The silver lining here is that you can take this opportunity to educate people that have no idea about leukemia in cats, and possibly help someone else. I'm so sorry for your loss. When you lose a pet, the pain never goes away, you just learn to live without them.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09290776916085658669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1769599757981579429.post-60814625091659332662009-12-18T09:48:57.453-05:002009-12-18T09:48:57.453-05:00I would just say cancer when telling people what s...I would just say cancer when telling people what she died from. The whole leukemia difference confuses the uninformed. I'm sorry for your loss and I probably would have been tempted to slug her too. :)Achieve1dreamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15401246064499148344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1769599757981579429.post-62572650293836453632009-12-18T09:15:46.446-05:002009-12-18T09:15:46.446-05:00Hey Daisy!

We had a cat we didn't vaccinate after they had a bad reaction the first time and then the vet told us about the risks. Ours are all indoors too, except for supervised leash safaris in the yard. Yup, our neighbors think we are "crazy".<br /><br />I used to call baby a little "taco" when she'd bundle herself up like that. That pic reminded me of it. :)A Bay Horsehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16519878838113259362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1769599757981579429.post-41976234767565106342009-12-18T09:11:08.572-05:002009-12-18T09:11:08.572-05:00That was a very thoughtless comment that person ma...That was a very thoughtless comment that person made about vaccinating your cat. I guess they just didn't understand the difference between FeLV and leukemia. <br /><br />In regards to the FeLV, we chose not to be vaccinated for that after discussing it with our vet and weighing the risks of vaccine induced sarcoma vs. our negligible risk of exposure to the virus being totally indoor cats. <br /><br />ps: I had to tell you that we cracked up over the enchilada comment on our blog!Daisyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00412703583921658038noreply@blogger.com
