In the meantime, know that I understand and love my fur babies more than life itself.

Read your heartbreaking stories of each one of your babies and just cried and cried.This tribute to Alex put all my own feelings and fears of the inevitable future in words! My precious little one has pancreatitis, possibly pancreatic cancer,ibd,had hepatic lipidosis,and has some other liver condition.she also has ckd and a heart murmur. The biggest problem is getting her to eat and stop the vomiting.Like you, I have tried all different foods and all different ways of getting these horrible tasting meds into her without stressing her out and causing her to run and hide from me.She was on a feeding tube and I nursed her until it had to be removed.One day it seems that the treatments are helping and I am thrilled and then the symptoms return and we start all over.I cried when I read your tribute,because I know I will have to go through the same agony. Went through it with my other fur baby who had cancer.She crawled under the bed and I knew at that moment, that it was her time. When I finally got the courage to reach for her, her little body was already turning stiff. I let out a blood hurtling scream and couldn't stop vomiting!I could not bring myself to get another pet for 10 years after her loss.I know this time around it will be even worse!Everyone says that I should just put her down,and I say to them,"would you just put your child down if they had a disease?" I will be sharing your tribute with many people that do not understand that the love that you get from one of these angels is so unconditional and cannot be compared to any other type of love.My sweet baby girl is fighting so hard.I am so thankful for your website with all the information that you have shared.It's a lot more then I have gotten from the veterinarians! But most of all, I thank you for putting all my feelings into words! May God look over and grant all of us mercy,courage and peace.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14761456032639253553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-783184851261096158.post-38210506597492456592015-08-07T15:30:21.630-04:002015-08-07T15:30:21.630-04:00Hi Lisa, I just found your ibdkitties site and blo...Hi Lisa, I just found your ibdkitties site and blog. My heart goes out to you. I have three kitties, two 9 years old and one 5 years old. The latter is Keaton, who has digestive issues including pancreatitis and I fear is on his way to IBD. I am very scared. But I want you to know that it means so much to me that you have turned your grief into a motivation to help others. I will study your site.

What a wonderful tribute. I...Oh how I can relate. What a wonderful tribute. It has been 3 1/2 years since my beloved Topaz died and a little over 2 years since his brother Idoms died. Both were my angels also. I had never experienced so much unconditional love in my entire life. They both opened my eyes to be a better person. They gave truly all of themselves to me for 17 1/2 and 19 years and my heart still aches every day that I do not have them in my life. But they are forever in my heart. After their passing, they too visited me in different ways, finally leading me to adopt two more brothers just 5 months ago who were only 7 weeks old. My new little guys remind me how very precious all kitties are and how wonderful are these gifts from G-d. Though our grieving gets a little easier each day, it still lingers forever because of the strong bond we shared with our loved, lost ones. We never forget the precious and wonderful moments in our lives that we shared with our kitties, through good times and bad, through health and illness, through rescue till death. It is a love so strong it will always be there forever.Deanna Chaunetnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-783184851261096158.post-28827073324893630502015-07-11T18:49:35.042-04:002015-07-11T18:49:35.042-04:00Thank you everyone, Carol I still have the emails ...Thank you everyone, Carol I still have the emails you sent me when Alex died.

The light that came out of that tragedy is that Alex, through you, has been instrumental in saving many lives, and helping other kitties & their humans deal with this horrible illness. I am able to help Maizy with what I have learned from you both. I do have to add her to your page one of these days. You know, I think because they love us so wholly unconditionally, and give us all of themselves - that is what is so very precious. That twinkling star in the sky? It is surely a loved 4 footer winking down.kittyquartetmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01546904152279980416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-783184851261096158.post-87788114513557311962015-07-11T12:34:52.850-04:002015-07-11T12:34:52.850-04:00Love and hugs!!Love and hugs!!Roberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10949953947322117903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-783184851261096158.post-90206040130882045762015-07-11T10:13:15.283-04:002015-07-11T10:13:15.283-04:00No matter how much time goes by, we still miss the...No matter how much time goes by, we still miss them. My Ben has been gone since 2003 and Natasha left us just over three years ago. We never forget their personality and how they change our lives. Alex changed your life in so many ways. You have helped so many people with the same disease that claimed Alex. You decided that no other person would not receive the important information to help their cat. It took guts and courage. Some people just close their hearts and walk away. You created a website in Alex's honor/memory and brought both Finney and Lacey into your heart. You became a fighter for others. Thank you. <br />Alex would be proud of you.....Love is always there....Your friend, SharonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-783184851261096158.post-36527304342635626012015-07-11T07:30:44.521-04:002015-07-11T07:30:44.521-04:00A beautiful tribute.

I remember you coming in the store and returning stuff to try something else that she could eat, trying different diets and cans and even raw, anything that she could have that didn't make her sick. I lost my sammy last year, he was almost 18, but lived a good life, it was so hard to say goodbye! glad Finn and lacey are such sweet kitties and are doing well, miss seeing some of the videos you used to send me. I'm disabled now, can't work anymore, I have a degenerative nerve disorder that affects my wwlking, but I still enjoy as much as I can, including a new boy named luke, who thinks he's a dog and acts like a small boy, he's crazy and I love him! write me sometime, I use a tablet and can only respond to emails, not generate yet. see yah suka! linda (go4ace@yahoo.com)linda mccarthynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-783184851261096158.post-85929120427373991792015-07-11T04:30:01.532-04:002015-07-11T04:30:01.532-04:00I remember when you lost Alex.
