oh scientists are just too cool!
